  The hosts were great and very accommodating. We had a baby in the group and they made sure everything was set up. Both made us feel really welcome. The place was nice and clean and had everything we needed. We have already informed the hosts that we'll be returning soon.

• "This is a beautiful property, and my only hesitation with leaving an excellent review is it will encourage more people to stay there."

  This could mean that we might be unable to rebook in the future! It’s a truly stunning property, well-maintained, and very comfortable. Our family of five had plenty of room, The kitchen and family room areas were beautiful, and the board games left for the kids were really appreciated. The hosts also left milk, coffee, and tea for us, and that was very much appreciated, particularly when travelling with children.

  It is in an excellent location for visiting Ludlow and other parts of beautiful Shropshire. We had beautiful weather, which further enhanced Glebe Barn and its spacious accommodation and were able to make full use of the provided bbq. Highly recommend the nearby Ludlow Farmshop for stocking up on food and drink supplies. Really enjoyed Mortimers restaurant in Ludlow.

  It's an ideal cottage for a large family wishing to stay in the area and explore the delights of the Shropshire hills, local National Trust sites and Ludlow town. The owners were very welcoming and friendly but not at all intrusive. We had a great time there and would highly recommend it ... it's an excellent place to stay

  The accommodation is spacious and comfortable, equipped with fixtures and fittings of the highest quality. Despite fairly bad weather which meant a lot of time spent indoors the seven of us were very comfortable and enjoyed the peace and tranquillity. We couldn’t have found a better place to spend our week in South Shropshire.

• "We stayed here in January and the cottage was warm and very well equipped."

  The bedrooms have very comfortable beds and the configuration meant that three couples can stay as well as a large family group. Wi-Fi was good. Both phone and television reception were good - a bonus in a rural area. There are good walks in the immediate area and a large map of the local area is displayed at the cottage. The friendly owners came over and checked all was well and even scrapped the frost off the windscreen of our car one morning. Ludlow is within a ten minute drive offering plenty of eating places, interesting shops, a castle and supermarkets. There are good local pubs at Knowbury and Tenbury Wells. We will happily return to this cottage.

  Cozy log fire in the massive living room. Plenty of room for a large family. Fully stocked kitchen, you won't need to bring any cooking supplies. Beds are very comfortable and towels available.

• "The property and location are fantastic."

  The issue we had was we did not consider the quality of furnishings (beds in particular) were appropriate for the quality of property. Beds are old and uncomfortable. Also bedding and linen was significantly below the quality expected being very outdated and well used. We also felt that the Barn lacked any real attempt to make it a home from home with miles of empty shelves, no umbrella or cushions for the outdoor patio. No BBQ for use, a welcome pack that failed to welcome, rationed toilet rolls and just two dishwasher tablets made it feel it was being operated on the cheap, despite listing as a luxury property, which it so easily could be. Cleanliness was an issue throughout where there is no attention to detail. Cobwebs everywhere, cuttlerty tray dirty, rusty bathroom caddy etc. It was very disappointing as we had such high hopes.

• "Glebe Barn was perfect for our family celebration as my wife and I joined our grown up children for a special birthday."

  The spacious kitchen and lounge gave plenty of room for six adults and could easily have accommodated children too. We arrived on a foggy January night to a very warm welcome from Ian and a cosy house. We enjoyed time in Ludlow wandering amongst the market and old buildings as well as the castle. Brisk walks in nearby Mortimer forest and cosy evenings with the log burner meant that the weekend came to an end all too quickly but we would certainly like to return.

  The cottage was lovely, spacious, clean and well equipped. It’s in a quiet village only a few minutes drive away from the nice town of Ludlow which has good supermarkets etc. You’re well placed for days out as well as you have access to main roads quite easily. The owners live just next door and were friendly and helpful, not that we had any issues though. Recommended if you’re looking to holiday in this area.

  .... and this was a repeat or our second visit. Very spacious, light and airy with great beds and showers which, in other cottages, are often sub par instant electric units over baths. These showers are dedicated units with nice pressure. It is a barn conversion with all the beams you could hope for!

• "Thoroughly enjoyed our break."

  The host Ian was very welcoming. For extra luxury a bit more crockery/cutlery would be welcome in order to cut down on needing to use the dishwasher after every meal rather than just once a day, but this is a small thing and in no way detracted from our lovely break. This property is brilliant in that the reception rooms are very large making it great for a group. Would definitely recommend it and hope to stay again sometime.

• "Despite the very heavy rainfall as experienced by most of the UK during our week's holiday (7th-14th June 2019) , thankfully, Glebe Barn offered a very welcome retreat, being warm, very clean, spacious, extremely well equipped, full of character yet with a contemporary finish."

  The owners were very welcoming and helpful without being intrusive. A bedroom TV would have been appreciated, however, the new lounge TV is a good plus point. The property's situation made it very easy to get to Ludlow ( a gem of a town), Blists Hill museum, Powys Castle & gardens, Hampton Court gardens, Hergest Croft gardens, the S.V.R and Burford House & gardens, the latter being exceptionally good value. Clearly, the bad weather did create problems, yet this area offers so much and we did manage to get out every day. Ludlow is a charming town ,full of small independent shops, many of which offered very unusual products. The town has lots of period properties, with Victorian style lighting and is very clean and well maintained.

• "Glebe Barn was beautiful and in a superb location."

  Much more spacious inside than we were expecting and with a warm welcome from the friendly and likeable owners. Cleanliness was first class throughout, and the kitchen large and well-equipped enough to easily cope with us catering for ourselves over the Christmas period. Perhaps consideration could be given to upgrading the TV in the lounge as with several in our party used to 4k TV's and old pre-HD CRT TV is rather behind the times. Given that the property can accommodate up to 7 people a larger refrigerator in the kitchen, or a second one in the utility room, would be useful as our party of 6 struggled for space in the under-counter unit that's there currently. We all also struggled to sit comfortably for any length of time on the sofas in the lounge so maybe these needing replacing too. These really are minor points though and I'd certainly recommend this property to anyone looking for a stay in Shropshire.
