• "My wife and I had a fantastic few days at Bank House Barn."

  The property was well planned out and had everything we needed to enjoy some peace and quiet. The Hot tub was a welcome addition and we used it every day, very simple to use and ready to go when we got there. The living area was ample for two people and worked well. The upstairs included a bathroom with everything you would need and the bed was amazing. It was like sleeping on a cloud. Shrewsbury was only 10 minutes away by car and we enjoyed some walks there and in the local fields where we met the owners sheep who really did enjoy Rich Tea biscuits! A perfect spot for a very peaceful break.

  Thank you both for the lovely feedback it really made my day to know you enjoyed your stay. It was a pleasure to have you with us and we hope to see you both again soon. Property Owner

• "I must confess that we were very cautious about staying in a property that is on the owners land as we usually book places right out in the sticks so we are left alone."

  However, saying that the lovely owners of this property Chris and Sonia welcome you when you arrive and show you quickly around and then you are completely left alone - when in your property you could be miles away in the middle of nowhere. Lovely property - super cute and quaint with lovely extra touches like toiletries, eggs, cakes and wine upon arrival. Hot tub was wonderful. very big for just two of you but lovely and hot and very very blissful at the end of a long day walking around the Long Mynd. I would say this is definitely worth a visit for anyone looking for some quality time together in a quaint and fabulous location - you are extremely close to all sorts of places including Wales (Aqueduct in Pontsclliffe was only 40 mins away and well worth the visit). Super - thank you Chris and Sonia for a wonderful say. x

• "In general I felt that the property was very well equipped and I enjoyed my stay here."

  Pros: - Nice little detached property, very quiet at night and peaceful, perfect for someone on their own or a couple. - Bedding and bed were fantastic and super comfortable, I slept like a log for my entire stay. - Lovely treats etc. when arriving - wine, snacks etc. were all very welcome! - Hot tub was great, very warm, private and great after a day out of walking. - Location is really good and close to Shrewsbury as well as lots of good walks in the Shropshire Hills. - House is very eco friendly and lots of thought has been given to making the property kind to the environment. - Owners were friendly, welcoming and easy to contact if there were any issues during the stay. - Easily accessible walks directly from the property. - Good takeaway and food options nearby. Lea Cross Tandoori (5m drive) and Little Efes at Minsterley (15m) were both excellent. Cons: - Sofas smelt a little damp - not a huge issue at all, probably a bit of Febreze would sort them out right away. - Parking felt a bit stretched - owners have 2-3 cars on the same drive which made turning around quite tight for a longer car, a small hatch would be easy but I struggled in a saloon. I think the owners said in a previous review they are creating more parking which would resolve the issue.

  Hello George, Thank you for your feedback, we are delighted that you had a great stay and we love it when our guests really get around the local area. We take on board your comments, we do clean the sofa and carpets between guests so we will be aware of this for the future. We have also addressed the parking so this now should be resolved .Thank you again for your visit. Many Thanks Sonya & Chris Property Owner

  Thankyou for the feedback. I’m sorry that Oska went for you but you did say at the time that he didn’t get you. He’s a rescue dog which is why we warn guests on arrival. The outside are is well highlighted on the Sykes website visually & has never been a problem. The guests are free to roam & enjoy the acres that we have & often do. The car situation isn’t normally a problem, our children were visiting at the same time but we are in the process of having more parking spaces built.

• "A really enjoyable stay."

  The property was excellent. It had everything you’d need. The welcome from Chris and Sonya was very helpful with the basket of fresh milk, eggs and chocolate treats much appreciated. Visited lots of beautiful places in the Shropshire Hills and surrounding area, including Clun Forest, Bishop’s Castle, Ludlow, The Clee Hills, Bridgnorth, Much Wenlock, Church Stretton, Carding Mill Valley and Stiperstones. Less than 15 minutes from Shrewsbury, I found lots of nice places to eat within a short drive. I’d recommend The Walrus and Osteria restaurants in Shrewsbury centre, and The Haughmond in Upton Magna. After a day exploring, the hot tub, situated in a private courtyard, was an amazing evening treat. The owner’s dogs are very friendly. Don’t forget to explore the grounds and go feed the Teddy Bear Sheep their favourite Rich Tea biscuits. I’d highly recommend a stay at Bank House Barn.

  We couldn’t have been happier. I couldn’t recommend anywhere else for such a lovely weekend away.

The owners of the property were the most welcoming & caring people, checking up on us during our stay and even providing us with a lift into the town centre & giving us multiple recommendations of what to do during our stay.

• "Not what we were expecting at all very disappointed."

  The pictures were deciving there is no privacy at all. No view and couldn't even open the blinds. We booked this for a romantic getaway but felt like we were staying in somebody else's backyard the owner was pleasant but constantly messaged regarding the lights and electric usage in the property. After reading the reviews we thought we had found the perfect place to it was not to our liking at all.

  Thankyou for you comments. This property is a sustainable property & we try very hard to keep energy usage to a minimum, as i explained on arrival the barn is completely off grid & runs on solar panels & batteries. I did request that you turn off lights if not in use because the batteries struggle when the weather isn’t great. We also have several notices in the property that kindly request that lights are turned off and this was the reason for my request. We found it frustrating to see all the upstairs lights on, all the downstairs lights & the outside lights on while you were not in the property. We are very committed to harness sustainability. We are sorry that you saw this as a negative. The energy for this property doesn’t cost us anything, but we wouldn’t be able to keep it completely off grid without the help of our guests Property Owner

The hot tub and the log burner are a touch of luxury and add to the joy of the stay in this lovely accommodation.

  We did lots of walks including the Stiperstones Circular which is not to be missed and had a great day out on the Severn Valley Railway Bridgnorth, which we highly recommend! We got the Freedom tickets and hopped on and off, discovering some lovely towns and villages along the Severn. The local pub was unfortunately not a great place to eat but we did find a lovely authentic Italian restaurant, La Laterna in the Vestry in Shrewsbury which we would highly recommend and a lovely old country pub called the Stable Inn near Minsterley which serves delicious home made food from 5pm. As for Bank House Barn we were a little disappointed. It felt unloved and tired round the edges with a lack of attention to detail. The court yard felt a bit neglected which was a shame as it could be such an asset to the property. We could only assume Bank House Barn is a work in progress.

• "Chris and Sonia were great, very friendly and helpful."

  The property was clean and comfortable, there were just a few minor ‘nice touches’ that were missing: - complimentary toiletries in the bathroom - the price we paid was comparable with a boutique hotel where toiletries would have been provided. That said I appreciate that Covid guidelines may have prevented the provision of toiletries and luckily we brought our own anyway. So just an observation rather than a complaint. - The shower was very chintzy but not overly practical for ladies with long hair that does not need to be washed every day. It was difficult to shower effectively without hair getting wet. A separate shower wand which could be used instead of the overhead shower would be useful. Failing that, the provision of disposable shower caps would be a nice touch. Again just an idea, I managed for the few days I was there. -The bathroom bin did not have a bag/liner in it which I found strange and not overly hygienic so I put my own in.

• "Really lovely property."

  All very modern with comfortable furniture and spotlessly clean everywhere. The hot tub was brilliant (even in the rain !) Chris and Sonya were very welcoming and helpful with local places to visit and restaurant recommendations. Shrewsbury with all its amenities is close by as well as lots of great walks and National Trust places to visit. Highly recommend a stay here

• "We have just had 7 days at this wonderful little cottage, the sun shone down on us the whole time which is always a bonus."

  From start to finish it was a lovely experience, Chris and Sonya were very helpful from giving ideas of where to visit to even getting us switched on with new technology. The cottage has absolutely everything you need, the area is great, Shrewsbury gave more than we ever expected. The dogs and sheep were an added bonus. Definitely recommend to anyone wanting either a few days away or longer, the hot tub was just what we needed at the end of a full day. Cannot praise this place enough.

• "AMAZING from the day we got there to the day we left we were made to feel very welcomed."

  Chris and Sonia have a lovely cosy, comfortable accommodation that has everything you need with the added bonus of the animals, chickens, dogs and teddy bear sheep. Hot tub was a bonus wether you went in day or night, lovely and warm. Lovely area to be in, not far from visiting different towns, Shrewsbury, iron ridge, Ludlow.

• "A great 7 days stay at this cottage."

  Had everything you needed in the cottage, local shop 5 minutes drive, or the retail park 10 minutes away so anything you need is close by. The town of Shrewsbury was close by also so you get the countryside feel but also being close to Town benefits. Chris was never fair away for any assistance or advice on where to visit and eat. There 3 dogs are great fun, and there teddy bear sheep are friendly and photo happy!! The cottage was comfortable and really has an at home feel. If you are looking at a place to stay look no further. 5*

• "Highly recommend staying in this lovely barn conversion with hot tub in a private courtyard."

  Our host Chris met us on arrival and despite sending us detailed directions the day before, we still managed to miss the turning for the property which is well hidden from the road! Chris telephoned us and guided us to the property and gave us a full tour of the property. We were greeted with the log fire burning and warm baguette, milk and tea/coffee left for us. The property is well appointed with everything you need in the kitchen if fully self catering. Exceptionally clean, lovely furnishings and a great location. Chris was extremely helpful and nothing too much trouble to make our stay one to remember. We really enjoyed our stay and would certainly return here again if in the area.

  Everything you need and more for a really comfortable stay, me and my wife stayed for 3 nights and could of done with a lot more. The property was very clean and modern and a nice hot tub aswel. The barn is located a 5 min drive outside Shrewsbury. You are met on arrival by the property owner Chris and given the guided tour and explained how everything works then left to it, if you ever needed anything Chris was only a phone call or txt message away. Would definitely stay again

• "The Bank House Barn is a superb place to stay."

  There are not many holiday cottages where you can stay totally off the grid but holiday in complete comfort. The barn is extensive in size for two people and we felt totally relaxed, especially enjoying the twice daily dips in the hot tub! You have totally privacy but the owners are next door and Chris responded instantly to queries and offers of help with insider knowledge of the local area. We particularly enjoyed our daily walks along the private riverside with Archie, Bruce and the very friendly teddy bear sheep. The local area is great for walking, visiting the historical towns and villages which are all located within thirty minutes drive. Thanks to Chris for being a wonderful host.

• "Recently returned from a week at Bank House Barn."

  Everything was delightful, even the beautiful weather. The barn was quirky, comfortable, warm and cozy, and equipped with everything you need. The property owners were so helpful and friendly, ensuring that we enjoyed our stay, even allowing us to jog along the bank of the river which runs through their land. We very quickly made friends with their dogs, sheep and hens. We visited Ludlow, Shrewsbury, where we took a boat trip along the River Severn, and Ironbridge. We enjoyed walking in Rectory Wood at Church Stretton. The hot tub was a great way to relax after all our activities. We had the most enjoyable experience. Would we stay again? We have booked to return in November.

• "A truly fantastic place to stay in a beautiful location."

  Exceptional comfort and an all-round fantastic cottage to relax with everything you could ever need for a restful break away. The owners go above and beyond to make your stay as comfortable as possible (baking bread on arrival, lighting your wood burner, providing walking routes) - a stay that is highly recommended.

• "My girlfriend and I spent 4 lovely nights here."

  The moment you enter the property it felt comfortable and cosy. The private Hot tub is conveniently placed outside the front door, once finished you can walk straight into the living room In front of the wood burning fire which heats the room quickly once lit. The kitchen had all essential appliances, we managed to cook a full roast dinner without missing anything. The bed was extremely comfortable. The owners were very accommodating. Chris was only a phone call away if anything was needed but left us to the privacy of our own space. The grounds of the house is great for a pre dinner walk along the river and saying hello to the friendly sheep. We would definitely stay again.

• "We have recently enjoyed a weekend away at Bank House Barn."

  On arrival we were greeted by Chris the owner who showed us around. He had been kind enough to get the log burner going for our arrival. The property was very clean and well equipped. We particularly enjoyed the hot tub and log burner. The property is very cosy and perfect for couples. We enjoyed a local walk in Church Stretton. Walking along the National Trust route on the Long Mynd. If it wasn’t for COVID we would have been visiting Shrewsbury as it’s only a short drive away. Overall a brilliant little property in a great location for visiting Shrewsbury. The built in sound system was a nice touch to the cottage. We would highly recommend!

• "We stayed here as a couple wanting a relaxing, get away from it all weekend, we couldn’t have asked for more."

  Firstly the location of the Cottage was perfect, it’s set in the grounds of the owners home and offers a multitude of walks from right outside your door, and much to our feet,IG hot we had the privilege of walking with sheep! Within a short driving distance is probably our most favourite Market Town, Shrewsbury with its amazing indoor Market and an abundance of independent shops and eateries. Closer to home there are quite a few pretty villages with pubs too, but during COVID restrictions, recommend booking. Most importantly the Cottage itself was beautifully appointed, modern, contemporary, and cleaned to a very high standard, it has all you’d need for a cosy night in. Every convenience to prepare a meal, a very nice coffee maker and wine fridge. It made for a perfect evening snuggled up next to the log burner, watching the smart TV or listening to the blue tooth music system. Alternatively, it’s a couple of steps from the door into the bubbling hot tub, completely private and set in a very prettily decorated outdoor area with an overhead pergola and lights, perfect even on a cold winter night, we relaxed in it to our hearts content. The host was exceptionally welcoming, the Cottage festively decorated, there was a delicious welcome pack, the bread was still warm and delicious! and the fire was lit. He was on hand with very helpful advice of local area, and for any queries we had, nothing was too much trouble. For us it was a 10/10 experience and if we are planning to return, it will be the first place we look for availability.
