The Barn in Shropshire is a well-received holiday rental, praised for its spaciousness, cleanliness, and beautiful location. Guests have enjoyed the property's large garden, well-equipped kitchen, and the thoughtful touches from the hosts, such as homemade cakes and fizz. While some minor issues with facilities and maintenance were mentioned, the overall experience has been overwhelmingly positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Most guests found The Barn to be spotlessly clean, contributing to a comfortable and enjoyable stay. However, a few guests noted areas where cleanliness could be improved, such as dust under rugs and kitchenware that needed additional cleaning.

The Barn's location is frequently described as fabulous, with beautiful walks and countryside views. Its peaceful setting near Ellesmere and proximity to local attractions add to its charm, making it an ideal spot for a tranquil getaway.

Guests have found The Barn to be comfortable and spacious, suitable for large groups and family gatherings. The property's layout with multiple wings and en suite bathrooms has been appreciated, although some guests suggested improvements in mattress quality and additional shower facilities.

The Barn is well-equipped for large groups, with a huge kitchen and ample space for dining and leisure. Some guests mentioned the need for better drying facilities, more cooking utensils, and updates to some of the kitchen equipment. The presence of games and outdoor space was a plus.

The hosts of The Barn have been commended for their thoughtful gestures, such as providing cakes, fizz, and duck food for guests. These personal touches have enhanced the overall experience, although it is noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be a standard offering for all stays.

    The kids loved playing in the huge garden and feeding the ducks by the pond. Lots of space in and around the house. Well resourced kitchen. Short drive to the nearest village, where there’s a basic shop and pub with games facilities, pool, darts, game machine. The Mere was a beautiful walk along the lake with a pit stop at the Boathouse pub for some beautiful food. Visited West Midlands safari park- 1.5 hour drive but well worth a visit. Definitely recommend. Could do with a bit of TLC and upgrade of mattresses and towels but otherwise comfortable and enjoyable stay.

    Thank you very much indeed. Spacious and clean accommodation. The kitchen diner was fabulous with all the equipment required to feed a family of 12. Location fabulous with beautiful walks and countryside views. We enjoyed our stay and would return.

  • Sarah

    10 women on a 40th get together and can say we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Lovely space to all spend time together without being on top of one another. Nice surprise having fresh cakes and fizz on arrival. Thanks again we all made great memories together.
