There are fantastic walks from the front door, a lovely village with plenty of pubs, restaurants and shops just 1 mile (15 minute walk) up the road. A nice pub just 5 minutes away with good food and dog friendly. The owner was very welcoming, we will definitely return.

"My two sons and our dog spent a great weekend here in July."
The cottage is beautiful and there was plenty of space for us all. The scenery is amazing and it is very quiet at night so definitely one for a good nights sleep. Cottage had everything we wanted which for two teenage boys was good WiFi and the hot tub!? Would definitely recommend and come back.

"A brilliant week spent exploring the area."
So easy to get to different walks, with stunning views. The cottage was lovely. Plenty of space. Could do with a bit more crockery and the downstairs mattress not comfortable and needs replacing. But everything else was great. Including the weather, local pub the Yew Tree, and trips to Ludlow and Ironbridge. Our dogs loved every minute also.

"We had a beautiful stay here for 2 nights."
Ideally located near Church Stretton with plenty of shops, restaurants and walks up Long Mynd. The cottage was comfortable, beautifully decorated and furnished. We would stay again. The garden area with the babbling Brook was a great surprise and perfect for the kids to play in. The area is quiet, and it was lovely to wake up to the sound of the birds chirping. The sheep and lambs were a welcome addition in the field next door.
The water was not hot in the downstairs shower room so showers were very short! Other than that, we have bo complaints.
Thanks for the great feedback, glad you had a lovely time, hope to see you again.

"Lovely cosy stay."
With Christmas decorations and trees put up for our stay. As well as welcome gifts.
Very appreciated.
Living rooms comfortable and kitchen nice.
Hot tub was lovely (Cover very heavy to take off and difficult to put back on as there isn’t much room round the side to do it).
The hot tub is checked every day for chemicals etc. Which is fab.
Nice pub not far for a nice meal.
House lovely and warm.
(Bad points:
*Bedroom downstairs has dirty carpet unfortunately. Not nice at all.
*Shower would not get warm. Hot water doesn’t work so couldn’t have a bath.
Water would get luke warm, Then occasionally get roasting hot for a couple of seconds then go lukewarm at best again.
*No drawers or anything at all in bedrooms.
Apart from the downstairs befroom.
There is room to put some sort of drawers on the sides of bedroom or even outside the bedroom upstairs.
*The WiFi is not great.
*The TV signal is not good and watching TV Christmas Day was disappointing as the picture kept scrambling).
*TV remotes are awkward to use as you have to swap signal from one to another. There are instructions but it takes a while to do).
*Bathrooms could do with a makeover.

"Accommodation clean and spacious and we loved the hot tub."
Unfortunately we could clearly smell the dogs of previous occupants and barking dogs at No 2 disturbed us - the occupants at No1 had to curtail their stay because of this and were VERY unhappy. Directions to the Old Barn were poor - we were walking from Church Stretton train station and getting there was stressful although we got to know the buses. Also we couldn't work out how to use the microwave. Old Barn is very much for car owners. However the Long Mynd and surrounding area was spectacular.

"The property was not up to standard with cleanliness."
Towels smelt strange, sink hole
was brown, shower cubicle had black mould inside. The Duvet’s and pillows were of poor quality compared with other cottages we have stayed at. Needs a dressing table where you can plug in a hairdryer. A welcome pack with some basics like milk etc is what we are used to and nothing was left. Hot tub area was really in a sad state so we didn’t use it. The place felt tardy needs updating in our opinion. We left a day early which was a real shame. Price doesn’t reflect what we paid for.

Had a wonderful break, gorgeous hilly walks followed by a pint at the very close local and then a dip in the hottub - which although outside the front door in the courtyard was very private still. Felt like we were away from it all even though just over am hour away from home, will definitely be back to discover more of this amazing part of the country.

"A very pleasant barn conversion in a beautiful part of England."
A good supply of information about the property and the locality, was on hand. The owners were easily contactable - we had a concern about the jacuzzi settings.
Some of us missed having more surfaces and hooks to put washing paraphernalia on / hand clothes from in the downstair bathroom. Others were more relaxed - and who could blame them for being so.
Staying there was a real treat in terms of getting away from the crazy city life elsewhere.

"Although we very much enjoyed our stay at Old Barn 4 maybe a couple of chests of drawers to store clothes in during our stay might have been useful."
I appreciate that the walls in the two upstairs bedrooms are sloping but you can get low chests of drawers which would have fitted in well. Also whilst I appreciate the difficulties of covid etc, a few old books and games might have been useful.
Finally, the instructions on waste and recycling were extremely vague or non existant so we didn't really know what went where with what.
Apart form that, we had a lovely time and would recommend the cottage. Thank you

Beds were comfy after a long day walking. Hot tub was great only thing to improve there would be a gate or curtain to cover the gap from the front door to hot tub, when over residents were in court yard they could look right at you. Only other thing that would improve the cottage would be a proper welcome leaflet with things like heating controls, as for is was to warm. Also about resetting the hot tub on rcd after powercut! Luckily I'm a sparky so checked it but other people might not think. But that's me being picky. Overall lovely place we will be back in 2022 if not before if we can get a weekend.

Was very dark inside which wasn't pleasant especially when sunny outside and no private outside space (would feel cosy in winter though in the flip side). Was a little shabby & in need of updating eg tap was broken in kitchen and we had to fix it. Not worth £200 per night although appreciate prices are possibly high right now due to covid. Hot tub was great but had a layer of scum in it. Accommodation itself was clean. Great location.

"Hi there. As I reported on our first night, the hot tub was not hot so we could not use it until the following day."
Glasses and crockery were also smeared and appeared to have been hand washed in greasy water even though a dishwasher was available so it was clear the cleanliness had not been adequately inspected and addressed. The silicone oven mitt was also covered in food! So overall, this reduced our confidence in the cleanliness of the cottage even though it seemed good in general. The hot tub was spotless so that was a plus. Overall all this is a great cottage in a great location with great facilities, just a bit more attention to cleanliness required especially during the current pandemic.
