The Timber Barn is highly praised for its idyllic location, cleanliness, and comfort. Guests appreciate the peaceful surroundings, beautiful landscapes, and the thoughtful welcome hamper. Some minor issues were noted, but overall, the property is recommended for its charm and amenities.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently report the property as spotless and tidy, with only a single mention of an unclean barbecue and bird droppings at the entrance, which appear to be isolated incidents.
The location is described as beautiful, peaceful, and ideal for visiting local attractions. However, one guest mentioned difficulty with the road leading to the property.
The property is frequently described as comfortable and cosy, especially during cold weather. A few guests noted a heavy duvet for summer and noises in the attic as minor discomforts.
The property is well-equipped, with a few suggestions for additional kitchen bowls and music-playing facilities. The lack of a washing machine/dryer for longer stays and a non-dog-proof fence were noted.
The welcome hamper and additional touches are well-received, contributing to the property's charm. It should be noted that such gifts, while appreciated, may vary and are not guaranteed.
About this property
The Timber Barn is a charming, renovated barn conversion within a group of three separate properties in a pretty, rural spot on the Downton Estate.
The Timber Barn is a beautiful barn conversion, renovated to offer a superior level of comfort. The owners have been careful to ensure that the property has retained its original rural charm and character, while taking advantage of its setting to ensure guests have wonderful views of the picturesque landscape all around. The garden looks out across rolling countryside where walkers enjoy this breath-taking scenery. One of the delights of staying here is the fact that an award-winning restaurant is literally just a two-minute walk from the front door.
The open-plan living area has some superb views of the rolling landscapes of the Downton Estate, which extends to nearly 5,000 acres along the Herefordshire and Shropshire borders. There are plenty of footpaths through the woods and the area is famed for the beautiful Shropshire Hills. You’re also within easy reach of Ludlow, a thriving medieval market town with a beautiful and historic castle perched on a cliff overlooking the River Teme.
Also available to book at this beautiful location are: The Stone Barn and The Cart Shed. Perfect as a group booking for a special celebration or gathering. Just a mile away and still on the estate is the lovely Wassell Barn; a fabulous barn conversion sleeping six guests.
Additional Information:
Two well-behaved dogs welcome (small additional charge). Please note the garden is not completely dog proof as seen by the images.
Sorry, no children. Babies under 6 months welcome, please bring your own travel cot and high chair.
Walkers and farm workers wander by the garden occasionally.
Within two minutes walking distance to an award winning restaurant.

Loved the Timber Barn. It provided most of the things we look for on a Rural Retreats Holiday. We would like to return.
