1728 - Ivy Barn
About the home
Ivy Barn, as its name suggest, was originally a barn, built from traditional Grinshill sandstone. It has been lovingly restored to provide accommodation for groups of up to 4 people. Many of the barn’s original features have been incorporated into the conversion, such as oak beams, stone-slated floors and a wood-burning stove. All the accommodation is spread out over one floor and French windows from the sitting room lead to a small, charming garden; perfect for enjoying a spot of outdoor-dining in the summer months. Off-road parking for 2 cars is available, but the local shop is a short stroll away and the local pub is just over a mile away.

The Heart of England / Peak District / Shropshire region
A E Houseman once wrote that Shropshire was “the quietest place under the sun” and today the county remains something of a rural idyll, recognised as one of the least crowded and most peaceful regions in England.
The Shrewsbury / Clive area
Clive is a small village located around the west side of Grinshill Hill. Grinshill Hill is a local beauty spot and there is a nearby mine from which the Grinshill sandstone was excavated to be used in building the village of Clive. Attractions are wide and varied in this part of Shropshire and there is plenty for outdoor-types, such as walking and cycling. If you prefer to take things a bit easier, but still want to enjoy the stunning scenery, a boat-trip on the Severn will relax and inspire you. The nearby village of Wroxeter pays testament to the region’s historic past, having uncovered a myriad of Roman artefacts, such as the magnificent Roman Baths. There is even a Roman vineyard which still produces wine for sale to the public.

Excellant value for money, quite and well appointed. Let down by poor cleaning. Verified by FlipKey, a TripAdvisor company |

We had a thoroughly enjoyable week, fabulous Barn and location! Our only concerns were the amount of spiders in the Barn and no internet access provided, a definite negative in this day and age. Verified by FlipKey, a TripAdvisor company |

Conversion was beautifully designed and carried out, but pity that the second bedroom was not larger. Kitchen needs a fridge/freezer, ot at least a fridge with a frozen food compartment. Low beam... more |
Guestbook for 1728 - Ivy Barn
The peace of the village and the overall quality of the accommodation was excellent. We had a wonderful week.

,A really great place to stay in a fascinating village. The cottage was beautifully converted with so much bare timber, full of fascinating books and artefacts, and the garden is a beautiful place to sit out in. Extremely comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen and spacious living areas.

,The standard of the Barn is impeccable. We were amazed at the amount of personal property belonging to the owner available to use; books, maps etc. It also afforded good access either by Public Transport or car or many areas or walk or see without having to travel far. Lovely and warm.
Mr Davies, Newark, Nottinghamshire

,The village of Clive was so sleepy and peaceful, just what we were looking for, and the view from the lounge window of the church spire was gorgeous. The cottage was much bigger than we expected and a good base to see Chester and Shrewsbury etc. I loved it and didn't want to come home to be honest, and the price just made it such good value. I would definitely come again.
