Well equipped barn conversion with a luxury feel. High quality spec throughout. Loved the bath. Perfect for a romantic getaway. We visited in the winter and although cold when we arrived it soon warmed up and was cosy and very comfortable for the duration of our stay. The Log fire makes it feel very homely. Easy to visit Ludlow, Bridgnorth and Ironbridge from this base. We throughly enjoyed our days out with plenty to see and do in the nearby towns. No TV but plenty of good films to watch via Apple on a large B&O screen, or simply take a good book. The owner was pleasant and on hand if you need anything sorting. Neighbours were also lovely. We walked our dog daily across the nearby fields. The Ludlow Farm Shop is well worth a visit. We cooked most evenings and enjoyed locally reared bacon, lamb and eggs for dinner and breakfast. Not to mention local cheeses, butter and milk. Plenty of good bakeries for bread, cakes and Shrewsbury biscuits! Highly recommended. I would stay there again.

The property is all about 1 room living, but is well equipped, and the owners were very welcoming and helpful. There are miles of cycling on your doorstep, but watch out for those lung busting hills. Three ducks and a chicken rule the place, so keep everything tidy as the chicken stops every morning to have a look through the patio door windows and check everything is in order. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay
