Friends & Family Birthday Celebration
We stayed here for my husbands 'big' birthday. Wonderful location and beautiful barn. The pooches didnt want to leave! Perfect for coming together with loved ones. Fabulous walks and perfect for chilling on the decking listening to birds and watching wildlife. Barn is well equipped, spacious, lovely fireplace and host very welcoming and helpful.

Beautiful secluded getaway
Matt’s house is stunning. It is fitted out to a very high standard with beautiful decor. The huge garden sweeping dow to its own stream was a dream for our kids and dogs. Matt had great communication with us throughout and was very accommodating. We would definitely visit again.

Amazing accommodation in a serene location
We booked the accommodation as two families for a long weekend away. The barn is a great find and the land surrounding is beautiful with a small stream at the bottom of the dog secure garden. There was so much room in the modern barn for us all to enjoy spending time together, which is good as storm Barbet made some of roads impassable (this was the most rain seen for many years in the area). Having the space meant even though we couldn’t get out for the day, our time was still enjoyable. Matt the host was great and made sure everything was easy. We will return in the future, hopefully when the rain has stopped!!

Perfect for a multigenerational family holiday. Plenty of space for the children to play, indoors and out. Really close to footpaths to enjoy the magnificent countryside. Relaxing on the patio with a glass of wine, just sheep and tranquillity.

Lovely weekend away - despite the rain!
We had a long weekend here in July. Who would have thought the English weather would be constant rain!! But not to fear, the property couldn’t have been better! So much space for the kids to run around in, playing hide and seek or “tag”! Although we didn’t have anyone in our party with mobility needs, I loved that this property catered to this without ruining the feel of the home. The garden is stunning. Wish we could have chilled out there more… or had a bbq. Next time! It really feels like you’re in the middle of nowhere which is great. But be prepared to travel for food etc. Matt the host couldn’t have been more helpful . Even letting us have a late checkout - and was lovely . Hoping to come back for better quality weather!

Great holiday
This is our 4th visit to the barn and we plan to return in the autumn. Extremely comfortable property with excellent facilities. This year the weather has been particularly good so we appreciated the lovely new rattan furniture allowing us to sit out in comfort on the decking surrounded by the beautiful scenery. We did some great walks from the property.

Little slice of heaven
If you are looking to get away from it all and want to spend time outdoors sampling nature in the peace and quiet then this is the place to go. The cottage is immaculate and is not only suited to the able bodied but can also accommodate wheelchair uses/not so able bodied with the wider doors in the property and the subtle aids in the wee rooms. It is the only cottage we have stayed in who offer these facilities so a big shout out to Matt the owner for doing this. The surroundings are idyllic, fields on either side. One did have sheep in which we were a little concerned with our 2 German Shepherds but nothing was too much trouble for Matt, he offered to move the sheep into a different field, as it happened it wasn’t a problem with our dogs and they all seemed to live happily together. The cottage has everything in it which you will need, doors opening out to a lovely decking area and a garden which is fully enclosed (part lawned/part woodland) perfect for the dogs to go exploring safely. Walks on the doorstep with glorious views. Definitely worth a visit. We don’t often go back to same place but would be happy to make an exception with this property.

Excellent Property and Location
We had an excellent stay in this isolated but very well equipped and comfortable property. We enjoyed walking from the door into beautiful countryside, as well as a trips out to visit and walk around Stokesay Castle and The Stiperstones. Matt went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly, and provides lots of information in the house to help with planning walks etc. Beautiful, natural garden, which our dog loved as well. Highly recommended.

Thank you for such a great weekend. The accommodation layout was perfect for a weekend away with friends. Great woodland walks on the doorstep and not far from Long Mynd & Carding Mill for beautiful walks. Sunday was a wet day so after a morning walk we lit to fire and chilled! perfect! Matt was super friendly & helpful thank you would highly recommend.

Fantastic family weekend!!
A wonderful family weekend celebrating a special birthday. The property was in a beautiful location, very well appointed and spotlessly clean. We enjoyed it so much we all wanted to stay longer (or forever!!) 😂 Matt and Glen were wonderful hosts and were available and easily contactable and nothing was too much trouble. We would recommend this lovely accommodation to anyone as it suits everyone’s needs. We will definitely return in the future. Thank you for a lovely stay.

A great long weekend for all three generations. Little ones could run around inside and out all on the same level. The older ones could walk, and walk, and walk, in the great countryside. Castle ruins close by. Pubs and shops close too (by car). Hightly recommend this lodge.

A lovely relaxing home from home
We loved the barn conversion and the privacy we were able to enjoy being "off the beaten track". The location worked well as it was easy driving distance to lots of interesting places. Matt was very welcoming and helpful. The thought he'd put into making the property fully accessible was impressive and he even brought round some extras to suit our specific needs. Those details made all the difference and meant that every one of us was able to fully enjoy the break. The welcome pack was an added bonus; being able to make a cuppa before going out shopping was great.
