Wonderful holiday home in the middle of the beautiful Shropshire countryside . So peaceful amidst rolling hills and farmland. Hosts Margaret and Jim were the most friendly and welcoming people... read more we could have hoped for. The cottage is in a fairly isolated position but they helped us find it quickly. The barn has everything a guest could need. We loved our short stay and wished it could have been for longer. My father called it ‘Shangrila’. Thank you 🙏

The Long Barn was very comfortable and spacious in a lovely location. The house had everything that we needed for a comfortable stay in a peaceful rural location. Having... read more a large outside sitting area with the use of a BBQ, was such a bonus.
A car is definitely needed to make full use of the area. Hikers will love the walks around Church Stretton which is an AONB . Shrewsbury, Ludlow and Bridgenorth are all not far away.

Lovely peaceful stay at the Long Barn. Well-equipped and comfortable accommodation.

Would suggest this property is slightly more suitable for older children as it was difficult to wash our toddler with no bath and a fixed shower head. Otherwise, I couldn't fault our stay.

There is a lot to discover in the area: Ironbridge, Ironbridge museums; shops and cafes in Shrewsbury and probably much more.

The surroundings were absolutely beautiful and we all loved spending time outside there in the sunshine. It was the peaceful, picturesque few days we were hoping for. Only thing that could make this place better would be a bathroom re-do, otherwise we loved everything about our stay and would happily return! Thank you for a wonderful time.

We enjoyed a lovely 3 days stay, it’s a wonderful location and very spacious.
Everything we required was provided.
We enjoyed having a small herd of cows in... read more the adjacent field!
It’s a great base to explore the Wenlock Edge or the Long Mynd.
On a couple of evenings for dinner we visited The Wenlock Edge Inn at the nearby village of Hilltop which serves really good food and real ales.
We’d definitely come back for another break.

The kitchen is well equipped with a kitchen table too. And on a personal note I did like the rubbish recycling set up!
Easy driving distance to Ludlow and Church Stretton which are well worth a visit and heaps of other lovely villages and countryside to explore in Shropshire and over the border into Wales.

Great house: it was comfortable, light and airy, and quiet in beautiful surroundings. Margaret was an excellent host. We stayed for more than a week, so space and comfort were... read more highly desirable.
The kitchen was large and very well equipped, the living room/ dining room was very vast with plenty of sitting space for everyone on sofas and at the table and still space for children to play around. The bedrooms were a good size with comfortable beds and the heating worked well.The bathroom was clean and the shower had good pressure. The back garden was great, private with a beautiful patio that got lots of the afternoon sun, plus plenty of grassy portion for kids to play in. The wifi was good, but occasionally too slow for work video calls; however,Roku worked very well. Parking was right in front of the house. The property is set away from a very quiet road so no traffic noise. Wenlock Edge is a short distance away for walks or mountain biking.
I highly recommend Margaret's property

Ah this lovely Barn! A great stay all round, beautiful surroundings and super comfortable. Margaret and Jim were very welcoming and had organised the provision of absolutely everything you... read more might need. We were enchanted with the garden, seen out of every window ... roses, neatly kept lawns, quiet privacy.
In the distance totally unspoilt valley and hill views. A very ' mellow' place to stay, and therapeutic to the soul.
This lovely holiday barn has a warm peaceful atmosphere - totally recommend.

We are a family of four with two little kids (aged 5 and almost 3) and were visiting from Singapore to see family who live in Church Stretton. This... read more accommodation was ideal for us. There was a big grassy garden for the kids to run around in, the kitchen was fully equipped, meaning I could do some much-needed laundry and easily cook. Lots of space for sitting / playing, including outdoor chairs and two dining tables (1 in kitchen, 1 in living room). The bedrooms were comfortable. Margaret made us feel so welcome. The visitor book showed us many repeat visitors had been before us and I certainly wouldn't hesitate to book again next time we are visiting the area.
