"This property is beautifully styled."
Bedrooms downstairs afford easy access to the hot tub, then a change of clothing. Open plan living area upstairs offers fabulous countryside views. Very well equipped. Great location for peace and/or exploring the area. Lots of tourist info and local walks available at property too. Friendly & efficient communication with owner. Will return.
Thank you Julie for your positive feedback, we're so glad that you found plenty to do and to explore in Herefordshire/Shropshire. The highest compliment you could pay us is that you would return. Regards Jackie. Property Owner

"The Dutch Barn is absolutely fabulous."
By far the best self-catering break we’ve had. The Barn offered comfort, peacefulness, excellent facilities and full relaxation. The owners are lovely and it was great to meet the dogs and Billy the cat and watch the cows grazing in the orchard next to us. We loved everything about it and we will definitely return. Thank you to Jackie & Peter.
We're so glad you enjoyed your short stay with us and that you left refreshed and relaxed, it's what the countryside is all about, although we sometimes take it for granted. You were excellent guests, leaving everything so clean and tidy. We look forward to welcoming you back, some time in the future. Property Owner

"The Dutch Barn was really lovely."
It was in a quiet location with fabulous countryside views from every aspect. The property was spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished, very comfortable and was equipped with absolutely everything we needed and more. I would not hesitate to recommend this property.
Thank you for choosing us for your staycation, for your kind words in the guest book and for taking the time to write us a review, it is much appreciated. You left the barn so clean and tidy which is aways a welcome surprise on changeover day. Property Owner

"The Barn offers fantastic accommodation which is very light and airy."
The location is extremely quiet and The Barn was spotlessly clean as well as being very well equipped. It is well located for general shopping in Leominster as well as being halfway between Hereford and Ludlow which offer a variety of high quality dining experiences. It is without doubt an amazing area for top quality gardens open to the public which was the main reason for our visit. Ludlow Castle, Weston's Cider Tours and Mortimer Forest for walks were additional attractions for us. We very much hope to return soon as there are many more gardens still to visit especially towards Wales.
Thank you for your feedback, the information left in the guest book regarding which gardens you visited will be invaluable to future visiting guests. So pleased that you enjoyed your time with us. Property Owner

"My second 7 day visit in 3 months, which should show just how impressive this place is."
A few very pleasant and tranquil summery evenings, enjoyed with nothing but birdsong accompanyment, to go with the view of unspoilt classic British rolling countryside. As relaxing as you could ever ask for. You have Leominster 10 minutes down the road, so access to 3 supermarkets, and a full range of facilities on the high street, typical of a small British countryside type of town. So quick and easy to get to.
Thank you Bruce for your kind words, we hope to see you again in the future. Property Owner

"My family and I had a wonderful stay at the Dutch barn."
It is beautifully decorated, well thought-out and equipped with everything you could need. The hot tub is a great addition and enabled us to keep the boys busy on rainy days. The hot tub robes were also a nice touch. The accommodation is very comfortable with quality furnishings. The barn is on a working farm but we were not disturbed once. The owners live close by but respect your privacy but were equally very responsive and helpful if needed. We really enjoyed exploring the local area. You are spoilt for choice when it comes to castles and historic buildings. We particularly enjoyed Hereford Cathedral, the chain library and the Mappa Mundi are a must see. The cafe was also really good. Homemade quiches and fresh salads. We thoroughly enjoyed Ludlow castle (a well preserved ruin which seems a bit of contradiction) . We also paid a visit to Croft Castle which is more of a stately home and there’s not as much to do there on a wet day but we did enjoy the tour of the house. Not as great in terms of value for money as Ludlow or Hereford cathedral. For something different and despite not being cider drinkers we did the Weston’s Cider factory tour which was fab. Surprisingly Family friendly too. Nice cafe there. Finally we went to Monkland Dairy. We didn’t do the tour but the lady in the shop was lovely, let us sample their 6 cheeses and the cheese makers both came out and had a chat to our boys. They watched the machinery through a little viewing window . The cheeses are delicious! Great holiday, lovely setting and plenty of things to do.
Thank you Jo to you and your family for choosing us for your staycation. We're so pleased despite the weather, that you explored the area and found lots to do. You left the barn so clean and tidy which is a welcome surprise when we go in to complete the changeover. Thanks again. Property Owner

"What a phenomenal place!"
We loved being able to relax and unwind. The Dutch Barn is exceptionally comfortable, brilliantly equipped and has spectacular views from the upstairs living space. It is a beautifully airy, open place with a view from every window, either across the fields, over the orchard where the sheep graze or across to the hills in the distance. The spa hot tub was superbly looked after by Jackie. It was a pure delight to sit under the stars in the hot water and to just sit and chat. Every need was catered for in the Barn. We thoroughly enjoyed the welcome pack which featured local produce which was a lovely touch. The kitchen was very well thought out with condiments, cling film, foil, bags, clips, utensils all available for use. Overall, we will definitely be back. Truly one of the best places we have stayed in. Thank you so much for an incredible week.
Thank you PJ and Anita, it was a pleasure to meet and host you, we're so pleased that you loved the barn as much as we do. If you've returned home feeling calm, relaxed and recharged your batteries, then our job is done. Most of all we want people to immerse themselves in the peace, quiet and beauty of the countryside and make it a memorable experience. Property Owner

"We have rented a lot of holiday properties over the years and the Dutch Barn is definitely one of the best."
It's better than the pictues, spotlessly clean, very well equipped, has fabulous views, and great hosts - thank you Jackie and Peter. It's not often we find a place we want to return to but in the case of the Dutch Barn we definitely will in the future.

"We enjoyed a wonderful week in the Dutch Barn which offered a first rate destination."
The conversation is amazing which combined with the comfort, cleanliness & facilities gives an opportunity to enjoy a carefree holiday of the highest standard. We loved every minute of our stay enjoying the views of the Herefordshire countryside & life on a working farm; the hot tub giving time to soak away the stresses; & the delightful September weather for our trips to the wealth of National Trust properties in the area, local cities, towns & villages. A holiday full of memories thanks to Jackie & Pete for sharing such a great home.
Keith & Sally We're so glad that you chose us for your staycation, it was an absolute pleasure to get the barn ready for you and thank you for respecting our beautiful property and leaving it exactly the way you found it. It is really appreciated. Property Owner

"The Dutch Barn was perfect for our staycation."
The photos don’t prepare you for the fantastic feeling you get when you walk in. A perfect home from home with everything you could want for a relaxing holiday. We spent most evenings on the spacious balcony enjoying the peace and quiet. There are some great walks from the door, so you don’t need to get in the car. Members of the local golf club were friendly and welcoming. The local pub was a short walk away and has a lovely beer garden. Jackie and Peter couldn’t have done more to make our stay a perfect one. Thanks for the lovely welcome hamper and the beans! We enjoyed seeing them harvested and sharing the story ( and the beans) when we returned home.

"We enjoyed a lovely week at The Dutch Barn with friends."
The accommodation was spotless with attention to detail and a fantastic welcome hamper. We were fortunate with the weather and enjoyed relaxing after a day's activities either in the hot tub, at the outdoor area or on the spacious balcony. The large doors open to create a great space with lots of light and fresh air. The hosts are lovely and we would recommend a trip here to relax and soak up the peace and quiet.
Thank you Helen for your kind words, you all left it as clean as you found it which is really appreciated, so thank you for that, you are welcome back anytime. Kind regards Jackie & family. Property Owner

"The Dutch Barn was the perfect staycation!"
We had the most relaxing stay for a week. It was equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The open plan lounge and kitchen have wonderful views overlooking the countryside.

We are already planning another stay.

"The perfect place to stay for a week’s staycation especially as the weather wasn’t too kind to us."
The Dutch Barn definitely had the WOW factor. We had everything we needed in a perfect setting. We had a lovely hamper of local products, including a bottle of wine and apple juice waiting for us on arrival. Jackie was there at the end of the phone if we needed her and even offered to let us stay an extra night in order to avoid travelling home with Storm Eunice causing havoc throughout the south where we had to travel to. Highly recommended.

Unfortunately due to covid we had to move it through to 2021. Jackie was so helpful with sorting it out. It was worth the wait. It was as lovely and relaxing as we had hoped for.

-
"I have no problems whatsoever with the Dutch Barn."
My dissatisfaction is purely with Sykes and the way I was treated when my booking had to be changed because of Government restrictions due to COVID. There was no “give” at all …it was their way or the highway and if I decided to cancel “they would come after me for the balance of the deposit”. You wouldn’t allow me to change properties even though the rent for the Dutch Barn would be increased by OVER £700 to £1183 for the same week 12 months hence. This is just pure greed by Sykes who just see commission,commission commission!!!
-
"Beautiful barn conversion in beautiful surroundings."
The owners are really friendly and have included some very thoughtful touches that make it extra special. Some great walks from the doorstep which leaflets are provided for. If you fancy a meal out we highly recommend the Stockton cross which is only a short walk away.
-
"A lovely quiet location with fields all around."
Beautifully laid out/decorated barn and not far from the nearest town. Even saw a lamb born as it was lambing season. Would definitely go back and take friends next time.
-
"Wow! The Dutch Barn has everything you could ever ask for with exquisite accommodation, wonderful owners on hand and such a thoughtful welcome hamper."
Everything about this property was fantastic and guaranteed we will be returning in the near future.
-
"Brilliant property and the host couldn’t do enough to help, I cannot rate this whole experience high enough!"
The pictures do not do this property justice! Do not hesitate in booking this property.
-
"We had a fantastic stay at the Dutch Barn over the October half term week with our four-year old and baby."
The barn had everything we needed and more, with stunning views over the countryside and hot tub we used everyday. It was a great escape from everyday life. The hosts Jackie and Pete were so accommodating and our son loved looking round the farm to see the animals and apple harvesting. The surrounding area had so much to do, including local walks from the barn and day trips further afield. We’d definitely recommend to anyone, and look forward to coming back one day.
-
"Despite coming up as detached on searches this property is actually semi-detached."
The fridge freezer has a very tiny freezer section. Heating is not controllable except by the owners. Overall the property was excellent and we would return.
-
"Exceptional accommodation, felt totally safe during current difficult times, would definitely recommend."
Thank you.
-
"A beautiful modern, light, airy property with everything you could need, set in rolling farmland with an abundance of wildlife and wonderful walks from the door."

-
"The Dutch Barn was everything we could have asked for this family holiday!"
The pictures just do not do it justice, we couldn’t believe it when we drove up the lane & saw the barn for the first time. By far the most amazing property we have stayed at, a very high standard throughout, well equipped and a fabulous welcome pack! There was plenty to do in the area, including walks from the doorstep, National Trust and a great pub within walking distance. Having two washrooms was a bonus, especially with the hot tub - which we loved! Just sitting out on the top deck with a book was enjoyable and the children spent the week playing in the garden with the badminton set. Being at the barn was so relaxing, would thoroughly recommend a week here!
-
"The barn was fantastic very scenic and relaxing with fields all around, there’s plenty to see and do in the area and we went somewhere different every day."
Great holiday all round would definitely visit again.

-
"We had a lovely time staying at the Dutch Barn."
It's really well decked out and we were made to feel so welcome when we arrived. You get fantastic views from inside and there are nice walks and places to cycle in the local area. The house itself had everything we needed, with a very well equipped kitchen, as well as lots of things you wouldn't expect like board games and laundry items which were an added extra. It's really special to be staying on a working farm and seeing the activity going on in the fields. The location is really well situated for visiting local sites and landmarks with a number of interesting towns and attractions nearby. Jackie was lovely and we really enjoyed the odd visit from one of the sheep-dogs.
-

-
"The Dutch Barn is a fantastic property in a lovely location."
It is spotlessly clean and well equipped. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony in the sunshine, soaking in the hot tub and watching the sun set. We slept well in the massive, comfortable bed. Also liked the powerful shower. The welcome hamper, fresh flowers and fruit were much appreciated. There is plenty to see and do in the area. The owners are friendly and helpful but not intrusive.
-
"The Dutch Barn, is a beautiful conversion, very stylish and comfortable in a lovely peaceful position, with outstanding views."
We had a very restful week, we were reluctant to leave and have already booked for next year. The owners were very welcoming and helpful and had thought of all the finer details, we arrived to a lovely starter pack. There was so much to do and visit in the area, we can't wait to come back. Thank you Jackie and Peter for creating, such an interesting and beautiful property, that felt like home.
