"We had a very relaxing holiday, with good weather!"
. The cottage was as described, cosy, comfortable and quaint. We met Rita (the owner) and Henry (woof, woof) a couple of times. She gave us ideas for the holiday and places to visit. Great welcome on arrival, complete with fresh laid eggs and home made sticky date cake, delicious. All in all excellent holiday and we would recommend it to anyone.

"Rita is a lovely host providing milk fresh eggs and mouthwatering cake to set us off."
The cottage is lovely and relaxing in front of the wood burner looking at the trees with a glass of something is just what we needed.
It was a pleasure meeting you and a relaxing break is what's so important. Thank you for the surprise bottle you left..it was very kind of you and the voucher for coffees at Ludlow Pantry will be used very soon.

"Walkmill Barn is an absolute delight!"
It is cosy and clean and beautifully presented. Rita is a wonderful host, ably assisted by Henry (the wire haired Daschund, who is adorable). I would recommend Walkmill Barn to anybody looking for a quiet hideaway, it is lovely!
Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure meeting you both and your lovely little dog and you left the Barn so clean which was a great help after my busy weekend. And thank you for coming to the Wentnor Church Flower Festival before heading home.

"A super comfortable stay in this beautiful cottage."
Rita was so welcoming and friendly as was everybody we met. It was the perfect base for exploring the surrounding hills before enjoying a relaxing glass of wine in the garden.
I'm so pleased you enjoyed your stay. The locality has so many walks ...I'm still finding new ones after 20 years!

"We've had a great week here in this characterful cottage with its wonderful garden."
Many thanks, Rita, for making us feel so welcome, and the cake was a lovely treat. We have really enjoyed making friends with Henry the dachshund, and Harri Parri the cat. There's so much to see and do in the area, but Powys castle is a must . The only disappointment is that is hasn't been cold enough to make use of the log-burner! Maybe next time.

I'm so pleased you enjoyed your stay and you certainly had a wonderful week weather wise. Thank you for your most thoughtful gifts. I've potted up the Pittesporum so it can be admired on the patio and the wine was a good choice. After you left I think my pets missed all the lovely attention you had given them! Best wishes, Rita.

"Beautiful cottage in lovely peaceful village."
Owner Rita and her lovely little dog made us feel at home, there if we needed anything but also aware of letting us get on with our holiday.
Our dog Bert loved the garden and the nice big windows to look out of.
Comfortable furniture, well equipped kitchen with good quality crockery and pans, cake and eggs with milk ready on arrival for us.
I am sure this will be a success as it’s just an ideal place to stay.
2 pubs within 15 mins walk, great food and hospitality at the Inn on the green. ( book for Sunday lunch) dogs allowed in bar area, plenty of room.
We will definitely be back and have already recommended it to friends.
Thank you
Tony Claire and Bert
Thank you for your lovely comments. It's always satisfying to know that visitors have had a good time. The local pubs are indeed dog friendly and reasonably priced. I look forward to your return one day.
Kind regards, Rita.

"A lovely, homely and comfortable barn conversion set in an extensive 'wilding' garden with a babbling brook."
We and our dog were very warmly welcomed and enjoyed the cake, treats and the bowl of eggs for breakfast. We would recommend The Bog, a few miles away, for walks and refreshments. The Shropshire landscape is as stunning as described by Hausman, " those blue remembered hills", although the drive over the Long Mynd is not for the faint-hearted!

"The Barn is a lovely space in a beautiful setting, very peaceful and surrounded by nature."
Very well decorated with lovely finishing touches, very comfortable settee and bed, garden views from 2 sides and courtyard view the other. Upstairs area good for yoga! Kitchen very well equipped (loved the serving dishes!) but smaller that it looks on photos.
Easily accessible, quick to visit places of interest and towns eg Stokesay Castle and Church Stretton. Well stocked shop 10 mins walk and 2 pubs same distance. Walks from doorstep, great access to Long Mynd and main walking routes.
Property adjoins owners house which was not mentioned on listing - very useful when we needed to borrow something (!) and owners were very discreet but we did notice conversation through the adjoining door in the kitchen from time to time (no doubt they could hear us too)

"Walkmill Barn exceeded our expectations."
A warm, comfortable and welcoming cottage that is perfectly situated for long walks along the Long Mynd and surrounding hills. The fresh farm eggs were a daily treat, and Rita (our hostess) provided us with a lovely homemade cake upon our arrival. Nothing was too much trouble for Rita, she made sure that we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. We highly recommend Walkmill Barn to anyone who wants a quiet and cosy few days away. Certainly one of the best cottage holidays we have had with Sykes. We shall return!
