  Found it a bit too small for four people.

  Sofa was uncomfortable, could do with more mugs, a blind in the dressing area and a decent curtain at the tall window in the twin bedroom would have been better. Also the bathroom window with clear not opaque glass offers no privacy meaning you have to always have the blind down. Felt a bit overlooked when in the hot tub by the row of houses across the field and there only seemed to be one powerful jet working in the tub. No storage in main bedroom- there were shelf type bedside stands, perhaps ones with drawers would be better to offer some storage? Beds were comfortable, shower always hot and powerful, good secure garden for dogs, cottage was clean, good location, not far from church stretton, Shrewsbury, Ludlow, much wenlock, attingham park, Ironbridge . Nice enough for a few days but felt quite basic and we didn’t feel we received the welcoming touch that we have from other cottages in the past- even a small bottle of milk in the fridge for a cup of tea on arrival goes a long way. Didn’t see the host the whole time we were there, only spoke via text before our arrival.

  Stunning location and friendly enough owner.

  Accommodation suitable for two adults and young children. Have to say though the sofa is very uncomfortable to sit on and didn't want to sit on dining room chairs all night either. Disappointed that there was no dvd player, (we brought our own but couldn't play them!) No games or books at the property, which we regretted not bring our own. Hot tub was nice. Lacking in furniture in the main bedroom, it is a very small room but bedside tables with some drawers would be helpful. The most complicated of ovens to use and would have been good to be shown where the instructions were together with the limited property info details... we had to go routing for it. This all being said the location of the property is stunning and such lovely places to walk, just bring your own map as there aren't any at the property. Would recommend but some improvements for renters could be easily made to give it 5*

  Spent a lovely week at Old Hall Barn 1.

  Simple furnishings but plenty of space for a family of 4 (inc 2 teenagers). Kitchen well equipped and a lovely power shower. Hot tub was excellent. Large garden which was very secure for our very inquisitive cocker spaniel. The owner Richard was friendly but let you to get on with your holiday. The toaster packed in but Richard replaced it with a brand new one within 2 hours. Surrounding area is beautiful and ideal for walking. Did the short Rectory Walk and went to Carding Mill Valley Park - stunning landscape and walks suitable for all ages. Visited the nearby Yew Tree for drinks and food which was reasonable and welcoming. Just a couple of minor suggestions for the accommodation - a curtain/blind in the twin room's dressing area for privacy and some softer lighting (eg lamps) in the lounge area would have been appreciated. However we loved our stay and would definitely book again.

  We had a great stay at the old hall barn 2.

  The bath is well equipped with everything you need, the bath is a lot bigger than expected, with lovely homeley touches. The hot tub is just an added bonus. Garden great for the dogs, there is a back gate which is a bit stiff which could do with improving when coming in that way with the dogs after walking. We spent a lot of time at the lovely local pub, beautiful walks are literally on the door step, amazing scenery. We were a little surprised that the dogs were not allowed in the living room or bedrooms, so we spent all our time when together in the one main room. When there are more than two of you it would be nice to have another chair to sit on rather than just the dining chairs. Nevertheless we had a lovely time and the beds were very comfy. There is a washing machine and the owner provides an airer, and a washing line outside.

  The cottage is lovely, comfortable and well-equipped.

  My dogs were very happy in the enclosed garden. Lovely views from the hot tub! The owners were friendly and helpful without being intrusive. There was plenty of wildlife to watch from the garden - my mum even saw a heron close-up, that came down to the stream at the bottom of the garden. There are a lot of walks nearby, with Long Mynd and Carding Mill Valley virtually on the doorstep. Church Stretton is about a 15 minute walk (or a quick drive) away - a pretty little town. The golf course also welcomes walkers and dogs (on leads, there are sheep everywhere) and you can get a coffee there when the clubhouse is open. We had a nice lunch in the beer garden of the pub in Little Stretton, which also allows dogs. I would highly recommend this as a place to stay if you like walking, or just want to sit and relax.
