• "The Barn was comfortable but some of the cooking pans were not clean and we cleaned them ourselves."

  The approach road to the farm is horrendous although we understand that this is down to the council to repair but it doesn’t do the car any good. It would have been nice to have a welcome pack . The outlook from the barn is lovely and is probably wonderful during the summer months. The sofas are rather tired and in my opinion could do with replacing. We were a little disappointed but we still enjoyed our week there.

• "Wonderful location for exploring local area."

  Views from cottage marvellous. Would have been nice to know if there were areas on farm where we could go for a walk. Lots of nice pubs for food, although a drive away. Access lane needs serious attention. Cottage lovely and well equipped, beds comfy, sofa possibly needs replacing. Very helpful advise on controlling heating. A welcome pack would have been nice.

• "We had a wonderful restful stay at Garden Barn."

  The property is very well kitted out especially the kitchen, there is everything you could possibly want nothing has been left to chance. The beds are super comfy, and everything was perfectly clean. There are wonderful views from the sitting room and if the weather had been a little warmer we would have enjoyed sitting out on the decked area to enjoy them fully. The property is on a working farm hence the uneven driveway, but the council really need to get their act together and fill some potholes in on the access road as it’s abominable they should be ashamed of themselves, we have a lot of sympathy with the owners over this but it did not spoil our week. We would thoroughly recommend this property to anyone and will without doubt be back again to stay in the future.

  Enjoyed the rural environment and watching the activities in the racing stable next door. Owner very helpful and apologetic about the noise from some of the farm vehicles on one of the days and the state of the roads leading to the property. Only minor problem was I could have done with some spray surface cleaner and a bucket and mop so that I could leave the property as clean as when we arrived. Were sorry that we forgot to sign the visitors book beause we had had an amazing stay.

  Warm, comfortable (lovely large double bed), very well equipped and lots of local information. The Barn is set in beautiful surroundings, and in warmer months the outside terrace overlooking the view must be wonderful. We walked to Highley and the river Severn. There is very interesting local Industrial Revolution history. Forty five minutes away, walking up the Long Mynd is recommended. We will probably try and book ourselves in again.

Loved cosy nights with the log burner on. Beds were very comfortable. We loved being on a working farm, with outstanding views. The bumpy road to access the property didn't bother us.

• "What a wonderful cottage!"

  It was immaculate, very well equipped and so comfortable. We found Billingsley was a great location for accessing so many beautiful parts of Shropshire and the cottage was such a lovely place to come back to after a day out and about. The views in every direction were breathtaking, though the one through the French doors to the rolling hills beyond was particularly splendid. Without a doubt it was the best cottage we have stayed in with Sykes and we have been renting Sykes cottages every year for over fifteen years. We will definitely return, we all fell a little bit in love both with that part of Shropshire and the cottage.

  The wifi was excellent for our needs. We found the bed soft for our liking but we slept well. We found the water to have an antiseptic taste so bought bottled water for drinking. The boiler smelt "fumey". There are views across the fields and the lambs were a joy to watch. I fished a couple of evenings at the lake and caught carp up to 5lbs. The property was clean, well presented and well furnished. We did enjoy our stay and would definitely consider returning to enjoy the on site environment.

• "Thank you to the Williams Family for their clear communication and for welcoming us to their lovely farm."

  Garden Barn is very comfortable with the terrace providing the perfect place for watching the antics of the new lambs. The summerhouse and it’s garden are more sheltered for breezy days. The house was very clean and well equipped with a comfortable bed, and there’s a nice walk from the door. It’s almost a shame it was too warm to light the fire. The location is very handy, especially if you’re planning to have a day on The Severn Valley Railway. We had a great week and hope to return.

  Although on a farm it was quiet and peaceful and we were left to ourselves to come and go as we pleased but knew the owner was around if we needed anything.

  The beds are so comfortable and the views are delightful. Its a rural idyll.

  The cottage has all the necessary amenities required and is in a good location to explore the local area and further afield. It's approximately 30-40 minutes to Shrewsbury, which I s very nice. There are lots of facilities available nearby for families; Ray's Farm is worth a visit with young children, as is 'Wonderland' in Telford (2-5's only really). The fishing pond is excellent, although some variation on species would be a great addition. The pond has a lot of carp, ranging in size, with the biggest I caught at 6lb 4oz. Simple tackle with simple tactics will work and its a nice way to spend an hour or two in the evening. Overall this is a lovely cottage and will suit families, couples and small groups.

• "Friendly hospitable hosts."

  The accommodation is on a working farm set in magnificent suroundings. We are here in lambing season; a lovely environment for peaceful holidaying with loads of walks and local attractions. The accommodation is detached, extremely comfortable with its own garden, summer house, patio and parking. The kitchen is extremely well fitted and equipped. A spacious bathroom and two excellent double bedrooms make it more than suitable for families. TV in bedroom and lounge wilth all freeview channels. Free wifi. Independent central heating and masses of hot water. A lovely woodburner. The accommodation is close to the Georgian town of Bridgnorth with its own history, especially worth visiting are the churchs, Guildhall, gardens and river. Its fernicular railway is a great experience as is the Seven Valley railway. The accommodation is within easy car travel of beautiful tourist areas including Bewdley, Much Wenlock, the Black Country museum, Ironbridge and its museums, walking in Church Stretton on the Shropshire Hills or seeing glass making in Stourbridge with its canals. There is so much to see and do and you can return to the comfortable tranquility of the cottage.

  We have stayed in many holiday cottages over the years but this was indeed one of the best. The owners were extremely accommodating, they went the extra mile to ensure our stay was enjoyable, providing extra dog towels as the weather was very wet. Even replacing the washing machine at short notice as the one in the barn broke down.

• "We loved every minute of our stay at Garden Barn."

  Mr & Mrs William’s were extremely helpful and friendly. We stayed over the Christmas period and the barn was decorated with lovely country Xmas decorations, a real Christmas tree and other festive ornaments. The kitchen is fully stocked for all your catering needs. The beds are very comfortable and in the smaller room there is a surprising roof hatch for storage/extra sleep space. The location is peaceful and tranquil. It has been really nice watching Mr William’s farm the sheep in the field behind the barn. There is a lake in view where herons, pheasant, ducks can be seen as well as buzzards hunting the fields. Despite it being a working farm, the noise is a minimum and does not disturb. We were more than happy with this location, the vicinity and the whole booking procedure. This is a ‘dog friendly’ cottage. There is parking for 2 cars available. The road down to the barn from the main road is a bit ‘pot holey’ but this is to be expected on a working farm. Located in the perfect place for easy access to Bridgnorth, Highley, Bewdley, Kidderminster and Wyre Forest. There is plenty of local literature available for you to browse at the cottage. We will certainly consider renting this cottage again in future if we are in the area. Thank you for such a lovely time.

  There is a large raised balcony/patio area to one end of the cottage with a large wooden table and chairs for al fresco dining. A lovely secluded garden is accessed via the smaller of the two bedrooms and there is a wonderful garden room tucked into the sunny corner. Although I am a confessed lover of barn conversions and stone cottages, the features in the Garden Barn are lovely - open beams, log burning stove, an amazing tapestry above the stove, comfortable sofas and chairs and occassional tables for everything you need to hand. The bedrooms are well furnished, and we chose the smaller of the two for our stay - mostly because of the views over the garden. The owners provide a large basket of logs for the stove, and replenished it when we ran out! There are comprehensive food shops in the nearby village of Highley, and lovely woodlands walks all around the cottage. All in all, we had a wonderful week here.
