Leonie

Great location, great views and a great local pub just a short walk from the barn.

Danielle

We had an absolutely fabulous time at Old Hall Barn 2 everything was perfect from the moment we arrived to when we left. The accommodation itself was beautiful, comfortable, clean and in a very peaceful and beautiful setting. The hot tub was wonderful, with lovely views and ideal after a long day of walking. The enclosed garden and shared garden are brilliant for dogs. The location is fantastic so many lovely walks on the doorstep as well as further afield if you want to venture out by car. The village is only a 20 min walk and is so friendly, with some lovely pubs and restaurants that welcome dogs. There is also a brilliant local pub doing great food just 2 minutes walk from the Barn. We would highly recommend and can't wait to return

Fab house Lovely hot tub Views awesome & lots of things to see & walk

Elizabeth

Lovely property in great location. Absolutely lovely owners who are 'hands on' and very helpful. Delicious cake awaiting our arrival. I would have liked a bit more equipment in the kitchen as I cook for the family even on holiday but I know I'm unusual in that! Very comfortable beds and sofas and lovely hot tub. Really hoping to make it back soon.

Josephine

This was a perfect place to stay. We had a great family holiday. Many thanks, Josie

Harriet

We stayed here with our toddler, our dogs and some friends and overall we really enjoyed our stay. The garden is very secure for dogs and toddlers, and we spent most of the time out there! It's easy to walk into Church Stretton and there are some lovely walks around. We did notice a few cleanliness issues such as lolly sticks peering out from under the sofa and a few hairs on pillows before we had used the beds, but these were minor. Internal doors are also difficult to close and open and do make a loud noise when being used. There were also a lack of cleaning supplys such as wipeskitchen roll.

The old barns are fantastic. It was the 3rd time we have stayed in them. The views are great, very peaceful. The pub just up the lane offers a great of food. The lovely little town is within walking distance.

Lovely cottage in beautiful area with fabulous walks from the door. Nice secure dog friendly garden and lovely to relax in the hot tub after walking in the hills!

Michele

Was lovely place to stay, stunning views, nice fenced garden running down to a little stream, hot tub was nice touch though we didnt use it. Great little pub in the village two min walk away, with lovely dining room. Stunning countryside and minutes away from the A49. 5 mins from Church Stretton which is a really pretty little place with all the facilities you need. Master bed was really comfy, just one small thing, could do with a curtain up at both the front door and back door for those of us going to the loo in the middle of the night, never thought to bring a dressing gown!

Ariana

Wonderful stay in this gorgeous property. Location is excellent. Well equipped and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would love to return!

Tamanie

We spent our 3rd Wedding Anniversary here and it did not disappoint. Our 2 Sprocker spaniels loved the walks up the mountains and we enjoyed the hot tub at the end of the day!! It has everything that you need for your holiday!! We will be back thanks

Great location for walks, completely enclosed garden for the dog and was lovely to have a hot tub. Thank you for a great stay!

Amanda e

This was our second stay at Old Hall Barn 2 and it was just as great as we remembered. Loved the Hot tub and the views. Lots of walks from the cottage without having to drive as well as a really good base for exploring the local National Trust properties and gardens. We had a problem with the bathroom light which was fixed within the hour, after we called to report it. really impressed with the speed of the response. Only minor niggle, and true of many holiday lets, is the lack of mugs, There were 5 of us necessitating frequent washing up every time you fancy a cuppa which makes the dishwasher redundant. Still a great place to stay and we would certainly recommend it and we'll becoming back sometime.

Samantha

We loved every minute of our stay we definitely be booking for our main holiday next year. Fantastic

Another lovely stay at the Old Barns. The situation is stunning and we really had the best of it with beautiful weather. Thank you

Andrew

Had a wonderful time exploring the surrounding hills, then releasing our aches and pains in the hot tub. Would certainly recommend and will definitely visit againLemon Drizzle Cake was a great touch.

Sandra

The location was superb and the Old Barn itself was just as photos showed, so no complaints. Only suggestion maybe do the netflix etc for lounge area more comfy viewing.

One of the radiators in the loungekitchen wasn't working and we were told that plumber would come out to look at it this didn't happen.

Graham

Excellent stay, this was our 4th time here and as always, everything was spoton. Will certainly be back.

Bathroom needs renovating. Decent shower required in a cubicle rather than over a Bath.

Great house in a lovely quiet area. Good location for visiting different areas of Shropshire via car. Would stay there again. The house was well equipped in the kitchen however I found a couple of pans had quite loose handles still useable though. Could benefit from a second chopping board for when cutting raw meat rather than using the one for everything. The hot tub was great, but the house could really do with a door mat inside by the back door as when coming in from the hot tub outside you can still be quite wet so this drips straight onto the floor. We also took our own towels which was a god send especially with the kids being in and out of the hot tub a couple of times a day, it made it so we had a spare towel for when showering.

Perfect little get away for a family or a couple, loads of space and plenty of things to do

We had a lovely time at the property, it was clean and well equipped. The hot tub was lovely. The barn is close to some beautiful walks and a decent pub within a five minute walk. The only negatives we had was a mat is needed inside the front and back door as the floor gets wet when its been raining. Also there are gaps in the fence so our dogs could see next doors dog and we had a dog who was scared to go out and another who is reactive. Also the dogs couldnt go in any other rooms only the kitchen, I understand them not going in bedrooms but they couldnt go in the lounge. On saying that the kitchen had a tv in and a big sofa so we stayed in there. We had a great time though and would stay again.

Elizabeth

The property was well equipped, comfortable and well maintained. The week of our visit was quite wet, nationally, not just Shropshire. The only suggestion I would make is to have door mats INSIDE both front and back doors especially during wet weather. Otherwise a lovely week in a beautiful area and the hot tub was the cherry on the cake.

Debbie

Really enjoyed our stay. Warm, comfortable spacious cottage with lovely views. Great location, friendly village pub 4 mins walk and Church Stretton itself easily walkable in about 20mins. Enclosed garden was perfect for the dog and made good use of the hot tub. Hope to return soon.

Graham

This was the 3rd time weve stayed here and weve already booked again for later in the year. Cant fault the cottage or location.

Beautiful cottage In beautiful location. Very quiet and tranquil but all the amenities you need on your door step. Wonderful walks, lovely pubs and shops close by. This is our second visit and we will be back. Loved the Christmas decorations for our stay between Christmas and New Year. Thank you so much.

Lovely property in a great setting. Lots of great walks from the door and the bonus of a hot tub to relax in later. The hosts were great, available on the end of the phone but not intrusive. We will be back .

Property was as described and delivered on our expectations. Great enclosed garden for those with dogs who like to wriggle free.

We had a lovely stay here, there was everything we needed the kitchen was well ... We had a lovely stay here, there was everything we needed the kitchen was well stocked with plates etc The only thing thats needs attention is the bedroom door downstairs as was sticking but obviously didnt impact on our stay at all and one bedroom lamp wasnt working downstairs, would highly recommend this, there was 4 adults and 2 children in our party and we all enjoyed the house and the hot tub

Graham

Excellent stay. Property ticks all the boxes with wonderful views over the Shropshire hills. Plenty of walks locally and a really good pub within walking distance. Will be back in the New Year.

Daniel

We had a wonderful stay, beautiful surroundings and a very well appointed property. Plenty of great places to eat nearby, lovely walks and I really enjoyed the fishing at E P Parkes fisheries round the corner. Will definitely be back at some point. Thanks for having us

Lovely stay the Barn was ideally located for getting to some of the beautiful towns around and the Long MyndCarding Mill Valley was just a short walk up the road. We enjoyed the hot tub and the really beautiful views watching the sunset from the tub! Staff were around on sight and very friendly and really helpful both before and during the stay. Downstairs was very accessible for my disabled mum other than needing to get upstairs for the shower, it was perfect! We would definitely stay again.

Loved our holiday cottage. Clean, comfortable. We met the owner most days as he worked in the courtyard who was very friendly, as were the other guests.

Everything was perfect we had an amazing time. Could not fault anything regards to the above mentioned as in cleanliness, facilities. A very tiny request would be for there to be an ice cube tray ...we came to have drinks and no facility to make ice but we ate at the Yew Tree and they kindly gave us a tub of ice.....this is by far not a criticism just a suggestion ...... I have already passed on the details to 4 friends and we will be coming back as soon as possible.

Sharon

We had a great stay at Old Hall Barn 2 really comfortable, clean cottage with everything you need for a relaxing break. Fantastic views from the fully enclosed garden which was perfect for our dog. Lovely countryside walks from the doorstep and a 15 minute stroll into Church Stretton and Carding Mill National Trust. Additional bonus was having use of the owner's nearby fishing lake.

Had a wonderful stay, everything was perfect.

Audrey

We had a wonderful break at the lovely Old Hall Barns. The location is brilliant for walking and the views from the back garden are amazing. The main thing we struggled with were the beds which were really firm and took some getting used to! Would definitely go back, hot tub was lovely and the owner was very nice and checked to see we had everything we needed. A great place to stay!
