"A very comfortable holiday flat located between Whitchurch and Shreesbury just off the A49 and so ideally situated to visit many interesting places."
The flat itself was well appointed with everything needed for a self catering stay and converted to a high standard. Mind your head on the cooker hood though! Well stocked farm shop on site and the owners Fiona and Rob are very welcoming and the source of useful information. One warning: access to the flat us via 14 steps so people with mobility issues need to consider this.

"Enjoyed our stay at The Barn."
The farm shop on site was well stocked with delicious locally produced products. The owners were friendly and helpful and the location is excellent for trips out. The accommodation is well thought out with everything you could need for an enjoyable stay. We feel that the steps leading to the property could be a problem for anyone with mobility issues but you are made aware of the number of steps when booking.

"The property was good to look at when you walk in but,when you come to use the facilities it was a very different matter, the frying pans were old and did not sit on cooker very well, the pan handles got very hot."
The cooker was gas and lit by matches that were so small you burnt your fingers .The smoke alarmwent off as soon has you lit the cooker.The bathroom was very small and the bath was to big for the space, someone bigger than me would find it very difficult to use. The T.V. had it's Freeview restricted to BBC channels only. The loose rugs on a slippery floor in the bedroom constitute a serious risk of injury heightened by a low level bed.
Dear Maureen thank you for your feedback. I have noted your comments and rectified what I am able to do. You are right the frying pans were a little tired so have now been replaced. I have ordered some anti slip under rugs although that has never been a problem before. I have replaced the gas hob lighter which seemed to have gone missing. Unfortunately we are tied by health and safety regs and have to have that type of smoke alarm in the property and they can be sensitive. The bathroom Im afraid is what it is and for most people it seems perfectly adequate but we do know it isn't particularly spacious. I hope you still managed to get some enjoyment out of your holiday and it wasn't a completely negative experience for you both. Property Owner

"Lovely stay, ideal location for visiting Stately homes etc, lovely owners and a nice farm shop on site,one small gripe, the bathroom is very small,with quite a high bath to step into for a shower, I think this should be noted as an elderly/infirm person would have serious trouble getting into the / out of the shower, also a "large" person might find it a tight squeeze in the actual bathroom."
Thanks for your feedback Anthony I will ask Sykes to mention this is in the description of the bathroom. Im so glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"No faults whatsoever!"
Welcoming hosts, comfortable cottage (especially two settees so we could both stretch out after our long walks!), lovely rural location. Only downside was when the week was up, we had to leave!
Thank you for your lovely feedback. Hopefully see you again soon. Property Owner

So pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. Property Owner

"Our stay at the Barn was perfect for us."
Great place to explore Shropshire from. Facilities were excellent and the bonus of the on-site Farm shop added to the overall experience. We would definitely recommend The Barn as a great place to stay.
Thank you so much Debbie for your feedback. So happy you had a good time and hope to see you again in the future. Property Owner

"Really enjoyed our stay at the barn."
Rob and Fiona were lovely hosts. The farm shop next door was a brilliant bonus with loads of lovely goodies (especially the sausages!!) Accommodation was warm and comfortable and of a good standard. Looking forward to visiting again.
Many thanks Anthony for your lovely feedback. Property Owner

"We enjoyed a lovely break in this cottage."
It’s cosy & comfortable with the added bonus of having the shop on site. Rob & Fiona were very welcoming but not at all intrusive. It was our first time visiting Shropshire and the cottage proved to be a great base to explore this beautiful county. We loved the history, the food and the people who are so warm & friendly.
-
"Another wonderful stay at the Barn, felt like coming home."
This place is good for the soul and Fiona and Rob are wonderful hosts The barn is filled with extra touches that means you have everything you need for a truly relaxing stay including an extensive collection of books and DVDs (we watched two with a glass of wine and the fire on - perfection!) We've been before and I hope we get to come again. Cannot recommend this place enough x
Thanks for your lovely comments and glad you had a good time. see you again x Property Owner

"A very comfortable stay at The Barn."

"We enjoyed our stay at the barn but we thought that the bathroom needed updating ..."
We enjoyed our stay at the barn but we thought that the bathroom needed updating the toilet doesn’t clear at the first attempt and the shower is awkward to get in and out of maybe a stand up shower would be a better option
I am glad you had a nice time despite a few issues. Unfortunately where we are in Shropshire has a very high water table and when we have had a lot of rain this affects our septic tanks and makes flushing the loos slow. Sadly we cant do much about it and I think we had had a huge amount of rain at the time. Property Owner

"We had a great time at the Barn."
The owners were very welcoming and helpful with local information about places to visit and where to eat.
Thank you. x Property Owner

"Lovely hosts with a wealth of information on the local area and a really nice property with a great deal in its favour, however, the lack of attention to detail stopped it from achieving a 5 star rating, e."
G. no non slip bath mat for a bath/shower combination, two broken chairs, mould around the shower partition, if you cannot perch on high bar stool chairs at the breakfast bar a small occasional table has to used for meals, the sitting out area is overgrown with weeds with no chairs which would need to be taken down a flight of stairs from the house to be used. Fully accept the house is located within a business area, however, loading/unloading of vehicles starts around 7am in the car park area which is overlooked by the bedroom window and farm machinery working in adjacent field until 12.30 am was not conducive to a good nights sleep. The property promotes the fact that a farm shop is on the premises which is obviously a draw for prospective customers so a small discount within the shop when used by the ‘guests’ would be a nice gesture. Each small issue above would not deter a return visit, but taken together, they did take the lustre off which would otherwise have been a 5 star rating

"We had a wonderful relaxing stay at the barn."
The barn itself is beautiful, large and equipped with everything you'd need for a few days away. It is spotless throughout and Rob & Fiona are the loveliest hosts. We booked this for no other reason than to treat ourselves to a short relaxing break and immediately found ourselves unwinding. This beautiful place, in this beautiful setting (and not forgetting the farm shop too!) already had us pledging we'd return. If you're thinking of booking here... do! You won't regret it! Thankyou for having us!
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We will look forward to your next visit x Property Owner

"Really nice place, Rob the owner of the farm was a terrific bloke really ..."
Really nice place, Rob the owner of the farm was a terrific bloke really friendly, took me behind the scenes and gave me a tour of the bacon factory, buy some and the sausages, the farm shop was to die for I could have spent the whole time in there

"This property was beautiful."
A perfect location for access to local towns and villages. The Barn was comfortable and cozy - perfect for a couple. The owner was very welcoming but also respectful of privacy. The shower was powerful. The skylight windows were nice to let fresh air in but also for privacy. The sofa and bed were extremely comfortable too.
Thank you Katy for your feedback. So glad you had a nice time x Property Owner

"Wonderful holiday home!"
Welcoming hosts and everyone at the farm shop (a great bonus!) was helpful and friendly. Superb location for visiting lots of different places and so lovely to come ‘home’ to The Barn. We had everything we needed and it was such a great space with plenty of room but a gorgeous cosy feel. We are already planning to return.
-
"Lovely comfortable accommodation exactly as expected apart from the outside area."
It looked small on the photo but not as small as it really is. This, and the smallness of the bathroom, are the reasons I haven’t given this property 5 stars. Everything else was first class.
-
"The owners were very friendly and it was great having the farm shop on the site."
A good place for visiting National Trust and English Heritage sites. It would be good to have a hand rail for the outdoor steps to make it a little more accessible for the older visitor.
-
"Weather apart, this is a delightful cottage, and the owners are very welcoming."
So is Maisie, their dog. We found the farm shop well stocked, with sausages to die for. We would come again.
-
"The hosts, accommodation and facilities were all great."
-
"The Barn is an amazing tranquil place, it's in a lovely location close to various worthy site seeing places of Shropshire and Wales."
The hosts are friendly, knowledgeable, and Masie the dog is an character in herself she just loves to make herself welcome! The farm shop is full of local produce and very handy. Well worth a stay.
-
"This was a last minute break, the price was brilliant, the barn was lovely to stay in and it felt homely there, situated between chester and shrewsbury ideal for us, when we met the owners they were very friendly."

"We had a lovely break at The Barn."
It was great to do something that felt normal in such unusual times. The owners were really friendly and helpful. We had our toddler with us who made friends with the resident dog! The Barn is a good base to explore the area.
-
"Lovely warm welcome into a very cosy cottage."
We really enjoyed our stay, owners very helpful. Cottage ideal for getting around. Super Farm Shop in which to stock up!! Our lovely surprise was Maisie, a black Flat Coat retriever, she really made our stay all we could wish for.
-
"The bathroom is very small and it's not easy to get into the shower/bath."
We are agile for our ages but others may have problems. The heating seemed to struggle in this weather so the log burner would be essential if staying inside for long periods. DVD player did not work but hopefully owner will sort out problem as we notified them of the fact.
Thank you for staying at The Barn and providing feedback on your stay. We're sorry that you found access to the bath/shower difficult, this is not something that has been mentioned before. We found that the plumber who previously attended had turned the heating system down via the boiler which is why it was not operating fully, we found this out once you had mentioned it. The DVD player is now fixed so thank you for letting us know. We hope that this did not have an effect on your stay. Property Owner

"Lovely house and great hosts!"
Absolutely wonderful place to stay.
-
"The Barn was a very cosy home from home property."
We had a lovely stay. There wasn't anything we wanted for. It was very clean, warm and welcoming and would recommend to anyone. A point to make is that it is a working farm that starts early doors and you get regular visits from a 4 legged friend at the front door so please don't go expecting peace and quiet.
-
"Gorgeous place to stay and easy to book."
Would definitely recommend :-) Thank you!
-
"Another lovely holiday."
The barn is a superb apartment in a good central position, handy for such places as IronbridgeThe farm shop has some lovely really tasty produce- no wonder it's on Rick Steins food heroes list!
-
"Had a great break at the barn."

-
"The Barn was absolutely perfect, we could not fault it."
-
"Fantastic accommodation with a lovely modern country feel, very comfortable in a relaxing location."
A very warm welcome on arrival and nothing was too much trouble. We stayed here because we were attending the fantastic one day butchery course run by Rob, Fiona and the adorable Masie (the super friend black retriever) Excellent Farm Shop on site and lots to see and do in this lovely part of England. All highly recommended.

"We are a couple and stayed in The Barn in April 2018."
The directions were clear and the location was peaceful and tucked away. The Barn is up a set of stairs and opens up into an open plan living room and kitchen, a home away from home. Comfy sofas, tv and DVD player and a small woodburner are in the living room and the kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed, including strong wifi. The double bedroom had a beautiful view overlooking the fields and plenty of storage, The bathroom is small but works well with an over the bath shower. The whole property is filled with natural daylight. The Barn is about a 10-15 min drive from Whitchurch and we found the location easy to use as a base to visit nearby villages and larger towns. Overall we had a wonderful 5 days, we felt like we lived there rather than on holiday and would recommend The Barn to anyone wanting a low maintenance self catering holiday.
-
"Great holiday once again, Sykes holidays does a great Job of keeping you informed and giving you accurate information on how to contact the owner, key collection etc."
The Barn was another property that lived up to our expectations and enabled us to have a relaxing time.

The accommodation was stunning and had everything you needed. Had a fantastic weekend.
-
"The Barn is ideally located to access so many good walks and visitor attractions."
We only stayed for one week but could have easily stayed longer. Was not short of anything on our stay. Even the resident dog "maisy" was super friendly ❤ Would definitely recommend.

"We had a great time."
-
"A very comfortable cottage equipped with everything you could need and in a lovely setting surrounded by fields and trees."
