About this property
Dog-Friendly Shropshire Hills Retreat - Sleeps 4
Rockhill Farm Hay Barn offers a charming escape to the heart of the Shropshire Hills National Landscape, just 1.5 miles from the historic town of Clun. This delightful cottage, sleeping four, is a perfect haven for adults, families, or small groups seeking relaxation and adventure, with their beloved canine companions warmly welcomed.
Designed for comfort and relaxation, the beautifully appointed Hay Barn features a welcoming open-plan living area. Unwind on the plush sofa, enjoy a movie night on the Smart TV, or gather around the dining table for laughter and good food. The fully equipped kitchen inspires culinary creativity, making meal preparation a joy. If outdoor eating takes your fancy, savour al fresco meals on the furnished patio and BBQ.
The Shropshire countryside beckons you from the doorstep. A large, dog-friendly 4-acre field offers ample space for walks and playtime, with a bench perfectly positioned to admire the stunning views and a fire pit for cozy evenings under the stars.
After a day of exploring, freshen up in the modern shower room with its spacious walk-in shower, and then sink into the comfort of the well-appointed bedrooms – one with a luxurious king-size bed, the other with a delightful double, promising a restful night's sleep.
A.E. Houseman's poem, A Shropshire Lad, defined Clun as 'the quietest place under the sun', and with its dramatic ruin of a Norman castle, Saxon church, the bustling river which flows under the 14th century pack horse bridge, and a country inn, Clun is a rural gem situated in the South Shropshire Hills. It lies on the Shropshire Way in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty close to the border of Wales, an area known as The Marches. This unspoilt part of Britain has an abundance of wildlife and beautiful unhindered walking and cycling routes winding their way through the countryside with the Clun and Kerry Forests, Offa's Dyke, and Kerry Ridgeway all close by. There are a wide range of festivals and shows on offer in the surrounding area throughout the year, including The Green Man festival in May. From Clun, you can also enjoy exploring the historic towns of Bishop's Castle, Presteigne, Ludlow, Shrewsbury, and Hereford, a must for visitors.

Sophie
The location strikes just the right balance â remote and rural, but still close to convenience. The barn itself is stunning and is equipped with everything you could need for a comfortable stay for two or four people. Each bedroom has ample storage with plenty of hanging space, which was ideal for bulky winter layers in February. The secure outdoor paddock offered us a safe space to exercise Albie, which was a major plus for the property and a very rare find. There are beautiful walks right from the doorstep with a great selection of routes close-by. We walked one day for four hours without meeting a single person. Just what we needed! It's the perfect place to unwind, recharge and enjoy some down time. We loved our stay and would love to return in the future. Thank you for a fantastic and much needed break!

The cottage was really comfortable and well equipped. Everything felt fresh and done to a high standard and things like the fire pit and bbq were nice touches. The cottage is near to the lovely village of Clun and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. Vaughan was welcoming and helpful and Iâm sure weâll be back. Thanks for a great stay!

It was great to have our family from the USA. accommodated in the Wain House, beautifully appointed with all you could need, while we had the Farmhouse. Makes a great location for an extended family holiday break.
