"We had a lovely stay at Hope Hall Barn,The Barn was very clean and cosy loved the style and decor."
The Barn is in a beautiful and quiet location and close to many outstanding walks even some lovely walks from the barn itself. We managed to see wild ponies a kingfisher, foxes and even a mink by one of the canals. Anna is a wonderful host she greeted us on arrival and told us about places to visit she had made us a delicious cake. A must visit is the Stables Inn just up the road from Barn quaint old style pub lovely atmosphere and good old pub grub.

"What an amazing well equipped, spacious delightful barn with comfy sofas in the lounge and even more comfy beds."
For doggy people the huge boot room is a wonderful plus for towels, food, coats and boots. The fully enclosed garden is a dream for dogs and people alike with lots of seating areas and countryside views and wild flowers. Anna is a delightful host and great cook! You will not be disappointed with this holiday home.

"We had a lovely stay, the property has everything you need and is a home from home."
The owner was very welcoming and helpful, suggesting places to visit and local amenities. Our two Rough Collies enjoyed the large enclosed garden which is very secure and safe to leave them to play. I was so pleased to enter the property and find a homemade Lemon drizzle cake, my compliments to the baker, it was much enjoyed and appreciated. We are planning another stay as soon as we can.
-
"A lovely gem."
In the heart of the open countryside. With outstanding views, so peaceful and a beautiful large well maintained enclosed garden. Perfect location for many attractions and wonderful walks. The host is a lovely lady very welcoming and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend.

"Lovely cottage, Anna was very welcoming and made us a lemon drizzle cake which was yummy."
The setting was glorious and a lot of space for the dogs to run.
-
"We had the most wonderful and relaxing week at Hope Hall Barn, Anna the owner was welcoming, with a straight forward check in and provided lots of local information, maps and suggestions for walks directly from the property."
The secure and enclosed garden was wonderful for our dog, being able to open the door for him, knowing he was safe at all times was such a treat The barn was clean and comfortable with everything we needed for our stay, including plenty of logs for the log burner and a delicious home made lemon drizzle cake, thank you Anna The property is very quiet and set remotely at the top of a long drive, the views of the surrounding countryside are amazing, even though it was a bit wet and windy we spent time sitting outside with a cuppa soaking up the tranquility. There is a local pub - The Stables which was a 10 minute walk from the property which is very cosy with an open fire and a varied menu, we would recommend the home made pies This was our first visit to Shropshire, Im sure without doubt we will return in the future
-
"A really tranquil haven with panoramic views of the Shropshire Hills."
If peace and privacy is what you seek this is the perfect location. Our charming host provided us with everything we needed to make the delightful Barn a really cosy castle during a very wet and cold spell. The garden was expansive and totally dog friendly and secure which allowed us complete peace of mind whilst our Bumble was out enjoying his domain. So many picturesque and interesting places to visit. Thank you
-
"Very comfortable and cosy barn conversion well appointed and well equipped ."
Very pleasant welcome from the owner and delicious cake ! Ideal location to explore Shropshire full 5 stars all round .
-
"Hope Hall Barn was the perfect setting for a perfect week ."
The cottage was ideal and the surrounding countryside glorious. Our host Anna was very helpful without being at all intrusive . We would not hesitate to recommend Hope Hall Barn to those who enjoy and appreciate exceptional countryside.
-
"The barn was lovely in an amazing setting."
We had a slight issue with the stone pathways which our dogs found a challenge but the secure garden was a great relief as the dogs could roam freely. The drive up to the barn was a little difficult for a family car being very steep and slippery in places. If we could suggest a small thing that would make the barn even more comfortable, it would be maybe updating the sofas. We shall certainly return in the future as Anna was an ideal host and excellent baker.
-
"Hope Hall barn was beautiful,idyllic."
.really enjoyed our stay and our dogs loved it..Anna was very welcoming and the welcome cake a bonus!!Will hopefully visit again,no complaints.
-
"We loved our stay."
The Barn was comfortable and well equipped. Our Greyhound loved zooming around the garden and was made to feel very welcome. We were lucky with the weather and evening meals at the top of the garden watching the fantastic sunset was a real treat. The Barn is an ideal base to explore the local area, with Shrewsbury being an unexpected delight. We recommend the Stables Inn for a good pint and lovely grub, also the Stiperstones Inn and the Three Tuns in nearby Bishop’s Castle are well worth a visit. We’d love to return.
-
"Holidayed with our 2 dogs."
Boot room and towels provided were great. Anna showed us where we could walk from the Barn with the dogs off-lead across the fields. Also told us about local walks. Pub a short walk away. Garden enclosed - fence only around 3 feet in one place so not secure for dog escape artists. Lovely area. Barn very quiet and peaceful
-
"Lovely area, fantastic views, good information about places to visit provided by cottage owner."
Lovely cake . Thank you
-
"Beautiful location and views- so peaceful."
The accommodation was comfortable with a very well-equipped kitchen and practical boot room. Our dog loved pottering in the large garden and we all enjoyed the local walks. Our hostess and family were so welcoming and we were guided to some lovely places.
-
"We loved our stay stay at Hope Hall Barn."
Its in a beautiful location and is so quiet,peaceful and relaxing. The barn is clean ,spacious and has everything you need for your stay. Our whippet loved racing around the large garden which is very secure. Anna couldn't have been more welcoming and informative about the area Think it was one of the best holidays that we have ever had. Thank you Anna Mick and Sue Fairbrother

"Distance to run once turned into Drury Lane Clearer signage to Hope Hall ..."
Distance to run once turned into Drury Lane Clearer signage to Hope Hall Barn Property lovely and owner gave great welcome and provided every support
-
"Hope Hall Barn is situated in a beautifully peaceful location whilst still being in walking distance of the local pub."
The barn itself was clean and cosy with everything you could need for a relaxing holiday. The garden was large and perfect on a sunny day for us and our dog. The sunsets from the picnic table at the top of the garden are not to be missed. The host Anna was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed, including a delicious homemade cake on our arrival. She shared her local knowledge which was great and if we'd needed anything else during our stay I'm sure she'd have been happy to help. I'd recommend for a peaceful and relaxing holiday, we'll definitely be going back.

"We have been visiting Sykes Cottages for many years now and Hope Hall Barn is by far the best!"
We had a lovely week and were so lucky with the weather. The barn is so well equipped and comfortable. The garden is lovely and safe for dogs, loads of room to run free. There are many places to visit nearby but shops are 2.5 miles away so make sure you stock up with food or Sainsburys at Shrewsbury will deliver. A long gravel track leads to the property which is on the top of a hill. The views are amazing ! The lady owner lives just opposite and does everything she can to help if needed. We were greeted with a lovely cake, milk and flowers. We can’t wait to return and would fully recommend the barn. which is on the top of a hill. The views are amazing !!
-
"Lovely converted barn, situated high on a hill with lovely views in all directions, including the nearby Stiperstones."
A large enclosed garden ideal for a dog friendly stay. A log burner with plenty of wood to keep the place snug and keep the cold out (we visited in a very cold and windy Easter). The lovely owner in the house opposite is very helpful, friendly and makes a damn good lemon drizzle cake! A lovely place to stay for walks up the Long Mynd, Stiperstones, the nearby abandoned lead mines, picturesque villages and trips across the Welsh border (Montgomery recommended).
-
"We had a very warm welcome on arrival."
The property was spotlessly clean and very well equipped and comfortable. The large, enclosed garden was secure and safe for our dog and there were some lovely countryside walks that could be accessed directly from the property. A perfect week away from it all.
-
"Cottage set in a beautiful location with stunning views surrounded by lots of walks."
Very comfortable bedroom, with high quality bed linen. The weather wasn’t great the week I was there so I was very happy curled up in bed with a book. This was my second visit which reflects how much I enjoy the location and area.
-
"Lovely barn."
Beautiful clean and very pretty. Every thing you would need Included Anna very welcoming and extremely helpful We had a wonderful week as did our dog ,,,,,would highly recommend this place
-
"Hope Hall Barn was a beautiful, warm, cozy place to stay with family and dogs."
There is a large enclosed back garden with a flat lawn, a slope and some trees to keep the dogs interested outside. Our fantastic host showed us the dog walks accessible off-lead from the front door so we could tire them early before going off to enjoy the exceptionally picturesque countryside, never having to travel far to find something different. We enjoyed inside as much as outside too. The wood burner provided more than enough heat and a lovely atmosphere in which to relax as a family after taking in all the area has to offer. This break was exactly what we needed.
-
"Excellent accommodation, marvellous location, 10 min walk to good pub."
-
"Excellent accommodation in an excellent location, and a very friendly owner."
Hope to repeat the experience in the future, and explore a few more scenic nearby locations.
-
"Great property with plenty of space for all of us."
Garden larger than average and as fully enclosed dogs loved it. Views and location peaceful and stunning. Sunsets and sunrises were amazing. The owner couldn’t have been more welcoming or helpful.
-
"We have just spent a really wonderful week at Hope Hall Barn."
We absolutely loved it. The barn is lovely, clean, extremely well equipped and very comfortable and Anna and her son Sam were lovely, helpful but not intrusive at all. There is a log burner and lots of logs supplied but it was a very hot week and we didn't need them. The barn is very quiet and rural which we loved. It is only a ten minute walk down the lane from a fabulous pub called The Stables which has a secure beer garden if you have children or dogs. The food was absolutely delicious and would highly recommend it. The barn has a brilliant, very large and fully secure garden which our dog made the most of, it was fantastic. We will definitely be back! Thank you
-

A super base for a stay in the area with fabulous panoramic views from the large garden.

"Very comfortable and very clean property - so good to have the boot room, downstairs loo, freezer and plenty of hot water and the enclosed garden."
The owner Anna was so pleasant and took care to see that we were alright.
-
"We had a great week, lots of lovely walks, perfect with our dog."
Anna gave us plenty of information on local walks that we enjoyed. The barn was excellent, spacious and exceptionally clean. Fantastic views and we saw Red Kites and Buzzards regularly from the garden. We will definitely return, still so much we didn’t get to, everywhere we went was accessible with the dog, well kept lovely landscapes.
-
"Enjoyed our stay and Anna was just."
...PERFECT.....

"Fabulous cottage in the beautiful Shropshire countryside."
Perfect place for rest and relaxation in stunning surroundings. The cottage is comfortable, well maintained and was scrupulously clean. Anna was welcoming and very helpful without being intrusive. The cottage is located in an idyllic spot with far reaching views of the glorious Shropshire countryside. The night sky was amazing. All in all a fabulous holiday cottage in a wonderful location and we are looking forward to a return visit.
-
"What a beautiful spot for a week away."
Perfect setting for peace and quiet. Fantastic walks on the doorstep or via a short drive, stunning views, local pub serving tasty food. The cottage itself is well equipped and comfortable with a secure garden for the dog. I slept so well in the comfy bed. I would definitely be up for a return visit.

"My third stay, amazing cottage with spectacular views, very very peaceful , wonderfully helpful owner, fantastic for dogs and a marvellous little PH with food at the end of the drive."
Perfect in every way
-
"Situated in the heart of the countryside, in Shropshire, Hope Barn is a perfect place to stay for visiting this beautiful area."
Hope Barn offers everything we could think of and Anna, the host, couldn’t be more helpful, we were certainly made to feel most welcome. The secure garden was also a bonus to let our dogs exercise without us having to watch them all the time. The views are stunning so making this a great place to totally unwind and relax. Would definitely recommend and hope to return in the future.
-
"ANNA was very welcoming and helpful suggesting places we might like to visit and useful shops and pubs."
-
"Lovely barn, basic but pretty."
The garden is beautiful and perfect for dogs and safe for children. The barn is also pretty. We struggled without clothes drying facilities as in a tumble dryer with a family of four. The double bed we found uncomfortable but the two single beds in the other room were lovely. We regularly stay in cottages and barns across England and Wales and think that a gesture of milk and bread is often much appreciated especially when accommodation is so far from local shops. The host Anna was lovely and helpful, there if you need advice. The area is lovely for walkers, for the children and more active days out such as theme parks and similar we often went back to Wales and enjoyed a day out in Bewilderwood in Chester as well. The local Ludlow Castle was lovely and Shrewsbury Town is pretty. There are lovely walks on the grounds of the barn. There is a pub within a 10 mins walk from the barn, it wasn't for us so we often went to the Nags Head in Pontesbury, food was lovely and drinks lovely. Lovely stay but with a few changes recommended as above.
-
"Such a lovely cottage."
Spacious and clean with all the facilities you need and super cosy. Beds were extremely comfortable! Huge garden which is enclosed and perfect for our dog who could run about without us having to worry where he was. The location is perfect, hidden away with fantastic views of the countryside, but also only 10 mins drive from the local shops and some really nice pubs that serve great food. Anna was a lovely host and welcomed us when we arrived, was there when we needed anything, but also left us to our own devices. Perfect for adults, kids and dogs. We will absolutely return again.
-
"A fantastic and beautiful location with stunning views and lots to do in the area."
It was a fantastic base, incredibly quiet but with the amazing Stables Inn just 10 mins away. If you like local produce really well cooked in a friendly atmosphere with good beer this is for you. The barn had everything you could want, would thoroughly recommend.
-
"Cottage in fantastic surroundings,perfect for dogs and good walks."
. peaceful far from the madding crowd, would recommend to anybody who loves the countryside
-
"Comfort inside and brilliant location."
-
"This was our second stay at the cottage and we would love to return."
If you are looking for the ideal base to explore Shropshire, this is it, especially the large secure garden to allow your dog to play. Your host is there if needed but not intrusive, perfect.
-
"Beautiful setting, very cozy and comfortable, loved the wood burner, well our dogs loved it, very well equipped, pity about the weather but didn't keep us in, would recommend this little haven."
Linda, Graham, Cassy & Clay (our two dogs)
-
"We had a lovely holiday,the cottage was clean with comfy beds and lots of space."
You could not ask for anything the kitchen was well equipped and the Host was very friendly and helpful.The area was beautiful it was just a shame we didn't have the weather but it didn't stop us from getting out and about and enjoying ourselves.We would most certainly return.
-
"The barn was beautiful and the garden was perfect for us and our dog and we would thoroughly recommend it"
-
"Owner looked after us very well."
Lovely location and beautiful scenery and barn was lovely with log fire burner. Had good relaxing holiday with the family and would definitely go again
-
"Perfectly located for exploring Shropshire and the surrounding areas."
The photos do not do the barn a full justice. It is far more spacious and extremely well equipped. The grounds are kept lovely and have a very large safe enclosed garden. Anna the host is very welcoming and on hand for any queries that you may have.
-
"Lovely cottage and host, great surroundings ."
The only thing to impacted the holiday was the covid restrictions. The most comfortable cottage we have stayed in. We will stay there again if we have another holiday in the area. The local pub was great, the meals were fantastic, we eat there 3 times over the stay. Would have been more but once again covid caused problems with a reduced menu. One of our party is latouse intolarent. We had to find something different else where.
-
"This is a beautiful cottage inside and out."
Inside it is spacious, clean and comfortable. Outside is a lovely, large secure garden. If you want to get away from it all, this cottage is ideal. The Stables pub is 10 minutes walk away and serves good beer and good food and is dog friendly.The area is great for walking and cycling and a lovely walk into Hope Valley Woods is virtually on the doorstep. Anna, the owner, lives opposite and is on hand for advice and information. She is very knowledgeable about the area and she made us feel very welcome. We loved our week in the Shropshire Hills and our two dogs were in doggy heaven.
-
"Lovely cottage well equipped and bigger than what we thought."
Anna is such a wonderful hostess providing us with plenty of activities for the kids allowing us to enjoy the garden and the views. Would definitely recommend Hope Barn !
-
"A lovely barn conversion in beautiful Shropshire countryside."
Excellent walks, some right from the cottage. Fantastic 4g phone signal, and strong WiFi , and tv reception kept us entertained in inclement weather and cosy nights by the brilliant wood burner. Owner Anna is very charming and helpful and always available if needed. A lovely break away from it all. Thanks Anna! Bob and Judy Askew, Leamington Spa.
-
"Lovely clean cottage great location lovely owner"
-
"We returned yet again to Hope Hall Barn, this perfect holiday retreat."
Everything was as satisfactory as ever, the accommodation comfortable, spotlessly clean, peaceful and relaxing. Our dog is happy and safe in the secure garden, we go for enjoyable walks in the Shropshire hills, and are so grateful to Anna who goes that extra mile to ensure a wonderful holiday.
-
"Just to say the barn was spacious and extremely comfortable, definitely a place we would visit again."
It had everything we required up to a very high standard. The position was good for exploring places and we would recommend a visit to Ludlow and Montgomery.
-
"Hope Hall Barn is a delightful, tastefully furnished cottage with beautiful views."
Anna, the host, made us very welcome and everything we needed was in the cottage. The enclosed garden is perfect for kids and dogs with beautiful views over the surrounding countryside. We had a very relaxed and enjoyable holiday and would recommend this lovely cottage as the best we have stayed in during our 30 odd years of cottage holidays in England, Scotland and Wales. A nice bonus is the country pub, which is a gentle 10 minutes walk down the lane, serving food and allowing dogs in.
-
"Lovely property, very well equipped/comfortable and friendly host."
Loved the secure garden for the dogs. Only slight downside was no pets upstairs/on furniture and no tumble drier but otherwise excellent. Well situated for lots of country walks and very well maintained. They have very friendly dogs too! Highly recommended.
-
"Beautiful views, very clean, well stocked, lovely welcome pack with eggs, teabags, milk etc and friendly owner!"
-
"Great location large bright accommodation."
Garden ideal for 2 large dogs. Host friendly and helpful
-
"The Barn was so spacious and comfortable, warm and welcoming."
The garden was perfect for our two dogs. The views are to die for. The surrounding fields gave us and the dogs wonderful freedom in secure surroundings. We had lovely days out in Shrewsbury and at Ironbridge. Anna was the perfect host and went the extra mile to make us welcome leaving us lovely cake,eggs, tea and milk for a starter pack for our arrival, very much appreciated. All in All a very enjoyable holiday.
-
"Hope Hall Barn is a perfect place to stay in Shropshire."
It's in a brilliant position standing at the top of a hill reached via a very long private drive. The views are spectacular and the silence makes it a very peaceful retreat. Anna has thought of everything to make the cottage so welcoming and its extremely well equipped. There are so many places to visit within just a short drive. The surrounding countryside gives many walking opportunities. Anna is a perfect hostess and we will certainly visit Hope Hall Barn again.
-
"Sykes; booking and communications throughout the process were second to none."
Excellent cottage, well equipped, superb location and lovely enclosed garden. Had a great time, really enjoyed our stay.

"Lovely place to stay for peace and quiet."
Host is very welcoming. Cottage is lovely and clean will be back next year
-
"Hope Hall Barn gave us everything we needed."
Peace, quiet and terrific open spaces. Even though the internet was hit and miss it actually made our holiday perfect as we could shut out the world and totally relax and embrace an absolutely stunning part of our country. Thankyou for allowing us the chance of this experience.
-
"This was our 5th visit to Hope Hall Barn so we knew what to expect and were not disappointed."
The "cottage" is perfect for our requirements, so relaxing, up in the Shropshire hills with wonderful views across to the Stiperstones, a completely secure large garden for our dogs, and a friendly yet unobtrusive owner who has gone the extra mile in making this the perfect holiday retreat.
-
"Anna had thought of everything to make the cottage as completely equipped for any situation."
Ample logs for the woodturner,Towels for the dogs to be dried.Kitchen had all the necessary equipment and more.Welcome cake and eggs.Nothing too much trouble.Lovely location.Maps and walks all supplied plus suggestions for pubs and other activities.Lovely fenced garden for the dogs.One of the best cottages we have stayed.We have used a lot of cottages!Beautifully clean.Cosy and warm.Perfect!
-
"A beautiful cottage in a peaceful,stunning location."
The cottage was very well-equipped and was a very good size. Everything was clean and comfortable. It was a great base to explore the beautiful local area. Our children did not want to leave. Thank you!
-
"What a lovely cosy, peaceful and spacious cottage this is."
We were met with chocolate brownies which went down well with the kids, milk and eggs, thank you! The cottage catered very well for our two dogs (Pepsi & Bree), the boot room was a must with the occasional shower we experienced most of the week. But putting the weather aside we enjoyed the walks around the cottage, some ending up at the local pub! Anna made us feel very welcome and whilst she went on a well deserved holiday the in-laws ade sure we were okay at all times. The cottage had everything we needed, the card table got a lot of use each evening. An enclosed garden for the dogs was a delight. We’ve always struggled to have a fully enclosed garden and we’re relieved this wasn’t something we had to watch out for for the full week. The log burner was also great a couple of cold evenings. All in all, we would recommend this cottage to anyone, it was a great relaxing week. Thank you
-
"Hope Hall Barn is a great base for exploring the beautiful Shropshire countryside."
It is within half an hour of Shrewsbury which is great if you want to do a bit of shopping but also there are villages all around if you just want to have a few nice walks and stop off at the village tea room. The barn is so homely with everything that you need to make your stay comfortable and we settled in within the first day. There is a lovely pub just down the road which offers great food if you don't want to drive out to eat which is great if you have had a long day out. A lovely holiday which we all enjoyed, especially the dogs who loved the freedom of running around the enclosed garden.
-
"Cottage was everything we hoped for set in a fantastic countryside location."
Views from garden were fabulous.Cottage was well equipped and very comfortable.Wouldnt hesitate to go back or recommend and Asda deliver.
-
"Excellent holiday cottage in the most beautiful location with gorgeous views."
Owners very friendly, helpful and were able to recommend lovely dog walks directly form the cottage. Garden was really relaxing and very dog friendly. Our dogs were in heaven in the garden ! Cottage had everything you could want and the extras were a lovely bonus after our long trip. We will look back on this holiday as one of the best cottages we have stayed in and the most dog friendly. Thank you.
-
"This is definitely one of the best holiday experiences we've had."
The barn is spacious, comfortable and extremely clean. You can see that the owner has put a lot of care and effort into furnishing it. The whole place smelt fresh and clean. We took 2 dogs with us and felt they were as welcome as us and not just tolerated. There is plenty of room for dog crates and all the stuff dogs seem to need when you go on holiday!! The best thing for me (And the dogs) was the large fenced- in garden which was full of wild flowers when we visited. We could sit there looking at the amazing view in total peace and quiet. The owner is so helpful and friendly and we really enjoyed our stay. Absolutely brilliant!
-
"Peaceful location with beautiful views."
Secure, dog-friendly garden with lots of space to run; ideal for our two energetic Labradors. The barn is well equipped and comfortable and there are walks from the doorstep. Only 10 minutes walk to a welcoming pub too. There is a lot to see in the are and we will definitely return.
-
"Hope Hall Barn was delightful, from the well equipped kitchen, cosy living room and comfortable beds to the large fenced garden, our two labs enjoyed exploring."
We were warmly greeted by Anna and made to feel thoroughly at home. There was lots of information on days out to suit everyone and the local pub, The Stables Inn, was a short stroll away where the food was delicious and plentiful, just what was needed after a long day exploring the local nature reserves.
-
"We really enjoyed our stay at Hope Hall Barn."
Our host Anna was very helpful and welcoming. The cottage was cosy and had everything we needed. There are plenty of lovely walks right on your doorstep. The local pub, the stables inn, is less than a 10 minute walk away and has a great atmosphere and local beer and food!
-
"Cottage was beautiful and couldn't have asked for a more relaxing and enjoyable stay."
Gorgeous surroundings and a lovely host - the yummiest lemon drizzle cake for us on arrival :) Did try and make an amend to the booking and had contacted Sykes a few times and never had anything back... looked like they may had amended my booking request just didn't inform me it had been done, so maybe better communication from Sykes but apart from that everything was great.
-

All this, plus wonderful walking country over the South Shropshire Hills and many mountain biking trails nearby, makes the village of Hope the perfect starting point for your Shropshire adventure.
