From the owner

The Byre is a recently converted 18th C barn halfway between Ludlow and Church Stretton. Surrounded by an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with views up to 20 miles along Wenlock Edge, Clee Hill and towards Ludlow, our 18th C stone and wood framed barn is a peaceful countryside haven yet only a mile from the nearest town. The one double bedroom accommodates 2 adults plus baby and a child up to approximately 12 years at no extra charge. Near to the Spa town of Church Stretton, (known as Little Switzerland) and Ludlow (regarded by many as the finest Medieval town in Britain) The Byre is ideally situated for touring Shropshire and the Welsh Marches border area with its wealth of ancient castles and churches. Rated 4 Stars by Visit Britain and Excellent by TripAdvisor, it features underfloor heating, woollen carpeted bedrooms and natural slate floors combined with original oak beams and high ceilings for that authentic country atmosphere. Guests love our warm welcome of home made cakes, beverages with fresh milk and flowers from the cottage garden.. A gourmet meal delivered by Van Doesberg's Deli can await your arrival and tempt your palate on any other day of your stay with us. Dining out is one of the prime attractions of this part of South Shropshire with restaurants from top award winners to carveries and quaint English tea shops. The award winning Ludlow Food Centre is nearby - Shropshire's answer to Fortnum & Mason's - where you can watch much of the fine food being prepared on site from local farms and gardens. A good range of takeaways a supermarket, shops, bank and petrol stations are found in Craven Arms just one mile away. Ironbridge World Heritage site with the world's first iron bridge and ten museums is a 30 minute drive away and our visitors are eligible for reduced entry fees to any of the museums during their stay.. The BBCtv Victorian Farm at Acton Scott is within easy reach. The modern Olympics originated in the picturesque small town of Much Wenlock where an annual Olympiad is still held each summer. The award winning Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre and renowned Stokesay Castle are within easy walking distance from The Byre. Relax in our pretty cottage garden with its two patios, Coalbrookdale furniture and barbecue and enjoy wonderful walks or cycle rides from right outside the gates. Once you have stayed at Highgrove you will surely want to return soon as so many of our visitors do.

    Owner's reply:
    Thank you for your positive review and your constructive suggestions. We have since provided seating right outside the Dairy and The Byre. Facing south there is also a large new parasol and table which guests have welcomed. We address any drain problems that occur very occasionally as soon as we are made aware of them. Wi-fi is now fibre-optic since this was installed just down the lane. Distant views of the hills are enjoyed from the Byre. Being the larger of our two cottages it has table and chairs, a sofa and additional comfortable seating. The Dairy looks out over the old farmyard and our well stocked gardens.

    Thank you Christine! We were asked to review our guests before we were able to read your kind testimonial. Guest reviews are the latest innovation on TA and could be a bit nerve-wracking if there have been problems! Anyway not a concern for you or us as we found so much common ground and you were exemplary guests. Hope to welcome you back when you are over from Oz.
