"We had a 2 night stay and it was really lovely."

The cottage is beautiful and has everything you need provided. The paddock for the dog was fantastic. The owners dogs come to say hello but they can't get into the paddock which is secure for guests pets. The owner was lovely and happy to advise on local shops and restaurants etc. It's very quiet and we had a wonderful break. Highly recommend

"My family and I have just spent the last 3 weeks at 2 Barn Cottages and highly recommend it."

We have stayed at many self catering establishments in the past but never experienced the high quality that AnnMarie provides from the furniture beds cutlery and crockery etcetera. Then to have the use of the field outside our door with the orchard was a brilliant extra our little Cavashon loved it. So if you get the chance to visit it you won't be disappointed Well done Anne-Marie we miss you already.

"We just spent the night at Barn Cottages for a wedding."

I can definitely recommend this place - absolutely perfect especially if there’s an event or wedding at Iscoyd Park it’s less than 2 min drive away. Also AMAZING for dogs and puppies - we brought our puppy and she absolutely loved running around in the garden area as it was completely enclosed. The rooms were very comfy, had everything we needed, and felt very clean. Owner is also very very helpful and gave us some great advice and suggestions.

"On Thursday morning the owner knocked on the door, she said that she had a problem, the Saturday (the day of our departure) the next guest would like to arrive at 11am as they have a wedding to attend."

“ not a problem “ I said, “we’ll be out for nine thirty “ giving her time to clean the room. When we booked the cottage it was for myself, my mother and my daughter plus a dog. On Tuesday, my daughter had to leave to go back to work. on Thursday, my sister and her husband called me and asked if it would be okay to come visit us at the cottage. I replied that it wouldn’t be a problem. they arrived Thursday late afternoon after travelling from Bristol, they intended to book a room in Whitchurch for a couple of nights that I said they might as well, stay with us as we have booked the cottage and didn’t see it as an issue. On Saturday morning we packed and cleaned the room the best we could, to help the owner out! We have just finished putting the luggage in our cars and the owner confronted me and stated I had broken the contract and she was not happy that I allowed my sister and brother-in-law to stay for two nights. yes, I should’ve has asked her permission, but I didn’t think there would be a problem. The way she humiliated me in front of my family was uncalled for, especially as I helped her out by leaving early. The cottage was lovely the owner not so !

"A wonderful stay!"

The nicest self catering we have ever stayed in. The place was spotlessly clean, excellent facilities for self catering-everything you need and more. The hosts could not be more welcoming and helpful for advice for the local area and we were made to feel so welcome and at ease. I called them a couple of times for advice and they happily told about places to visit and places to park. The ironworks was well worth a visit. Thank you for a lovely break- It was shame we had to leave! Thank you!

"A lovely property in the countryside - lots of paths nearby for walks."

The cottage was really well equipped and all lovely and clean and great spec. Lovely bathrooms in particular (important for me!). The only downside for us was the lack of sound proofing with the next door cottage (joined by an interconnecting door). And so we were very conscious that any noise our dog made would be heard by those next door (they didn’t have a dog) so it did mean in the mornings rushing to get up quickly when our dog squeaked to let us know he was awake (if we were at home or it was somewhere more isolated we would usually just ignore him for a bit). But that was probably our fault for not reading the description properly - the cottages can be rented together for a bigger group.

"We had a lovely holiday at the barn."

Albert and Freddie were very impressed with the large paddock they could run about in without fear of them getting out. The barn was very comfortable. Great decor and a very comfy bed. Really light with the 2 sets of French doors out on to the decking area. We had a couple of barbecue’s as the weather was so lovely. All the recommended pubs in the welcome book were dog friendly which was a bonus. Loads of lovely places to visit, Chirk with its Castle, The British Ironwork Centre, Oswestry is definitely worth a visit.

Very glad that you were able to relax and enjoy the cottage and the surrounding area-including the pubs. Thank you for your lovely feedback and we would be pleased to welcome you back. Annemarie Property Owner

This was everything we needed with regard to comfort and situation of the cottages, which were outstanding. Perfect for our dog with an enclosed area. So well equipped with many extras.

"Absolutely beautiful setting and barn, the furniture and equipment really are 5* it's like home from home comfortable sofa's, beds lovely, bathrooms clean and good, the kitchen and open plan area has everything you need."

The outside patio and paddock are simply perfect if you take your dog, ours absolutely loved the paddock and local early walk around the local field. Ann-Marie and Jennifer are simply perfect hoist nothing is too much trouble for then if you need anything. Local country parks pubs and shops all very close by at Whitchurch. The only thing to be aware of is that you do have to drive to get to anywhere i.e Pub or Shop you could not walk to any of these but in our view the peace, quiet and tranquility made up for this. This was by far the most healthy summer holiday we have had for many years as we would normally go abroad all inclusive!!!

Barn Cottages At Iscoyd

Two contemporary, all-ground-floor cottages, resting amidst the beauty of the Iscoyd Estate, the Barn Cottages at Iscoyd offer a desirable base from which to explore the countryside of Wales and beyond. Resting in Iscoyd, in easy reach of all of the amenities that Whitchurch has to offer, there's no better choice for a rural retreat. The original house of the property was constructed in the mid to late 19th century, and was used as a farm and dairy before the property was extended in the 1960s when the barns were originally built. Two historic cottages offering a group of six a flexible sleeping arrangement encompassed by a sleek, stylish interior, they make the perfect choice for your discovery of North Wales. Both of the properties are very similar in style, with their open-plan living spaces making the perfect space to come together to toast to your celebratory escape, the wooburning stoves bringing a welcoming warmth in the winter months, or sit out in your own private gardens where you can dine alfresco as your canine companions make the most of the shared enclosed paddock amongst the stunning countryside surroundings. The local area is a true delight for those seeking a rural escape, with plenty of opportunities for walking and cycling in easy reach, as well as the wonder of Iscoyd Park being close by, perfect for those attending a wedding. Venture into the nearby market town of Whitchurch just under five miles away, where its beautiful buildings from Medieval, Tudor and Georgian times house a range of cafés, pubs and restaurants where you can indulge in a hearty lunch, while you can also enjoy a generous breakfast pack on request back at the cottages, with local products bringing you the very best tastes of North Wales. For those seeking outdoor adventure, The Lands End to John O’Groats cycle routes pass through Whitchurch, as well as it being a ‘Walkers are Welcome‘ town, while the Fenn's, Whixall & Bettisfield Mosses National Nature Reserve is the perfect place to wildlife watch. The town borders all of Chester, Wrexham and Shrewsbury, making the cottages a wonderful base for touring both North West England and North Wales, with each town holding its own unique atmosphere with plenty of family-friendly attractions too. Explore the beautiful Roman walls encompassing Chester or spend a day at the races, while Wrexham boasts the National Trust delight of Erddig, steeped in rich history and home to a landscape pleasure park, with Shrewsbury being of equal historic wonder with its castle, museum and Tudor centre home to wonderful shopping experiences. For a memorable stay in Wales with your loved ones, there's no better choice than the Barn Cottages at Iscoyd.
