Betty's Barn

• "Lovely property."

  Great facilities. Very clean. Nice and quiet. Lovely walks. Friendly host Liz. I feel I should mention the B roads that lead to Betty's barn are very narrow includes some blind bends which can be quite stressful and quite dangerous. Caution is advised. This did impact negatively on our stay. If not for the roads (which can't be helped) We would definitely have return for another stay.

• "Betty's Barn was in a wonderful setting, the accomodation was well furnished and equipped and everything was spotlessly clean."

  The garden and grounds were beautiful and it was wonderful to see the horses when waking up in the morning. It provided a great base for our walking holiday, close to the start of our walks and near to where our other walking group members were staying. The accomodation was a credit to the owners.

• "Very comfortable, and larger than I expected."

  It's a stables/ livery so busier than I expected, but far from intrusive. I wanted to walk Wenlock Edge but footpaths are little used and some are overgrown. Even with OS mapping and GPS, I did a fair bit of backtracking. Worth it for the very pretty scenery and vintage buildings.

• "Second time staying here, lovely cottage, central for visiting places."

  Was told to make ourselves at home, able to see the animals and able to use the fabulous garden, was even able to feed Peter the peacock which the children loved. Would like to thank Liz for a lovely welcome, we hope to book again for next year.

• "Thank you so much for such a spotlessly clean and comfortable Betty's Barn."

  We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and loved all the birds (even the beautiful Peacock) and animals around the Livery stables. Thank you too for the lovely welcome of flowers and biscuits. Oh and the yummy eggs to buy. So sorry to damage the shoe rack on leaving but we do appreciate your understanding and kindness in this. We will definitely be recommending Betty's Barn to our friends and family. Thank you again. Heather and David Gifford

• "Betty’s Barn is a lovely end of terrace cottage in a great area for a relaxing break."

  The Stables opposite provided lovely sights & activity to watch. Chickens, ducks, geese, peacocks added to the beautiful nature. Wellies are a great thing to pack. Lovely walks from the cottage. Excellent parking. Easy check in via key safe & responsive owners to any issues. Although ‘dog friendly’ there was no dog smell or evidence until we used the hoover…we emptied it as it was left full & a quick hoover completely filled it again - we are pet free. Therefore cleanliness looked great, until we used the hoover. A delicious packet of Shrewsbury biscuits was on the table for our arrival. We took all condiments with us & all containers were empty. Lovely open plan downstairs. 2 spacious bedrooms, each with 1 double & 1 single bed, one with ensuite shower, the other has a lovely big bath with no shower but it is not ensuite. Plenty of toilet rolls & towels were available. Heating is excellent and the cottage is lovely & warm. Downstairs toilet is a great bonus. We struggled with the 2 very low & deep sofas but others have commented on their comfort. Thank you for a relaxing break in lovely area.

  The accommodation was clean and comfortable. Countryside all around is stunning. What makes Betty's Barn so special is the wonderful family that own and run it. Never intrusive, but always so welcoming. We honestly felt like we were staying with friends. If you have children they will love all the animals. We will definitely be going back.

  I would especially rate the Long Myndd and Much Wenlock as really nice walks. Also just 30 minutes away by car is the Ironbridge George which I would also recommend. My only comment about the accommodation is I could not find the black binder with all the instructions for the cottage and what to do when you check out. Other than that it was excellent. I hope to come back someday in the future.

• "We had a great stay at Betty’s Barn."

  The Christmas tree and decorations were a lovely welcoming touch. The cottage was spacious, clean, characterful, and well-equipped. Our dog loved the walks around the garden and woodland - we were a bit concerned about not having an enclosed garden, but there is a shared lawn area at the front and this was fine keeping her on a long lead. Lovely to see the horses (stables just opposite the cottages) and everyone we met was very friendly. There is a 10min drive through single track lanes to get to the farm from Church Stretton, where we were visiting family. Great if you want to get away from everything, see the stars and hear the owls at night!

  It is in a wonderful setting surrounded by open countryside. The cottage is warm, cosy and well equiped. It is spotlessly clean. It really has a lovely feel to it! The bed was very comfortable and there is a shower in the ensuite and a huge bath in the seperate bathroom. There are walks from the house, we walked to Wenlock Edge from the door. There are also marked paths through the woods behind the farm, great for a morning walk with the dog! It is short drive to Church Stretton where there are many great walks. We had a lovely week at Betty's Barn and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

• "Cottage well equiped ."

  Nice layout and clean everywhere. A low step from kitchen to lounge area and to the rest of the property . Only two niggles i had was the dirty oven and very bright bedroom ceiling blinds. Double set of internal stairs with handrails to bedrooms and bathrooms. Both upstairs bedrooms were on eitherside of the property. Each room had a double and a single bed which were firm with nice bedding. There were early morning sounds and activites from wildlife and the stables behind the property so not as quiet as we thought though this didnt spoil our holiday. The property literaly backs onto the lane and is not fenced from the road. Only one side of the property is for outside sitting in the small grassed area. It faces onto the horse fields and gets the sunshine which is very pleasant. The property location is great for all the attractions and beautiful sceenery.

  The cottage was clean, comfortable and extremely roomy. Mrs Kite had put a Christmas tree up for the previous occupants and left it there for us to enjoy! On the table were 4 boxes with lots of chocolate treats and 3 small bottles of wine. What a lovely surprise! We certainly enjoyed bringing in the New year! On New Year’s Day, Mrs Kite came over to wish us a happy New Year and invited us to come and meet the horses etc. We were feeding the peacocks peanuts, which is something I have never done before! My daughter and I walked round their private gardens, absolutely beautiful! The peace and quiet certainly was most welcoming. Will definitely recommend.

  It is spacious, warm and cosy and the owners are very friendly and welcoming - there if you need them, but always respectful of guests' privacy. It is in a wonderful location and the woodland walks within the grounds were perfect for our dogs - keep a lookout for the intersting sculptures dotted around! The surrounding countryside was an artist's palette of wonderful Autumn colours and we were lucky with the weather which, although cold and crisp early morning, developed into days that were warm, bright and sunny - what a fantastic time of year this is to visit! It is within easy reach of a variety of interesting places, Carding Mill Valley and Gigrin Farm Red Kite Centre being our particular favourites, but can also recommend Ludlow Food Centre and restaurant. We would definitely return to Betty's Barn and have already recommended it to family and friends and would like to thank the Vine-Kite family for an absolutely wonderful holiday!

  You just had to ask if you wanted anything. Took my grandson around the farm closing the birds up at night and collecting the eggs. He said it was brill. My grandson definitely wants to go back there again and there is still so much to see in the area that we never got to. Only 2 points I would like to make are that 1 of the bathrooms is not truly en-suite as you have to go out of the bedroom to get to it and the other there was no details of items to be recycled.
