Reviews
"We stayed at the Byre for a long weekend. It was a base for visiting our family and it was perfect. The surrounding area must be the nearest thing to heaven in the UK. We had views of the cattle feeding in the barns and the pretty farmyard. We had a warm welcome from the owner and the farm dog and we hope to return for a longer visit so we can do some walking."
"Peaceful setting at the end of country lanes. One of a group, in a farmyard setting on a working farm. Received a warm welcome from the owners and a delicious sponge cake on the table ready for our first cuppa. Everywhere was spacious and well equipped. Electric heating provided instant heat when needed. Convenient to visit The Ironbridge Gorge and Museums. Only one small gripe! the mattress was very hard and could feel springs (we are used to memory foam!)"
"Fantastic location for walks and views. The property is really well presented and the owners are around everyday and very helpful. Would definitely recommend."
"Accommodation excellent. Welcomed by the owners, nothing too much trouble for them. Tucked away location so nice and peaceful."
"Lovely cottage in a quiet location but easy to get to Ironbridge, Shrewsbury etc. Owners where there if you needed them but respected your privacy. Lovely cake waiting on arrival which was much appreciated."
