• "We had a wonderful 4 night stay at The Hayloft."

  Clean and comfortable accommodation enhanced by beautiful surroundings and hot tub in private garden. On our first morning we awoke to six inches of snow on the ground - wonderful! The pub across the road is warm and friendly with excellent food and beer. We didn’t go out much due to the ice and snow but want to return to walk the local hills. Thank you for a lovely stay.

• "We spent an excellent week at the Hayloft which had everything we needed."

  Phil and Lara were away but the Inn staff looked after us and our take-away meals very well indeed. The weather didn’t materialise to be quite as awful as forecast and we were able to do long walks every day to discover this beautiful part of Shropshire we didn’t know before such as walking the ridge, the impressive Devil’s Chair, the Bog (lovely tea room) to Rhadley Hill, Clun and Bury Ditches Iron Age settlement, Haughmond Abbey, etc…The lemon drizzle cake was so good and milk and bread left for us was a thoughtful touch.

• "We had a fantastic stay at the Hayloft!"

  !! It had everything we needed and the owner had provided loads of great info and local tips. Lovely enclosed garden for the pooch, with the highlight being the hot tub. Stipingstones is a beautiful village with lots of scenic walks and lots to do in the area. I definitely plan on visiting again.

  The hot tub is a lovely extra. The property is set in a lovely village, the pub serves food, the food is gorgeous and great value for money. Staying at the Hayloft you get 10% discount at the pub. Walks for Milo where on the doorstep. The views are spectacular. The cottage was immaculate, home from home. On arrival into the cottage the owners had left a beautiful cake, milk and bread. I will be booking again for next year. Highly recommended. The shop next door sells everything you would ever need on holiday. Definitely the wow factor

  It had all the amenities we needed, including a washing machine and dryer. The hot tub was perfect after a long trek. A bonus is the inn next door that has amazing food, and also a small shop. There's a nice enclosed garden for those staying with pooches as well.

• "This cosy conversion is ideal for a couple."

  The kitchen/dining area is well equipped, the small sitting room is comforting and the bedroom has ample drawer space and an adequate built-in wardrobe. The bed itself is large and comfortable and the room has a good view. The secluded hot tub and contained patio garden with barbeque is a bonus. There is a welcoming pub right across the road  serving excellent food and its adjoining tiny shop is a department store in miniature. The setting is dramatic and the surrounding area of outstanding natural beauty invites exploration.  But don't just believe this... try it for yourselves.

• "The Hayloft was perfect for a relaxing getaway."

  Really attentive hosts, we arrived to find milk, bread, and cake left for us which was incredibly thoughtful. We spent every evening in the hot tub, just enjoying the peace. Some of the towels left for us were stained which was disappointing, but overall the cleanliness was good, and the bedroom is so gorgeous. The pub across the road is so friendly, with an unexpectedly large vegetarian menu. I spent all week drinking whinberry gin, so lovely! We took our dogs for beautiful walks right on the doorstep, no need to drive anywhere. Such a lovely area. We fully utilised having the shop across the road, and again were pleasantly surprised at how well stocked it was and the variety of products. We were, however, quite shocked to walk in one day to hear a conversation between a shopkeeper and some locals that was transphobic and quite homophobic. It was made even worse when they tried to include us in this derogatory conversation. Though this has nothing to do with the holiday property, it may be worth noting if you're planning a stay. Again, this is of no fault to the hosts; we loved staying at the Hayloft and were sad for our holiday to end. We had such a great time

• "Lovely haven for two with the added luxury of a hot tub."

  Basics provided Tea , coffee etc. Milk and homemade cake extra bonus. Pillows were a bit soft personally, so would have liked a firmer choice. The Stiperstones Inn is across the road (owners) serving fine ales and good food at a reasonable price. Good area to walk or explore by car.

• "Well proportioned and well equipped, perfect stay for a couple."

  Hot tub very convenient and ideal for two. Host and pub staff are very helpful and the village shop just opposite is amazingly well stocked. Plenty of stunning views from the surrounding hills. Even a car is not essential as with planning the local bus service and bus stop next to the property can be used.

  Truly lovely, very relaxing, and everything provided that you could need! The kitchen is well equipped, the bed so comfortable with lovely bedding, comfortable sofas, games and DVD's ... everything you would want for a relaxing break in that beautiful part of the UK. And to top it off, the pub is literally a 30 second walk away! And it's a country pub, so not loud or rowdy, but just friendly with amazing food! And there is a little shop next door to the pub which appears to sell everything! Yes, I would thoroughly recommend a stay in the Hayloft, it's amazing!! Oh, and the hot tub is pretty good too!

• "Not happy at all with this property."

  Central heating was abysmal, was constantly switching off due to the boiler switch being flicked overnight. This occurred every night we stayed. I specifically requested the hot tub area to be prepared for use upon arrival, hot tub was prepared but there was no garden light whatsoever so hot tub was rendered useless at night time. No TV in the bedroom, had to borrow the TV from the living room. Toilet seat was cracked, and bathroom was too cold to use at times due to the central heating issue. I booked my stay for 7 nights, but cut it short to just 4 nights because of the terrible experience - requested a full refund from the owner but that was denied - was only compensated less than half of what I originally paid for the booking (even though the property owner constantly had to come and sort out the heating issue) so was not happy at all about the experience overall. I will never be booking here again, and I would never recommend anybody to stay here (unless you like living in a fridge-freezer). Horrible, horrible experience. 0/10.
