Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the cottage to be clean and tidy, with only a few mentioning issues with cleanliness such as a dirty carpet or scum in the hot tub. The majority of reviews, however, reflect a high standard of cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its beautiful setting, proximity to local pubs, and accessibility to walking trails. It serves as a great base to explore Shropshire, contributing to its high score.
The cottage is generally considered comfortable, with several reviews mentioning cosy beds and a warm atmosphere. However, there were some concerns about the comfort of the beds and seating, which slightly lowers the score.
Facilities like the hot tub are frequently highlighted as positives, but some guests reported maintenance issues such as flickering lights, broken taps, and unreliable hot water. The presence of a hot tub is consistently appreciated, but the maintenance issues affect the score.
While some guests mentioned welcome gifts and appreciated the host's attentiveness, there is not enough consistent information across the reviews to accurately score thoughtfulness. As such, the score is set to null, and guests should note that such gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.

With Christmas decorations and trees put up for our stay. As well as welcome gifts. Very appreciated. Living rooms comfortable and kitchen nice. Hot tub was lovely (Cover very heavy to take off and difficult to put back on as there isnât much room round the side to do it). The hot tub is checked every day for chemicals etc. Which is fab. Nice pub not far for a nice meal. House lovely and warm. (Bad points: *Bedroom downstairs has dirty carpet unfortunately. Not nice at all. *Shower would not get warm. Hot water doesnât work so couldnât have a bath. Water would get luke warm, Then occasionally get roasting hot for a couple of seconds then go lukewarm at best again. *No drawers or anything at all in bedrooms. Apart from the downstairs befroom. There is room to put some sort of drawers on the sides of bedroom or even outside the bedroom upstairs. *The WiFi is not great. *The TV signal is not good and watching TV Christmas Day was disappointing as the picture kept scrambling). *TV remotes are awkward to use as you have to swap signal from one to another. There are instructions but it takes a while to do). *Bathrooms could do with a makeover.

Ideal for a short break and extremely dog-friendly: good value for money. Our autistic son (22) loved the hot tub, reliable wi-fi and comfy beds! Second visit in three years and everything remained at the same high standard.

Unfortunately we could clearly smell the dogs of previous occupants and barking dogs at No 2 disturbed us - the occupants at No1 had to curtail their stay because of this and were VERY unhappy. Directions to the Old Barn were poor - we were walking from Church Stretton train station and getting there was stressful although we got to know the buses. Also we couldn't work out how to use the microwave. Old Barn is very much for car owners. However the Long Mynd and surrounding area was spectacular.
