"We had a lovely relaxing stay at Bank House Barn, it really ticked all the boxes for us."
We got a bit lost, arriving in the dark probably didn’t help, but Sonya was on hand to direct us the last couple of turnings. Thank you for letting us stay at Bank House Barn, we will be definitely book mark this one for a future visit.
Thank you Darren and Jo, so lovely to meet you both and delighted you enjoyed your stay with us. Thank you again for your visit and your feedback. Hope to see you both again soon. Property Owner

Everything was amazing , lots of little extras that had been thought about. The hot tub made our stay just perfect.

"My wife and I had a fantastic few days at Bank House Barn."
The property was well planned out and had everything we needed to enjoy some peace and quiet. The Hot tub was a welcome addition and we used it every day, very simple to use and ready to go when we got there. The living area was ample for two people and worked well. The upstairs included a bathroom with everything you would need and the bed was amazing. It was like sleeping on a cloud. Shrewsbury was only 10 minutes away by car and we enjoyed some walks there and in the local fields where we met the owners sheep who really did enjoy Rich Tea biscuits! A perfect spot for a very peaceful break.
Thank you both for the lovely feedback it really made my day to know you enjoyed your stay. It was a pleasure to have you with us and we hope to see you both again soon. Property Owner

"We had a two night stay here which was absolutely perfect!"
Beautiful location and a lovely place to stay! We were kept informed of how to get the key and received texts around this etc, directions and recommendations for place to eat! Would certainly recommend a trip into the town and visit the loopy shrew! It was such a nice break for our anniversary we will definitely be returning for another visit!
Hi Amelia and Adam, thank you both for your lovely feedback and we are really pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay with us. Hope to see you again soon. Property Owner

"A really lovely cosy property."
A warm welcome and the little extras such as welcome basket and shower gel & shampoo were a lovely bonus. A great location to visit lots of lovely parts of Shropshire .
Hi Louise, thank you for the lovely feedback. It was lovely to meet you both. You and Barry seemed to really make the most of your time in Shropshire and delighted that the barn had everything you needed. Many thanks Sonya and Chris Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay in the Bank house, it was spacious inside and had all the facilities and amenities that were needed."
Friendly hosts and were available if we needed anything and also gave us ideas of what to do around the area. I would definitely stay there again! Thank you Sonia and Chris!
Thankyou so much Renu for the lovely feedback, it’s great to hear that you enjoyed our little barn. Property Owner

"I must confess that we were very cautious about staying in a property that is on the owners land as we usually book places right out in the sticks so we are left alone."
However, saying that the lovely owners of this property Chris and Sonia welcome you when you arrive and show you quickly around and then you are completely left alone - when in your property you could be miles away in the middle of nowhere. Lovely property - super cute and quaint with lovely extra touches like toiletries, eggs, cakes and wine upon arrival. Hot tub was wonderful. very big for just two of you but lovely and hot and very very blissful at the end of a long day walking around the Long Mynd. I would say this is definitely worth a visit for anyone looking for some quality time together in a quaint and fabulous location - you are extremely close to all sorts of places including Wales (Aqueduct in Pontsclliffe was only 40 mins away and well worth the visit). Super - thank you Chris and Sonia for a wonderful say. x
Thank you both for your stay and your lovely feedback. It was a pleasure to have you stay and always appreciate the feedback. Many Thanks Sonya & Chris Property Owner

"In general I felt that the property was very well equipped and I enjoyed my stay here."
Pros: - Nice little detached property, very quiet at night and peaceful, perfect for someone on their own or a couple. - Bedding and bed were fantastic and super comfortable, I slept like a log for my entire stay. - Lovely treats etc. when arriving - wine, snacks etc. were all very welcome! - Hot tub was great, very warm, private and great after a day out of walking. - Location is really good and close to Shrewsbury as well as lots of good walks in the Shropshire Hills. - House is very eco friendly and lots of thought has been given to making the property kind to the environment. - Owners were friendly, welcoming and easy to contact if there were any issues during the stay. - Easily accessible walks directly from the property. - Good takeaway and food options nearby. Lea Cross Tandoori (5m drive) and Little Efes at Minsterley (15m) were both excellent. Cons: - Sofas smelt a little damp - not a huge issue at all, probably a bit of Febreze would sort them out right away. - Parking felt a bit stretched - owners have 2-3 cars on the same drive which made turning around quite tight for a longer car, a small hatch would be easy but I struggled in a saloon. I think the owners said in a previous review they are creating more parking which would resolve the issue.
Hello George, Thank you for your feedback, we are delighted that you had a great stay and we love it when our guests really get around the local area. We take on board your comments, we do clean the sofa and carpets between guests so we will be aware of this for the future. We have also addressed the parking so this now should be resolved .Thank you again for your visit. Many Thanks Sonya & Chris Property Owner

"Chris and Sonya were so welcoming and offered helpful information and places to go."
Nothing was too much trouble. The barn itself was amazing, comfy, cosy and like a home from home. Our stay was so relaxing, we loved seeing the chickens and the hot tub was an added bonus, which we enjoyed both nights. Would highly recommend staying here. Easy check in and out. Will definitely be booking again. Thanks again both
Thanks so much for the feedback. Lovely so know that you enjoyed your stay & our super spoilt chickens! Thankyou for staying with us. Chris n Sonya Property Owner

"This property and the owners are amazing."
We wanted a quiet getaway to relax and enjoy and we got it. The open fire was great, the bed was so comfy and the surroundings peaceful, the hot tub a great bonus too. The fresh eggs from the chickens were also really nice. We went down into the field to see the teddy bear sheep and they were so friendly and cute. The owners were on hand and very quick to respond if we needed anything. Definitely recommend and we will be returning for another visit.
Thanks so much for the great feedback Michael. It was lovely that you both enjoyed it so much. Thankyou for the recommendation. Sonya & Chris Property Owner

"Holiday accommodation was good but no real outside space parking was not very good no cars shown on photos but owners had three cars."
Also owners had three dogs two were lovely but the little sausage dog was quite vicious went for my wife didn’t draw blood but left a nasty bruise
Thankyou for the feedback. I’m sorry that Oska went for you but you did say at the time that he didn’t get you. He’s a rescue dog which is why we warn guests on arrival. The outside are is well highlighted on the Sykes website visually & has never been a problem. The guests are free to roam & enjoy the acres that we have & often do. The car situation isn’t normally a problem, our children were visiting at the same time but we are in the process of having more parking spaces built. This is a surprising feedback as you both told me that you’d had a lovely week chilling & enjoyed the hot tub. We’re sorry that this was not the case. Property Owner

"What a lovely place to stay, the barn itself is stunning with everything you need at hand, the hot tub was an added bonus we used it every evening."
We had intended on having a nice relaxing break and that is exactly what we got. The owners Sonja and Chris are so friendly and welcoming , they went above and beyond to look after us.
Thank you both for your stay. Really lovely to meet you and delighted that you enjoyed your visit. We really appreciate the feedback and hope to see you again soon. All the best Chris and Sonya Property Owner

"What an absolute treat for a Christmas break!"
Lovely cottage and really friendly and helpful hosts. Loved the eco ethos which suited our own sensibilities. Thank you! Lorna and Lisa.

"Lovely hosts and the cottage is in a beautiful location."
Everything you could want on a holiday to be relaxing and cosy. Chris and Sonia are only a text away if you need help with anything or recommend places to go. The cottage itself is well-equipped, with everything you need for your stay. Either relax in the hot tub under the stars or sit infront go the fire and watch a film. If you are wanting a quiet getaway this is for you. Walks from the cottage too are a must, especially to see their Teddy Bear sheep! Would love to go back here and explore the area more as there is so much to do. The Christmas decorations and treats on arrival topped it all off! Loved our stay here, thank you!
Thanks so much for the lovely feedback, our first Christmas guests!! So glad you enjoyed it & Thankyou for your stay. Chris n Sonya Property Owner

"Absolutely lovely, We haven't been away for over 8 years and we were really looking forward to a break."
When we arrived, we were shown around the cottage, and given instructions on how to use appliances in the property and the hot tub. The cottage was immaculate. Cozy and quiet. If theres anything you need at all Sonya & Chris are there to help and give out advice on where to go, they recommended the Nags head for an evening meal which again was lovely, we had some playtime with all there friendly dogs & The Teddy bear sheep stole our hearts. The hot tub the evening is such a lovely touch. We will definitely be back again. Jess & Troy
Thanks so much Jess & Troy. Lovely feedback & thanks for spoiling our dogs. Lovely to meet you both Property Owner

"Lovely, quirky property, friendly owners chris and sonya who were near by to ..."
Lovely, quirky property, friendly owners chris and sonya who were near by to give you advice on where to go etc and really lovely people , very comfy bed and Egyptian cotton bedding , one thing I would put forward as an idea is a draining utensil for the washing up and a few more kitchen utensils eg Cork screw (purchased one left it there) and more baking tins , as we would of loved to baked a cake for Chris and sonya as a way to say thank you for our wonderful stay
Thanks for the lovely feedback Ali, it was lovely to meet you & Patsy. So glad you enjoyed your stay with us . Property Owner

"Had a great time here, hosts were really welcoming and property is so cosy and comfortable had the opportunity to chill and sample the food from the local pub (Nags Head Potesbury) which would recognise anyone visits should try."
Idyllic few days.

"A really enjoyable stay."
The property was excellent. It had everything you’d need. The welcome from Chris and Sonya was very helpful with the basket of fresh milk, eggs and chocolate treats much appreciated. Visited lots of beautiful places in the Shropshire Hills and surrounding area, including Clun Forest, Bishop’s Castle, Ludlow, The Clee Hills, Bridgnorth, Much Wenlock, Church Stretton, Carding Mill Valley and Stiperstones. Less than 15 minutes from Shrewsbury, I found lots of nice places to eat within a short drive. I’d recommend The Walrus and Osteria restaurants in Shrewsbury centre, and The Haughmond in Upton Magna. After a day exploring, the hot tub, situated in a private courtyard, was an amazing evening treat. The owner’s dogs are very friendly. Don’t forget to explore the grounds and go feed the Teddy Bear Sheep their favourite Rich Tea biscuits. I’d highly recommend a stay at Bank House Barn.
Thanks so much Richard, it was lovely to meet you, you definitely made the most of the area. Thankyou for your visit … Sonya & Chris Property Owner

"The most beautiful, romantic & warming weekend away."
We couldn’t have been happier. I couldn’t recommend anywhere else for such a lovely weekend away. Everything was perfected to the finest detail, for example providing us with complimentary fresh milk & bath robes for the jacuzzi. The owners of the property were the most welcoming & caring people, checking up on us during our stay and even providing us with a lift into the town centre & giving us multiple recommendations of what to do during our stay. The location is perfect too. There’s a lovely public bridal path, taking you through fields, for a peaceful walk. While also being only a few miles from Shrewsbury centre.
Thanks so much Chloe, that’s lovely feedback, so glad you both had a lovely stay. Property Owner

"It was an amazing time we had, the people that owned it were very helpful and very friendly, Fresh eggs on arrival, very clean and the barn had been very well kept."

"This was a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life."
It has all the facilities needed to hunker down and enjoy some time together without any stress. The hot tub was great; secluded and quiet, making it great to relax. Make sure you remember to take some rich-tea biscuits when you go for a walk and say hi to the teddy-bear sheep!
Thanks so much Katie & Brian, thanks for feeding the bears & so glad you had a lovely stay. Chris n Sonya Property Owner

Absolutely beautiful place , first time staying there and ticked all boxes required , such a relaxing environment had a great weekend and we've already booked to go again nothing was to much trouble and was made so welcome would highly recommend if you want a chilled weekend after a long week at work just a fantastic place to unwind
Fantastic Iain, so glad you enjoyed it, thanks for returning. Chris n Sonya Property Owner

"Great little place to stay."
Chris was very welcoming and helpful. The Barn was comfortable and clean I'd say the only problem we had was that we couldn't pair up netflix/Disney to the TV...but that could have been for any number of reasons, certainly isn't a deal breaker or a negative. Would definitely reccomend a stay here..would have liked to have stayed an extra night.
Thanks for the lovely feedback Joanne, lovely to meet you both. Chris n Sonya Property Owner

"Not what we were expecting at all very disappointed."
The pictures were deciving there is no privacy at all. No view and couldn't even open the blinds. We booked this for a romantic getaway but felt like we were staying in somebody else's backyard the owner was pleasant but constantly messaged regarding the lights and electric usage in the property. After reading the reviews we thought we had found the perfect place to it was not to our liking at all.
Thankyou for you comments. This property is a sustainable property & we try very hard to keep energy usage to a minimum, as i explained on arrival the barn is completely off grid & runs on solar panels & batteries. I did request that you turn off lights if not in use because the batteries struggle when the weather isn’t great. We also have several notices in the property that kindly request that lights are turned off and this was the reason for my request. We found it frustrating to see all the upstairs lights on, all the downstairs lights & the outside lights on while you were not in the property. We are very committed to harness sustainability. We are sorry that you saw this as a negative. The energy for this property doesn’t cost us anything, but we wouldn’t be able to keep it completely off grid without the help of our guests Property Owner

"Lovely property- perfect for two."
Stayed here for a week and thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet after a hectic Christmas. The log burner was fab as was the hot tub after a day out walking. Lots of places to visit- Addingham Park, Long Mynd and Llangollen. Shrewsbury is nearby and a lovely town to visit - best being the Prison - a must is the guided tour by an ex-Prison Officer with lots of info. Loved the Teddy bear sheep and all the dogs. A very enjoyable week. Thankyou Chris - always available if needed.
Thanks so much sally & keith, so glad you enjoyed your stay, it was lovely to have you stay with us Property Owner

"We stayed at Bank House Barn for 3 nights over the New Year and had a thoroughly enjoyable stay."
The property itself is decorated to a very high standard with all of the home from home comforts you could possibly need. The hot tub and the log burner are a touch of luxury and add to the joy of the stay in this lovely accommodation. The huge en-suite bedroom and bathroom are also luxurious and the bed large and very comfortable. The Hosts are lovely, nothing is too much trouble and they are always at hand, discreetly, if needed. The local shops are a very short drive away, as are the local pubs providing lovely food and wine/drinks. The drive into Shrewsbury is also easy and is where we spent a very happy New Years Eve shopping & celebrating. Taxi's to and from the accommodation are also easily available. We cannot recommend this accommodation highly enough and hope to return in the Summer.
Thanks so much andy & sally. It was a pleasure to meet you & so glad you had a lovely stay Property Owner

"Such a lovely property and our host was very friendly and helpful."
The bed was super comfy and we had great nights sleep every night. The hot tub was massive and so relaxing! It was also in a really central location and easy to explore the local area. We would highly recommend and would gladly stay again.

"Lovely secluded cottage with lots of amenities including the hot tub, the most amazing dogs who took us for walks every day, plus the lovely Teddy Bear sheep."
A very enjoyable and relaxing break, and just a short drive to delightful Shrewsbury.
Thank you so much for the feedback, so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for walking the dogs & looking after the bears!! Property Owner

"Great property where I proposed to my girlfriend, hosts were really nice people, loved the friendly dogs which accompanied us on our walk to see the teddy bear sheep."
-
"Bank House Barn was a good place to stay for touring the local area."
We did lots of walks including the Stiperstones Circular which is not to be missed and had a great day out on the Severn Valley Railway Bridgnorth, which we highly recommend! We got the Freedom tickets and hopped on and off, discovering some lovely towns and villages along the Severn. The local pub was unfortunately not a great place to eat but we did find a lovely authentic Italian restaurant, La Laterna in the Vestry in Shrewsbury which we would highly recommend and a lovely old country pub called the Stable Inn near Minsterley which serves delicious home made food from 5pm. As for Bank House Barn we were a little disappointed. It felt unloved and tired round the edges with a lack of attention to detail. The court yard felt a bit neglected which was a shame as it could be such an asset to the property. We could only assume Bank House Barn is a work in progress. The owners gave us fresh eggs from their chicken. This was a lovely touch.
-
"Had a lovely few days at the Barn."
Chris could not have been more helpful. Hot tub was great and the fresh eggs were much appreciated.surrounding area was beautiful. Would definitely return.
Thanks so much for the lovely feedback, it was lovely to meet you both, Thankyou for staying with us. Sonya & Chris Property Owner

"This is a gem of a property."
The cottage is attractive and very comfortable. After a long days walking on the Shropshire hills it was great to return to the relaxing hot tub and a glass of Prosecco. Chris, the owner was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much bother. The icing on the cake were the lovely family dogs and the four adorable teddy bear sheep. We had such a good stay there we would like to book again later in the year.
Thanks so much Sally, glad you enjoyed it, the bears are super spoilt! Lovely to meet you both. ….chris n sonya Property Owner

"Great stay, sheep were brilliant!"
(Make sure you bring rich tea biscuits to feed them, and ensure Daisy gets her fair share… she was my favourite!) Hot tub was fantastic Great walks and you will be accompanied by the owners 2 dogs! They’re very friendly Good pubs and places to eat If you’re lucky enough to try the blue eggs that the owners chickens lay, you won’t regret it!
-
"We had a wonderful weekend here, really relaxing, an absolutely delightful little retreat, which has everything you need."
We enjoyed a walk around the owner’s property and along the river. We met the gorgeous Ryeland teddy bear sheep and fed them the obligatory rich tea biscuits, which they loved! Several long soaks in the hot tub topped off the weekend for us.
Thanks so much for the feedback & we so glad you enjoyed your stay, thanks for walking the twins & feeding the bears. Property Owner

Host Chris very helpful even giving us a lift into town. Would love to return in the summer. Hot tub was great as well

Hot tub was used twice daily . Chris was an excellent host from pre arrival email to meet & greet along with restaurant recommendations and checking on us throughout our stay . Thank you

"What a Stunning little cottage!"
More than what i expected! Talk about Comfort! We didn't want to leave! Hot Tub was stunning under the canopy! Bed wast the comfiest we've ever slept on, as comfy as the premier inn beds! Perfect for a honeymoon getaway! So Cosy and perfect! Lovley journey up from Pembrokeshire west wales, and will definitely return! Love Rach and Tom xx

"Delightful cottage which was very well presented."
The property owner was extremely helpful and was always willing to make sure our stay was pleasent.
Thankyou Andrew for your lovely feedback and we’re so glad you enjoyed your stay. Unfortunately we’re not able to have a dishwasher because the property is completely off-grid & runs on solar panels & batteries, the hot-tub takes a good chunk of this energy which makes it a choice between a dishwasher and a Thanks again.

"Another memorable stay at Bank House Barn."
Cosy, warm and very comfortable, we made good use of the wood burner and hot tub in the evenings. Chris and Sonya made us welcome and made sure we had everything we could possibly need. The weather was extremely kind to us during our stay so we had days out visiting Shrewsbury, wandering the picturesque streets and visiting the outdoor Market. A great place to eat is CSONS on Milk Street, the food was delicious and the young people who work there were lovely. We enjoyed visiting Tipples just long the road from Bank House Barn. A small business selling locally made spirits, wines, beers etc, plus local cheeses and all manor of delicious treats to tempt everyone who visits. Every morning we would walk along the river bank with the two dogs who live at Bank House. But first we took great delight in giving the four friendly teddy bear sheep a Rich Tea biscuit. Another fabulous stay at Bank House Barn, looking forward to the next time. I highly recommend staying at Bank House Barn, it's a wonderful place. Thank you, Chris and Sonja xx
Thanks Tim & Alison, lovely to see you both again & we’re so glad you enjoyed your stay as much as we both enjoyed having you. Chris n Sonya Property Owner

"What a fantastic little cottage this is, Chris was brilliant and so attentive ..."
What a fantastic little cottage this is, Chris was brilliant and so attentive making sure everything was ok and we were well looked after, clean cosy great location would definitely come back
-
"We had the most amazing time away at Bank house farm, Chris & Sonya was lovely, the dogs were so friendly and wow!"
the Sheep were so cute! We took a five month old and Chris was very accommodating and allowed us to use his washing machine when needed. The hot tub was beautiful and we used it most nights. Only thing we found was the kitchen didn’t have some of the kitchen utensils we needed so we had to go out and buy them. Thank you for a fab week xxxx
-
"The host, Chris couldn’t do enough for us."
He was extremely helpful and sent through lots of links to local places to visit and eat. The barn was lovely and provided a much needed relaxing getaway.
-
"Wow, fantastic place - we loved it and was perfect for our needs: hot tub, large TV, comfy bed, modern kitchen & bathroom & private garden area."
Chris was great and recommended places to visit and eat, he also took us to visit his sheep which were so friendly and loved eating fruit! The dogs were gorgeous and entertaining, especially the Dachshund puppy who I fell in love with. The cottage is a brilliant base for visiting Shrewsbury, castles, ruins & the Shrewsbury Hills. I definitely recommend staying here and we hope to be back at some point too.
-
"Wonderful facilities, hosts and everything you could need."
Chris and Sonia went above and beyond to ensure we were very well looked after. Wonderful walk on their land with the dogs and 4 sheep! All recommendations were spot on. Not only provided a hairdryer but straighteners and shower caps too. Better than many 5 star hotels we have stayed in, thank you.
-
"Really nice stay at Bank house barn, welcomed by Chris who was really easy to talk to and very informative."
Nothing was too much trouble. Shrewsbury is a lovely place.
-
"Chris and Sonia were great, very friendly and helpful."
The property was clean and comfortable, there were just a few minor ‘nice touches’ that were missing: - complimentary toiletries in the bathroom - the price we paid was comparable with a boutique hotel where toiletries would have been provided. That said I appreciate that Covid guidelines may have prevented the provision of toiletries and luckily we brought our own anyway. So just an observation rather than a complaint. - The shower was very chintzy but not overly practical for ladies with long hair that does not need to be washed every day. It was difficult to shower effectively without hair getting wet. A separate shower wand which could be used instead of the overhead shower would be useful. Failing that, the provision of disposable shower caps would be a nice touch. Again just an idea, I managed for the few days I was there. -The bathroom bin did not have a bag/liner in it which I found strange and not overly hygienic so I put my own in.
-
"Really lovely property."
All very modern with comfortable furniture and spotlessly clean everywhere. The hot tub was brilliant (even in the rain !) Chris and Sonya were very welcoming and helpful with local places to visit and restaurant recommendations. Shrewsbury with all its amenities is close by as well as lots of great walks and National Trust places to visit. Highly recommend a stay here
-
"We have just had 7 days at this wonderful little cottage, the sun shone down on us the whole time which is always a bonus."
From start to finish it was a lovely experience, Chris and Sonya were very helpful from giving ideas of where to visit to even getting us switched on with new technology. The cottage has absolutely everything you need, the area is great, Shrewsbury gave more than we ever expected. The dogs and sheep were an added bonus. Definitely recommend to anyone wanting either a few days away or longer, the hot tub was just what we needed at the end of a full day. Cannot praise this place enough.
-
"Lovely place everything we needed and it was spotless it was in a quiet secluded place whilst being only being 10 minutes from the town We loved Quarry park with river running alongside plenty to do and see in the town centre with lots of pubs and restaurants."
Also Chris the owner was more than helpful and very friendly telling us all the best places to eat out,also their two dogs were so funny and friendly and entertained us.Would highly recommend this place.
-
"AMAZING from the day we got there to the day we left we were made to feel very welcomed."
Chris and Sonia have a lovely cosy, comfortable accommodation that has everything you need with the added bonus of the animals, chickens, dogs and teddy bear sheep. Hot tub was a bonus wether you went in day or night, lovely and warm. Lovely area to be in, not far from visiting different towns, Shrewsbury, iron ridge, Ludlow.
-
"A great 7 days stay at this cottage."
Had everything you needed in the cottage, local shop 5 minutes drive, or the retail park 10 minutes away so anything you need is close by. The town of Shrewsbury was close by also so you get the countryside feel but also being close to Town benefits. Chris was never fair away for any assistance or advice on where to visit and eat. There 3 dogs are great fun, and there teddy bear sheep are friendly and photo happy!! The cottage was comfortable and really has an at home feel. If you are looking at a place to stay look no further. 5*
-
"Highly recommend staying in this lovely barn conversion with hot tub in a private courtyard."
Our host Chris met us on arrival and despite sending us detailed directions the day before, we still managed to miss the turning for the property which is well hidden from the road! Chris telephoned us and guided us to the property and gave us a full tour of the property. We were greeted with the log fire burning and warm baguette, milk and tea/coffee left for us. The property is well appointed with everything you need in the kitchen if fully self catering. Exceptionally clean, lovely furnishings and a great location. Chris was extremely helpful and nothing too much trouble to make our stay one to remember. We really enjoyed our stay and would certainly return here again if in the area.
-
"Bank house barn is fantastic !"
Everything you need and more for a really comfortable stay, me and my wife stayed for 3 nights and could of done with a lot more. The property was very clean and modern and a nice hot tub aswel. The barn is located a 5 min drive outside Shrewsbury. You are met on arrival by the property owner Chris and given the guided tour and explained how everything works then left to it, if you ever needed anything Chris was only a phone call or txt message away. Would definitely stay again

"The Bank House Barn is a superb place to stay."
There are not many holiday cottages where you can stay totally off the grid but holiday in complete comfort. The barn is extensive in size for two people and we felt totally relaxed, especially enjoying the twice daily dips in the hot tub! You have totally privacy but the owners are next door and Chris responded instantly to queries and offers of help with insider knowledge of the local area. We particularly enjoyed our daily walks along the private riverside with Archie, Bruce and the very friendly teddy bear sheep. The local area is great for walking, visiting the historical towns and villages which are all located within thirty minutes drive. Thanks to Chris for being a wonderful host.

"Recently returned from a week at Bank House Barn."
Everything was delightful, even the beautiful weather. The barn was quirky, comfortable, warm and cozy, and equipped with everything you need. The property owners were so helpful and friendly, ensuring that we enjoyed our stay, even allowing us to jog along the bank of the river which runs through their land. We very quickly made friends with their dogs, sheep and hens. We visited Ludlow, Shrewsbury, where we took a boat trip along the River Severn, and Ironbridge. We enjoyed walking in Rectory Wood at Church Stretton. The hot tub was a great way to relax after all our activities. We had the most enjoyable experience. Would we stay again? We have booked to return in November.

"A truly fantastic place to stay in a beautiful location."
Exceptional comfort and an all-round fantastic cottage to relax with everything you could ever need for a restful break away. The owners go above and beyond to make your stay as comfortable as possible (baking bread on arrival, lighting your wood burner, providing walking routes) - a stay that is highly recommended.

"My girlfriend and I spent 4 lovely nights here."
The moment you enter the property it felt comfortable and cosy. The private Hot tub is conveniently placed outside the front door, once finished you can walk straight into the living room In front of the wood burning fire which heats the room quickly once lit. The kitchen had all essential appliances, we managed to cook a full roast dinner without missing anything. The bed was extremely comfortable. The owners were very accommodating. Chris was only a phone call away if anything was needed but left us to the privacy of our own space. The grounds of the house is great for a pre dinner walk along the river and saying hello to the friendly sheep. We would definitely stay again.

"We have recently enjoyed a weekend away at Bank House Barn."
On arrival we were greeted by Chris the owner who showed us around. He had been kind enough to get the log burner going for our arrival. The property was very clean and well equipped. We particularly enjoyed the hot tub and log burner. The property is very cosy and perfect for couples. We enjoyed a local walk in Church Stretton. Walking along the National Trust route on the Long Mynd. If it wasn’t for COVID we would have been visiting Shrewsbury as it’s only a short drive away. Overall a brilliant little property in a great location for visiting Shrewsbury. The built in sound system was a nice touch to the cottage. We would highly recommend!

"We stayed here as a couple wanting a relaxing, get away from it all weekend, we couldn’t have asked for more."
Firstly the location of the Cottage was perfect, it’s set in the grounds of the owners home and offers a multitude of walks from right outside your door, and much to our feet,IG hot we had the privilege of walking with sheep! Within a short driving distance is probably our most favourite Market Town, Shrewsbury with its amazing indoor Market and an abundance of independent shops and eateries. Closer to home there are quite a few pretty villages with pubs too, but during COVID restrictions, recommend booking. Most importantly the Cottage itself was beautifully appointed, modern, contemporary, and cleaned to a very high standard, it has all you’d need for a cosy night in. Every convenience to prepare a meal, a very nice coffee maker and wine fridge. It made for a perfect evening snuggled up next to the log burner, watching the smart TV or listening to the blue tooth music system. Alternatively, it’s a couple of steps from the door into the bubbling hot tub, completely private and set in a very prettily decorated outdoor area with an overhead pergola and lights, perfect even on a cold winter night, we relaxed in it to our hearts content. The host was exceptionally welcoming, the Cottage festively decorated, there was a delicious welcome pack, the bread was still warm and delicious! and the fire was lit. He was on hand with very helpful advice of local area, and for any queries we had, nothing was too much trouble. For us it was a 10/10 experience and if we are planning to return, it will be the first place we look for availability.
