  • "We've used Sykes before and stayed in Stockbatch Granary also on the Pitchford Estate in 2022."

    We therefore knew what to expect from the description of the farm track to the property. It was actually much better than we thought and perfectly OK if car has decent ground clearance and you take it slowly. Yes your car will get mucky but the roads around are mucky too. It was so fabulous to be somewhere so peaceful during 'firework week'. We didn't hear a single bang so great for our dogs. The garden was secure/enclosed enough for our dogs who are larger and don't tend to wander but smaller dogs or escape artists would get through the railings. We enjoyed being able to walk from the door although sadly one footbridge through the woods was damaged. Walking around the estate lake was a nice stroll with autumn colour. Sadly clouds meant no dark skies but with zero light pollution I'd imagine this is a great place for stargazing. Bit of a drive to any pubs but most seemed Dog Friendly. The Pound does fabulous pies. If I'm being super picky another sofa would be good if 4 adults in the property but we made do. Contrary to a previous review, there is a microwave (the top oven is a combi). Would definitely return, the garden would be a great suntrap in the summer. Easy to clean although a mop would have been useful (there was a head but no handle). Wifi was fast enough for me to do a couple of days work and for streaming catchup TV on the freesat.

  • "A perfect holiday let for those seeking peace and quiet."

    Beautiful rural location on a farm estate with mature trees, hedgerows and fields all round. You need a robust car with high undercarriage to manage the long rough farm track in and out due to the potholes, especially after rain, but we found it worth this minor inconvenience. Treehouse Barn is spacious, all on one level and decorated and furnished to a high spec. We couldn't fault it and loved the ambience. Without hesitation, we would go back.

    The cottage and surroundings were lovely and quiet with wildlife in abundance (deer, hare, red kite, fox etc) The garden was fine for our dog; being small and an escape artist he needed to be kept on a longline in the garden but we expected this and he's used to it on holiday. Loved the kitchen, space, views, silence, dark night skies. Thank you!

    The weather was great and we could have spent more time outside with decent furniture. The flies were a big issue had to buy extra fly killer. There was no microwave, extra chopping boards would be helpful . The paintwork is looking tired on window frames and doors also the weeds by back door could do with removing.We are not being nasty but for the money it could have been better.

  • "It was really wonderful, quiet, convenient, set in an interesting historic estate, well- equipped kitchen and spacious bedrooms and living space."

    The only thing that needs improvement is the comfort of the king-size bed mattress. My husband and I both suffer from bad backs which is perhaps why we found it uncomfortable, perhaps a mattress- topper would sort it? But apart from that we had a most enjoyable stay and would highly recommend.

  • "A wonderful stay in a well equipped barn conversion which is quite and away from the noise of everyday life."

    The wifi is good and general facilities excellent (the bath in the bedroom is slightly odd but go with it and it's fine!). Garden is great is you have dogs. Would be nice to see some egg cups but that's a pretty minor, and personal preference. Close to Shrewsbury, which is lovely to explore and the surrounding areas are lovely for walking. The real issue that lets the barn down is the access road. Think moon level craters and a farm track that really requires a sturdy 4x4 and that gives you an idea of what to expect. We prayed for our suspension each time we arrived or left the barn. On the last day the farmer had made some repairs but a careful and slow drive was still required. Would we go back or recommend it? Yes. Just maybe with a tractor next time!

    The barn was exactly as described and I only wish we could have stayed longer. I would love to return. The only things that I would ask the owner to think about are: Maybe another settee in the lounge so everyone can sit in comfort. In the garden some sort of netting over the metal fence to make it secure as we had to keep our dog on his lead as he could fit through the gaps.

  • "Second time at the barn, love the remoteness and silence, no road noise is lovely."

    Views around the barn are outstanding and no one bothers you. Shops are only a 20 minute drive away. The barn could do with a deep clean and a bit of paint, there was a lot of cobwebs and dead (& alive) spiders. Walls were a bit marked and window was still cracked 4 years after the first visit. Outside doors could do with a paint, guttering leaks and there are wasps in the soffits. Garden gate does not latch and blew open, garden is not secure for smaller dogs. Shower tray needs re siliconing as it has gone black. Lack of comfortable garden furniture. We bought some locally, made such a difference to be able to sit outside and read in comfort. This is not to say we didn’t have a nice time, but the property could do with a little spruce up. Maybe a new smart tv where guests could log into their own Netflix account? Don’t be put off by what I’ve written, it’s a lovely place, it just needs a bit of maintenance to get it back to 100%.

  • "We had a wonderful stay and loved Tree house barn."

    A party of two couples, friends for years, meeting up to catch up. Two of us had visited Pitchford Hall once before a few years ago so we were excited to be able to stay on the estate. The barn is in a wonderful location for viewing historical sites and towns of Shropshire. The barn met all of our needs. It had everything you could need in the kitchen including a microwave in the upper oven and the WiFi worked well for us. The bedrooms were at either end of the barn so gave space and privacy. The bathroom door/curtain gave a surprising amount of privacy. And we loved both toilets had amazing views !!! We were impressed with the amount of space the Barn provided for just 4 guests. We thought it would be perfect for 2 as well for a romantic away from it all escape. We only saw one small human twice as he very quickly cycled past in the whole of our 4 night stay. There are a few things we would mention but not in a negative way merely to our taste. The bedrooms are large and need a chair in (we used the spare relaxing chair from the lounge). The shower cubicle is large and raised, the rest of the barn having very easy access, so a grab rail inside the shower would be very useful for us older clients. And just one thing concerned us. A lot of people have mentioned the suitability of the front garden for dogs. We were more concerned of its suitability for children and adults. We didn't have any children with us but the length of the grass, previous use by dogs and invading nettles would have concerned us if we had had. Our weather meant we didn't get a lot of time to sit outside but we did enjoy the time we did spend. Maybe a cut of the grass more often might help although we understand this is farm land. Or even dividing the large area in to two one with short grass for games or simply sitting on and the other for dogs to run around in. Completely aside and on a personal level I felt one of the pictures in the twin room was a little macabre and maybe would be better suited away from from such a happy holiday environment but that was just me. And our final comment has to be for the manager Karen. Such a helpful, supportive and responsive lady a very special thank you to her for her advice making our stay perfect. We hope we can visit again in the future and would definitely recommend.

    We are very grateful for your review and any form of feedback is always happily received. We appreciate everything that comes through to us here at Tree House Barn – thank you for your special mention of Karen, we make sure to relay every piece of lovely feedback like this to her. We would love to have you back with us again and will look out for your booking. Property Owner

    Very comfortable and warm. The only thing I would suggest is that the fencing around said enclosed garden would have chicken wire or something like it in between the bars as even labradors can get through, which is a worry if they were to get into crop field. Hopefully this is constructive feed back. A lovely break was had by us and assistance dogs. We shall book again.

    We enjoyed our stay at tree house barn, the dogs loved it. We walked the footpath route around the estate which took us around an hour, no animals in the fields at this time of year so the dogs could run the fields. We seen a few partridge, pheasant and hares. We haven’t stayed in a place so remote before but it was perfect. We visited different villages and towns near by which were 20/30 min drive, we had a lovely meal at the riverside pub which I would highly recommend. Overall we had a great time and loved the cottage and would definitely return, the only 2 small things would be the garden isn’t secure for small dogs and in the wetter months there’s no hose outside to wash dogs down/muddy boots which would make it a lot easier.

  • "We The cottage was lovely and remote, just what we wanted."

    The facilities were excellent, unfortunately the plumbing was not and the smell of the septic system nearly ruined our holiday, thus the slightly negative review on the facilities and maintenance. However, for the first time in long while in the UK, the customer service was unbelievable. Karen who was the local Sykes cottage representative could not have been more responsive and helpful in trying to fix the problem. And when it was clear that the septic issue was serious, without even missing a beat, Karen courtesy of the owners, moved us to another of their holiday properties, which was a beautiful barn conversion that slept 16 at no extra charge. So what could have been a real disaster was dealt with in such a professional manner by Karen, that I would have to say it was the best holiday cottage we have ever had and my wife and I will go with Sykes again.

    The barn was beautifully warm and cosy with underfloor heating, lovely furnishings and special touches like a lit Christmas tree and a tub of chocolates! The kitchen is very well equipped, the bath and shower were luxurious and we felt like we were at a five star resort. We had rubbish weather (which can't be helped) but we were happy to stay in the barn and had the space to relax and play board games. There is a TV and DVD player to use too. We really hope to come back with better weather so we can see more of the area.

    Excellent d/bed. The g/source heating and hot water availability is first class. Brighter bedside lighting needed to read in bed. Side lamps in lounging area again could be stronger. Fortunately we took our own portable lighting for this purpose! Dining chairs were a disappointment in their lack of support and comfort (also rather low for the table). Could a tea cozy be provided for the teapot plus a tea strainer for the leaf tea? These are minor niggles, of course, but we feel the lighting is an important issue. A real home from home feeling.

Despite not being able to allow the dogs off lead all week we had a lovely holiday and would stay again. My wife and I used the week as a "chill out" week with colouring/ puzzles/ reading and music and it was perfect, and even though it was remote there was easy access to various shops for food shopping. The contactless arrival/ departure was perfect for us with the dogs, and enabled us to decide last minute to leave at 11pm Friday night and drive overnight to avoid the Bank Holiday traffic.

    There is a long man-made track to and from the accommodation but driving carefully in a low-slung coupe was fine. This was our second stay at Tree House Barn and it won't be our last. It's a great location for walking in the Shropshire Hills or visiting Shrewsbury (5 miles) or Ludlow (25 miles). It's perfect for mutts too. My only slight reservation would be that if there are 4 of you, you need to be quite comfortable with an open toilet/shower in the bedroom! As a couple it was the perfect setup as we slept in one bedroom and used the other at the other end of the building as the bathroom. Wi-fi reception was fine (mobile phone less so).

    Well equipped and good quality fittings. Karen is an excellent property manager. Delightful short walks around the lakes and gardens of Pitchford Hall - even though the many “Private” signs may make you feel a little unwelcome. However, if you are looking for long walks from the door you may be disappointed as some of the estate paths lead to nowhere/locked gates and we even found the public footpaths through the estate were not always passable due to farm crops, despite this being contrary to the farmers obligations. For this reason, all walks from the door must be taken via the Cantlop to Pitchford road, which feels a little unsafe to walk on. So in summary wonderful cottage for most people, if you are happy to use the car for everything other than the occasional short stroll.

  • "We spent a wonderfully peaceful week at Tree House Barn in July."

    The barn is located in quite a remote spot across fields, reached by a farm track, and all around is countryside, some amazingly rare wildlife and tranquility. Just the quiet calm we needed after months of intensive working from home. The converted barn was spacious and comfortable, and has a mix of classic older furnishings with modern facilities. The modern and well-equipped kitchen especially was a delight to work in with the open-plan design meaning no separation from other family members enjoying time on the sofa whilst preparing culinary delights. The outside space was great for our two medium/large dogs who enjoyed sunbathing on the south facing expanse whilst we were happy that the fencing kept them securely within the grounds of the property. We saw a horse or two and the same number of walkers pass by all week. It was just the place we needed to get away from town life. There are interesting places to visit from here and walks to be had either directly from the barn or in the local area that can be driven to. We'd love to return to chill out and relax again in a place we felt very comfortable with. Karen, the local property manager, was also very helpful. If you want to get away from it all - this is the place to escape to.

  • "A fantastic place to stay and we will definitely go back."

    It really is in the middle of nowhere and so peaceful. The only thing worthy of note is that you don't want to enter the estate via the Pitchford Church entrance unless you have a 4x4. We took a fairly low sling 'coupe' which made the last hundred yards of that way in impassable as it was round the edge of a field and we had to turn back. There is a better way in if you go 1/2 mile further up the road and take the long driveway next to a post-box on the left. Still a bit hairy but driving carefully passed without incident (after 1/4 mile, Tree House Barn is hidden down a small track on your left on a sharp right hand bend). Well worth it though!

The property

Shrewsbury 7 miles.

A beautifully restored barn conversion resting within the Pitchford Estate, Tree House Barn is a single-storey dwelling sleeping four guests in rural Shropshire.

Set on the dairy cow grazed fields of Pitchford Park Farm, one of the three working farms on the Pitchford Estate, Tree House Barn is an eco-friendly escape, with water coming from a nearby well and renewable energy from an air source heat pump and the Estate's solar farm.

Step inside the contemporary open-plan living space where underfloor heating will warm you in the colder months whilst you socialise with your loved ones in this bright and spacious setting.

A TV with a DVD player sits in the corner when you fancy a film night, with a sofa and armchairs to relax on; it's the perfect place to wind down after a day of walking in the surrounding countryside.

Take a seat at the stylish breakfast bar overlooking the sleek fitted kitchen and keep the chef of your group company whilst they rustle up some delicious home-cooked food for all, with excellent appliances at hand including an electric hob and built in oven and microwave.

The bedrooms lie at either end of the property, with the first bedroom boasting a king-size bed and a beautiful roll top bath and basin within the room, whilst the WC rests in a separate en-suite.

The second bedroom is home to twin beds and benefits from an en-suite shower room behind a curtain, letting you step into a refreshing shower first thing.

Enjoy time outside in your own private enclosed garden, with your canine companions sure to love this large lawn space.

Tree House Barn earned its name thanks to what could be the oldest tree house in the world, Tree House at Pitchford, first appearing in records in 1692 and visited by a young Queen Victoria.

Pitchford Hall is a Grade I listed property holding a great deal of history, with the extensive grounds being open to guests to roam, coming across lakes, hills and fields with opportunities to spot local wildlife!

The nearest town to Pitchford Estate is Shrewsbury, also home to a wealth of historical significance and home to over 600 listed buildings.

Visit the imposing, redbrick Shrewsbury Castle now home to the Shropshire Regimental Museum which contains all manner of armed forces artefacts dating from the 18th century to the present day, whilst Shrewsbury Abbey is what remains of the original Norman Benedictine Monastery built in 1083 and is well worth a visit for history enthusiasts.

Travel on Britain's steepest railway in Bridgnorth, enjoying scenic cliff top views at the top overlooking the beautiful River Severn, or head to the medieval market town of Much Wenlock.

The ruins of Acton Burnell Castle are striking and can be incorporated into a walk right from the Pitchford Estate, whilst the amazing Wroxeter Roman City from the 2nd century is an amazing sight to behold!

Venture into the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty for excellent walking and cycling routes, alongside stunning scenery of course!

Enjoy a trip to remember at Tree House Barn on Pitchford Hall Estate.
