Great stay

We had a great stay at Matt’s property. The location was great and the barn was clean and well equipped. The welcome goodies were very much appreciated. The beds were comfortable and we enjoyed ourselves a lot. If we were in the area again we would happily stay at the barn again.

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.

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.

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.

Beautiful accessible accommodation

We had a fantastic 2 weeks staying in this stunning 4 bedroomed extremely spacious accommodation, Having two large wet rooms was an added bonus. Situated in the beautiful Shropshire hills with only sheep for neighbours. Would highly recommend this property to anybody, particularly those looking for accessible accommodation. Matt could not have been more helpful, always at hand if needed.

Perfect peace in Shropshire

We travelled to England to celebrate our daughter’s birthday, and wanted a place to get away that was accessible. The cottage was perfect for us, we loved the countryside and the peaceful luxuries in the cottage. Matt was a wonderful host, providing us with good local food suggestions as well as some fresh food staples when we arrived. We also appreciated all the literature about the surrounding areas. We would definitely return if we can, as it is really well set up and laid out for anyone. We highly recommend staying here.

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.

Three couples and 3 dogs stayed at Matts beautiful remote barn and had a wonderful time. The cleanliness and description of the property was A1 !! It was exactly what I wanted. The host met us and explained simply and professionally where everything was and how it worked. We literally wanted for nothing.. beautiful countryside amazing places to visit and a cosy log burner to come home to. Perfect.

Peaceful rural location, beautifully furnished

Met with family from Wales to celebrate special anniversary. Welcome and info from Matt was excellent, couldn't be more helpful and welcoming. Beautiful surroundings and outside area to enjoy the outdoors with a BBQ and a G&T in the sunshine. Inside is tastefully decorated to a rustic but smart country style with nods to the barns original use. Ideal for everyone as set on one level with walk in showers. Cosy comfortable and spacious. Would love to come back! Thanks Matt :-)

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!!

Hidden Gem

This property is by far the best place we have ever been, from start to finish this holiday delivered on every level, from the seclusion and quality and the surrounding areas everything was perfect. My dogs loved to roam and explore and chase each other up and down the stream that runs through the bottom of the extremely well kept garden. The inside of the property was to an extremely high standard (the pictures on the website really don't do it justice) and the kitchen was well equipped with everything required (lovely welcome pack of eggs and sourdough upon arrival). Every bedroom was clean and tidy and the ensuites with the wet rooms were perfect for my elderly mother in law. The front room had the most amazing wood burner for the chilly evenings and early mornings and a good TV with lots of channels. All in all the perfect break for relaxation and we definitely be booking again very soon. Thanks Matt for letting us stay in such a wonderful place :-)
