Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.

We are very glad you enjoyed your stay in The Tractor Shed.
I’m so sorry the comfort of the sofa impacted on the comfort of your stay. We had a new sofa on order which arrived on the 20th March, after an 8 weeks wait, such a shame it didn’t arrive in time for your stay with us.

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback Gwyneth. I will look into the possibility of adding a blackout blind in the bedroom. The window opposite the bathroom door does have a blind which most guests drop to aid their privacy but I will monitor comments from future guests.

"The converted tractor shed was equipped with all the appliances and utensils you'd need for a week away."
We were able to easily cook meals and sit outside at the garden table, to enjoy the last of the Summer sunshine.
We have two bits of feedback:
1. Waste bins - we didn't realise that the dustbin outside the property were only to be used for recycling. We were told on two separate occasions, on the same day, how the bins should be used. When I apologised for not using it correctly, I was told it was in the handbook. This did make me felt slightly uncomfortable. Who reads the handbooks cover to cover when they arrive? In future, I'd suggest two outside dustbins; one for recycling and one for general waste and to label them to prevent any confusion.
2. Dogs - we absolutely love dogs and the owners have two beautiful black labradors, who roam free in the grounds. The dogs barked and growled at us throughout the week and stood at our gate most the time. As soon as you open the front door they started barking. If you're not a dog lover or have a fear of dogs, this could be off-putting. Especially as there's no mention of it in the listing.
I'm sure if you're only planning to be there at night and early in the morning it wouldn't be too much of a problem.
That aside, the cottage itself is very nice and the location is brilliant. A 5 minute walk down the road to see the cows and 20 minute walk to The Cross Keys pub who do a brilliant roast pork! There's also a lovely restaurant called The Townhouse in Oswestry, which has a great beer garden and has beautiful decor inside.

"The Tractor Shed is a very well executed conversion, all done to the highest quality."
Everything was very clean and we even had an email before arrival telling us the extra steps the owner is taking due to the virus. The property was more spacious than we had expected, the bed was very comfortable (as good as at home) and the shower superb (much better than at home!). It was very well placed to visit many attractions in Shropshire and into Wales. The local pub in the village (remember those?) was also excellent, very friendly and serving a super Sunday roast.

"The cottage was very well appointed and comfortable."
Storm Chiara raged outside and we were very cosy within. We enjoyed the layout and the fact that the lounge was upstairs and we could weather watch in comfort. In between the rain we went out and it is situated very conveniently for days trips.

"What a fantastic cottage."
We have done many stays in similar properties over the last few years but this was the best! Recently converted to an extremely high standard throughout. Nothing could improve this property and you go without nothing. Great WiFi and having a smart TV in the lounge enabled us to login to our Amazon and Netflix in the evenings. Did lots of exploring of the area. Thanks Nichola and Rob, you have done an amazing job and we most certainly will return.

"We had a fantastic time at The Tractor Shed, it was beautifully furnished and very clean and smart."
It was in a very nice, rural location and we enjoyed morning runs and evening walks around the country lanes. We enjoyed walking up local Rodney’s Pillar and a little further afield in the Shropshire hills.

The property
Oswestry 8 miles.
Tucked away within the owner's grounds, just behind a private driveway, is The Tractor Shed, a charming barn conversion for two.
It offers bundles of character, from the exposed ceiling beams and hay windows to the oak staircase and doors, for a cosy and inviting feel.
Step straight into the kitchen, which is wonderfully appointed with modern appliances, ready for you to rustle up those delicious meals to be had around the dining table.
Just off from here, you also have a handy utility room housing a washer/dryer, just in case you need to do any laundry while you are away.
Climb the stairs to the mezzanine living room and spend your relaxation time taking in the rural views through the large picture window, which allows plenty of natural light to flood the space.
Curl up with a good book or tune into the TV as you unwind into your evening with a replenishing drink.
The enclosed garden to the outside allows you to soak up a balmy afternoon on the gravelled patio, crack open a bottle of wine and chat late into the evening, making plans for the day ahead.
This is also a lovely spot for having your morning coffee during the warmer season, and later you can cook up a tasty breakfast with the free-range eggs provided on arrival.
Borrow one of the bikes available and cycle down quiet lanes and through open countryside, drinking in the scenery and feeling fully refreshed.
Find traditional pubs and local shops all around in the nearby hamlets and villages, or spend a day shopping in Oswestry or Shrewsbury, both beautiful towns with historic buildings and plenty of places to grab a bite to eat or a drink.
Explore the wider region and travel across to Wales for the Snowdonia National Park or North Wales coastline and beautiful lakes Vyrnwy and Bala.
Discover all the wonders of the area and then return to this rural abode to relax, at the end of each adventure-filled day.
The ancient border market town of Oswestry has restaurants and all usual amenities along with its extensive and well preserved hill top Iron Age fort which is great for walking and views. Historic houses and castles with beautiful grounds locally include Chirk and Powis Castle, Erddig and Attingham Park, or visit the nearby market town of Ellesmere, once described by Alan Bennet as ‘Shropshire’s Lake District’. Further afield lies the Welsh mountains and coast and picturesque Lakes Vyrnwy and Bala, while the World Heritage Site of Ironbridge, Medieval Shrewsbury and Roman Chester are also within driving distance.
