Perfect peace in Shropshire
We travelled to England to celebrate our daughterā€™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.

Great stay
We had a great stay at Mattā€™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.

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.

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 :-)

Beautiful secluded getaway
Mattā€™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 couldnā€™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 couldnā€™t have been better! So much space for the kids to run around in, playing hide and seek or ā€œtagā€! Although we didnā€™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 moreā€¦ or had a bbq. Next time! It really feels like youā€™re in the middle of nowhere which is great. But be prepared to travel for food etc. Matt the host couldnā€™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 wasnā€™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 donā€™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!

Multi generational delight
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.
