We spent a very enjoyable week at Home Farm Barn. Our hosts were very welcoming. The cottage was well equipped and spotless. It was a home from home.

Excellent, clean, well equipped and spacious property with very responsive and helpful owners. Lots of very good walking and safe cycling within close proximity. Nags Head which was less than a 5 min walk served good beer and food,

We received a lovely welcome from the owners of Home Farm Barn and appreciated their generosity in the fresh milk and food items kindly left for our arrival. The cottage was spotlessly clean and was well equipped. There was a village store and butchers within easy walking distance to the village with a pub/restaurant serving good meals only half the distance from the village. We spent a comfortable and enjoyable week at the cottage, despite the mixed weather. The road through the village is the gateway to the lovely Shropshire Hills area where those with a love for either walking or nature will be in their element.
