  The owners were friendly, welcoming and cheery - clearly very nice people.

  The property was clean and well equipped. There was parking outside the gates of the property. The reason for my low score is that I don't think the information about this property is strictly true. Downstairs was a very small kitchen space, so small that the table and one chair were under the stairs (don't stand up too quickly!). The table could be pulled out into the kitchen area if two people needed to use it (I stayed there on my own) I suppose. However, that would have meant placing the table directly outside the bathroom (with toilet) door. I have to be honest and say that I would not have booked if I had known there was just a single door separating the kitchen and toilet. Upstairs was as described, with a spacious living room and bedroom. However, the living room room is over part of the property that is not let but is used as a home office (the large glass door / window in the picture). I booked the property to visit certain places in the area, but also to spend some time just relaxing, studying and reading. Unfortunately, noise from the office below rather spoiled this. It is not that the person was particularly noisy but I was able to hear movement, doors slamming and phone calls. It was more like staying in a poorly insulated flat. I appreciate the property belongs to the owners and they can use it and let it as they want to but I feel potential holiday renters should be made aware that they will be staying above an office. Had there not been the issues listed above, I would not have mentioned the other noise issue, but other holidaymakers do need to be aware. The owners have two gorgeous, friendly dogs (I am a dog owner). On one evening, the dogs were, I can only assume, left home alone, which is the right of the owners to do, of course. However, from Foxholes Barn (living room, kitchen and bedroom) I could clearly hear the dogs barking frequently all evening until after 11.15pm. I feel disappointed that this property, in my opinion, was not described accurately and would be reluctant to trust the information provided by Sykes again.

  We returned today, having the the pleasure of staying in Foxeholes Barn Shropshire, and I must say it was a delightful experience from start to finish.

  The hosts of the accommodation were nothing short of excellent. Their warm hospitality and attention to detail made me feel welcome and at home throughout my stay. They were always ready to assist with any inquiries and went above and beyond to ensure my comfort. Clare cooked us a fantastic meal for our first night. It was amazing. The location of the accommodation was truly enchanting. Nestled in the heart of Shropshire, surrounded by picturesque countryside, it provided a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The breathtaking views and serene atmosphere added an extra layer of relaxation to my stay, making it a perfect retreat. Speaking of the countryside, the natural beauty of Shropshire is simply unparalleled. The rolling hills, meandering rivers, and charming villages create a postcard-worthy setting. Exploring the local countryside was a highlight of my trip, and I appreciated the easy access from the accommodation to the scenic landscapes. Overall, my stay in Foxeholes Barn was a memorable and rejuvenating experience. The combination of excellent hosts, a idyllic location, and stunning countryside made it a perfect getaway. I would highly recommend Shropshire to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat with a touch of charm and hospitality.

  This was a beautiful accommodation in an equally lovely location.

  The spec was all to a very high standard, the kitchen equipment was superb - nothing second class or shoddy about items supplied. The welcome pack was most appreciated. The whole accommodation was beautiful and to a very high standard, bed was really comfortable. We chose this accommodation for the fact it had an undercover hot tub area as very few holiday lets provide this (most definitely an asset with the UK weather) and it lived up to all our expectations and more, the outside fridge was also an asset and an absolute deal breaker, it was so helpful in having extra space to store our food/drinks etc. Waking up to the cows, sheep and birds was so lovely and relaxing. The only suggestion I would make is that it would have been nice to have some ice made up as ice tray was empty (a very small thing) and some flash/power cleaner to help me clean at the end of stay) apart from that all fabulous - could not recommend highly enough. We met the owner on our last day when leaving so certainly not an intrusive lady lady :) Excellent all round. In relation to trips, Ludlow castle great and markets superb.

  Absolutely stunning accommodation and location.

  The property was exceptional, you could tell from the start great care and thought has been put into all the little details. And no corner was cut to make the stay completely blissful. Everything was finished to a high standard. Our elderly, but escape professional beagle walked the perimeter of the garden several times and couldn’t escape so we could relax and enjoy the sensational views. I can’t recommend this venue or location enough for dog owners that still want luxury. The hot tub was wonderful. The bbq had everything you needed. The kitchen was better equipped then ours at home. And the bedding smelt incredible!! The photos don’t do this place justice. Thank you Anne for all your advise too picking where to take our pooch. We will be back. Highly recommend heading to Ludlow, the castle is dog friendly and only £8. And there is also Mortimer forest which has lots of amazing walks and is under shade. There is also the amazing Ludlow farm shop which has a great dog friendly cafe and pub. Across from the shop is an estate that is a great walk too.

  One of the greats!

  Been going away for my Birthday weekend for the last 11 years to a different spot in the countryside and Foxholes Barn in the Shropshire Hills will go down as one of the best weekends ever. Clare and Chris were just incredible hosts and their recommendations of where to eat made the break so much easier, as they were superb places. They also offered us before we arrived, the choice of a meal, which we took up and it was absolutely delicious. Foxholes Barn was warm, had everything we need to cook for ourselves, which we did for 2 of the nights, and was just a stress-free experience all round. We did three walks during our break, all with good hills and stunning views. I thought this was great value and I'd highly recommend!
