The cottage is frequently described as comfortable, cosy, and warm, with a snug atmosphere. However, a few guests mention uncomfortable furniture, which slightly impacts the overall comfort score.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with the property being well-equipped and thoughtfully furnished. Some maintenance issues, such as low shower pressure and poor outdoor furniture quality, are mentioned.

About this property
A charming, 18th century detached barn conversion, featuring a wealth of oak beams, trusses and wall timbers. The property has a light and airy yet cosy atmosphere, offering all modern facilities. Perfect for a romantic break for two.
The small village of Billingsley is surrounded by beautiful Shropshire countryside and is just seven miles from Bridgnorth. In addition to lots of walking and cycling facilities, the region boasts a wealth of country parks, great houses, museums and picturesque villages. Visitors can enjoy a trip to the nearby town of Bridgnorth - winner of âBritain in Bloom' - which is composed of the High Town and the Low Town connected by winding streets and flights of steps. The town's Saturday street market provides an excellent chance to explore the impressive castle ruins or to take a ride on the funicular railway. This passes what Charles I called 'the finest view in all my kingdom'. With easy access to The Royal Air Force Museum, Ironbridge Gorge, and the towns of Shrewsbury and Ludlow, this is an ideal base for an enjoyable break.

I was pleased to discover that new tarmac has been laid to just beyond the entrance to the farm/stables/holiday properties, that you could play snooker on. The final approach of a hundred yards or so is not metalled, but not uncomfortable at a slow, sensible speed. Our week there, was warm, comfortable, and irritation free. (I doubt Donald Trump has a bigger radiator in his, bathroom.)
