Owlbury Hall Barn Reviews

Brogan

Really enjoyed our stay here. Good location went for a hike at carding mill valley! Our stay was for 6 adults and one dog. Plenty of room !

Delphean

Fantastic place to stay! Yes the facilities are somewhat dated but it reflects in the price and there wasn't any issues with the use of it. The games barn was brilliant, it is just an unused barn with run down stuff in it but perfectly usable and a great addition for the kids. The grounds were superb, the dogs loved the freedom of it and the children were able to fly a kite and run around plenty. Hot tub was lovely after a day of walking both in Wales and the Shropshire AONB. The owners were great both before and during the visit. Perfect place for a dog and child friendly holiday where you can just switch off from normal life.

Our stay at Owlbury barn was in general a good one . However we were surprised that the cottage was not segregated from the owners house in the description it say the grounds were secure for pets but in reality the grounds are open which was disappointing . The WIFI was also very poor and the only way we could watch tv was through a firestick and our phones .The property as previous reviews suggest is tired and a little more effort could make it more appealing both internally and externally. Overall we thought bearing in mind we stayed in peak holiday season the price was reasonable but we would invest more money in the future to secure a higher standard of property .

One or 2 small negatives, wifi was very patchy, although part of being away is to switch off so its not a biggie, but could be for some people. Sliding doors in bedrooms do not seem to open so could get a little warm downstairs in the sun. A couple of electric fans would be useful I feel in the hot weather. It looks like it would be lovely in the winter with all the heaters and log burners. IF I went again at this time of year I would bring fly spray, need the windows open to keep cool so a lot of flies get in. No storage in middle bedroom, didn't really bother us but might be useful for people to know. Saying that we had an excellent time, the location is superb, the land was great for the children and dogs to run around, always felt very safe at any time of the day. The inside space was plenty big enough for the 7 of us to sit around in comfort. Hot tub was a nice feature. Would definitely consider staying there again, it pretty much met all of our requirements and cost was reasonable considering facilities and the number of people we had.

We had a very enjoyable stay Owlbury hall barn, very quiet and relaxing. We enjoyed exploring the area walking with our dog. We loved meeting James who was so friendly and Ruby his dog. A great place to stay.

Claire

Beautiful setting and lovely spacious accommodation . The only thing that could be improved is the WiFi which was intermittent.

Elaine

Fab break away with dogs. Loved the fact that there was so much space for them. Hot tub was a bonus. Will definitely return.

Carole

A stunning location. Beautiful setting. A lovely big house to stay in. Had everything you needed but it was a tad tired for the money. We had 3 families and so the living space was awesome. If I could suggest a new oven or an air fryer as the main oven is just a warmer im sure. The patio doors in the bedroom were all very precarious and weren't to be used. Lovely comfy beds, very dog friendly place. Would go again but more prepared.

Pros owner has been very helpful and responsive. Barn is really big and spacious. Cons Badly maintained house Both bathrooms were leaking between the silicone probably needs redoing. Barn is not suitable for families with young kids. Floor boards were creaky and and some were uneven and even loose which was extremely dangerous for crawlers and toddlers. Walls were really thin. We had white noise machine blasting but it was still very loud downstairs. There were lots of flies around even before we had arrived. Seems to be a clear issue as we found fly spray in the kitchen which we could not use due to chemicals being dangerous for dogs and babies. Beds were also overused can feel every spring through the mattress. Owners were really lovely but honestly would not go back.

Deborah

Great location gardens perfect for dogs and very safe for them to run off lead ... Great location gardens perfect for dogs and very safe for them to run off lead ,stunning views from the upstairs lounge area there was a few complications with working the tv but your in the countryside and WiFi although in the property is unpredictable the host James is very helpful and Elise I will definitely be returning again bishops castle is only a ten min drive away and lovely to walk around I found the shop keepers very friendly we stayed for a long weekend

Claire

The barn is in a beautiful setting and the barn itself very spacious ideal for dogs. The fenced back was ideal for letting your dogs out at night and the paddocks great for the day plenty of enrichment for the dogs. The road down to the barn was a bit like an extreme sport as much of it needs repair and is single track but barely any traffic so not a problem.

Rachael

We had a lovely few days at owlbury barn. Absolutely beautiful barn, with stunning views and grounds. Very clean and spacious. Our children loved the games. James was very helpful on arrival, we knew we could just ask if anything was needed. The hot tub was a perfect addition to the barn. Thank you for a lovely stay

Andrew

We had a wonderful stay at Owlbury Hall Barn. It is in such a lovely place.The barn is spacious and comfortable and has everything you need. The grounds are huge and extremely beautiful. The hosts are fabulous and very friendly. Our pup Margot loved her first doggy holiday, especially playing with Ruby, their Lab. We loved every minute of our stay and we can't wait to return.

We had a really lovely stay at Owlbury Hall Barn. The barn is stunning very spacious, immaculate and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The surroundings are beautiful with plenty of space for our young children and fur babies to run and explore, with the added bonus of a pool table, ping pong table and a hot tub. The owners are really lovely and approachable and made us feel very welcome. The local area is lovely with plenty of walks and we would highly recommend a trip to Powis castle. We will definitely be returning to Owlbury Hall Barn, thank you all so much.

A lovely charactered barn in beautiful rural setting. Peace and tranquility in abundance Perfect for dogs and humans alike to recharge your batteries. We will definitely be returning.

Salman

We had a fantastic few days over half term staying at Owlbury Hall Barn family of 4 with 2 x 15 year old boys. The house is brilliant, so much space & the living room is great for relaxing in the evenings. The area is lovely with great walks on the doorstep & Bishops Castle is a nice small town with everything you need. Thank you to our hosts who could not have been more friendly or helpful. Were looking forward to hopefully coming back again.
