Old Hall Barn 2 Reviews

Graham
Excellent stay, this was our 4th time here and as always, everything was spoton. Will certainly be back.
Bathroom needs renovating. Decent shower required in a cubicle rather than over a Bath.
Great house in a lovely quiet area. Good location for visiting different areas of Shropshire via car. Would stay there again. The house was well equipped in the kitchen however I found a couple of pans had quite loose handles still useable though. Could benefit from a second chopping board for when cutting raw meat rather than using the one for everything. The hot tub was great, but the house could really do with a door mat inside by the back door as when coming in from the hot tub outside you can still be quite wet so this drips straight onto the floor. We also took our own towels which was a god send especially with the kids being in and out of the hot tub a couple of times a day, it made it so we had a spare towel for when showering.
Perfect little get away for a family or a couple, loads of space and plenty of things to do
We had a lovely time at the property, it was clean and well equipped. The hot tub was lovely. The barn is close to some beautiful walks and a decent pub within a five minute walk. The only negatives we had was a mat is needed inside the front and back door as the floor gets wet when its been raining. Also there are gaps in the fence so our dogs could see next doors dog and we had a dog who was scared to go out and another who is reactive. Also the dogs couldnt go in any other rooms only the kitchen, I understand them not going in bedrooms but they couldnt go in the lounge. On saying that the kitchen had a tv in and a big sofa so we stayed in there. We had a great time though and would stay again.
Elizabeth
The property was well equipped, comfortable and well maintained. The week of our visit was quite wet, nationally, not just Shropshire. The only suggestion I would make is to have door mats INSIDE both front and back doors especially during wet weather. Otherwise a lovely week in a beautiful area and the hot tub was the cherry on the cake.
Debbie
Really enjoyed our stay. Warm, comfortable spacious cottage with lovely views. Great location, friendly village pub 4 mins walk and Church Stretton itself easily walkable in about 20mins. Enclosed garden was perfect for the dog and made good use of the hot tub. Hope to return soon.
Graham
This was the 3rd time weve stayed here and weve already booked again for later in the year. Cant fault the cottage or location.
Beautiful cottage In beautiful location. Very quiet and tranquil but all the amenities you need on your door step. Wonderful walks, lovely pubs and shops close by. This is our second visit and we will be back. Loved the Christmas decorations for our stay between Christmas and New Year. Thank you so much.
Lovely property in a great setting. Lots of great walks from the door and the bonus of a hot tub to relax in later. The hosts were great, available on the end of the phone but not intrusive. We will be back .
Property was as described and delivered on our expectations. Great enclosed garden for those with dogs who like to wriggle free.
We had a lovely stay here, there was everything we needed the kitchen was well ... We had a lovely stay here, there was everything we needed the kitchen was well stocked with plates etc The only thing thats needs attention is the bedroom door downstairs as was sticking but obviously didnt impact on our stay at all and one bedroom lamp wasnt working downstairs, would highly recommend this, there was 4 adults and 2 children in our party and we all enjoyed the house and the hot tub
Graham
Excellent stay. Property ticks all the boxes with wonderful views over the Shropshire hills. Plenty of walks locally and a really good pub within walking distance. Will be back in the New Year.
Daniel
We had a wonderful stay, beautiful surroundings and a very well appointed property. Plenty of great places to eat nearby, lovely walks and I really enjoyed the fishing at E P Parkes fisheries round the corner. Will definitely be back at some point. Thanks for having us
Lovely stay the Barn was ideally located for getting to some of the beautiful towns around and the Long MyndCarding Mill Valley was just a short walk up the road. We enjoyed the hot tub and the really beautiful views watching the sunset from the tub! Staff were around on sight and very friendly and really helpful both before and during the stay. Downstairs was very accessible for my disabled mum other than needing to get upstairs for the shower, it was perfect! We would definitely stay again.
Loved our holiday cottage. Clean, comfortable. We met the owner most days as he worked in the courtyard who was very friendly, as were the other guests.
Everything was perfect we had an amazing time. Could not fault anything regards to the above mentioned as in cleanliness, facilities. A very tiny request would be for there to be an ice cube tray ...we came to have drinks and no facility to make ice but we ate at the Yew Tree and they kindly gave us a tub of ice.....this is by far not a criticism just a suggestion ...... I have already passed on the details to 4 friends and we will be coming back as soon as possible.
Sharon
We had a great stay at Old Hall Barn 2 really comfortable, clean cottage with everything you need for a relaxing break. Fantastic views from the fully enclosed garden which was perfect for our dog. Lovely countryside walks from the doorstep and a 15 minute stroll into Church Stretton and Carding Mill National Trust. Additional bonus was having use of the owner's nearby fishing lake.
Had a wonderful stay, everything was perfect.
Audrey
We had a wonderful break at the lovely Old Hall Barns. The location is brilliant for walking and the views from the back garden are amazing. The main thing we struggled with were the beds which were really firm and took some getting used to! Would definitely go back, hot tub was lovely and the owner was very nice and checked to see we had everything we needed. A great place to stay!
Great cottage in the village of All Stratton the kitchen area was fab and with 2 dogs, this is where we spent the majority of our time. Hot tub was a great feature and well needed after walking the nearby Carding Mill Valley! Everything we needed was provided in the accommodation and we would definitely return!
The area was beautiful & the cottage was lovely! Definitely would go back!!
The property was listed as pet friendly, however in reality the dog was confined to the kitchen area. There were signs on the doors excluding the dog from entering the rooms.
Nice house and an easy stay. The kitchen especially could have been far better equipped
A big thankyou to the owners of Old Barn 2 for their flexibility after we contacted them through Sykes given some difficult personal circumstances. We would definitely again.
Sheila
Lovely weekend.
Amanda e
We had a great time staying at the cottage and loved relaxing in the hot tub at the end of each days walking. Loads of great places for walking from the cottage. Dog had a great time. Cottage was really well appointed and in a great location. Would love to go back sometime.
Beverley
Cottage was in a very good location, with excellent walks on the doorstep while still being very close to all amenities. While the cottage was comfortable, there was a lack of attention to detail. Loose kitchen cupboard door broken cutlery tray in dishwasher very noisy bathroom fan and difficult to regulate shower. The bedroom curtains were very thin, so we were woken at 5 each morning when the sun came up. I would recommend this cottage, but only as 3 accommodation.
Property is in a lovely position. We did find that the showerhead in the bathroom needed attention, we could not get it to flow properly. Also we found the taps on the washbasins difficult to turn off. Otherwise we were comforable and happy.
Louise
Wonderful location with amazing walks. Great place to take dogs. Loved the cottage overall, especially the spacious kitchen with soft seating area. Good outside space. Some attention to detail required eg broken cutlery container in dishwasher, dingy bathroom in need of decent lighting, heating settings all over the place and no instructions how to reset, soup spoons instead of dessert spoons, childsize forks only who knew cutlery was so important?!
Excellent holiday cottage in superb location. Secluded garden with hot tub was perfect for my group, we were able to walk the hills and come back to relax very easily. Would recommend over and over and hosts were brilliant. The only 'issue' we really had was that between five adults, one shower is stretching it.
Stewart
Lovely quiet location with beautiful surroundings and views. Property clean and very welcoming. Would maybe benefit from a heated towel rail, although mainly due to us getting soaked on one day of our break. Would definitely visit and stay at Old Hall Barn again.
It had everything we needed, we enjoyed the hot tub, the secure garden was a must for our dog, a good base for exploring the surrounding area, friendly owners. Also the nearby fishing lake kept the anglers in our family happy.
Rachel
What a lovely hidden gem in the gorgeous Shropshire! Beautiful cottage with fabulous views! Our dogs loved watching the sheep in the field opposite us everyday! Cottage was immaculate and in a fantastic location. We will be back, thank you
Ersuline
Great location for exploring nearby country side. House is well equipped, warm and comfortable, plenty of space for 4 people.
This cottage was lovely, if there was a some sort of roof or covering over the top of the hot tub it would make all the difference on rainy days. Although we still used it
Sheryl
The hot tub was excellent but there needs to be an outside light, the owner came & had a look & said hed be back the next morning to fix it but never did. The back door latch and handle were both broken so I had to use a fork each time we needed to open the door to try & prise it down. It was lovely & spacious but I wouldnt stay again.
