Further afield you have an array of attractions including English Heritages' Witley Court (16 Miles) and The National Trusts Berrington Hall (13 Miles).

Entering the large entrance hall, you will be greeted with a row of traditional coat hooks and a large basket of firewood. Along the hallway, climb six steps to the living area, where you can snuggle up by the traditional wood burning stove on the comfy sofa and lose yourself in a good book or watch a movie. If you stay in for the evening, the other side of the open plan living area has a well-fitted kitchen, including an electric oven with gas hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, washing machine and wooden dining table, seating four. Stepping down a few steps you will find a double bedroom with a Emperor size bed (200cm x 200cm), and handmade wooden window shutters adding its charm. Further down the corridor you will find a single bedroom and a  bathroom with a shower over the bath, wash basin and WC.

Outside  you can enjoy a private seating area with BBQ and furniture within the owners beautifully landscaped garden in the grounds of this Victorian country  house. Here you will find plenty of outside furniture for you to relax on while taking in the wildlife including the family of geese that occupy the large pond.

February may not seem to be the greatest of months to take a short break but Hop Barn was perfect. It is remote but not to remote, spacious but cosy, well equipped for the two of us and our two dogs. Our city dogs loved the fields and their twice daily romps. The hosts are very welcoming. The Live and Let Live Pub, met all the hype with its renowneRead mored pies and the dessert menu was also impressive. Would we go back? Yes definitely! Hide

A beautiful cottage set is lovely grounds, We went for Christmas - arrived to a tastefully decorated living room. It is dog friendly - however we had to cut our holiday short because our dog doesn't do stairs and became anxious at night. It has a super king sized bed, with an electric blanket. Not that we used it. It is situated close to many placeRead mores. We visited Ludlow, the Wyre Forest and Highley - where we walked a section of the Seven Valley Way. Unfortunately it was very muddy.

Garden and fields available to guests were fantastic. Steps inside the property were a little difficult for our dog, but not necessarily for others. There were plenty of utensils etc to enable us to cook easily. Local pub highly recommended for food (particularly the pies!!)

A really comfortable property which is ideal for three people. The location is extremely quiet but the gardens and surrounding area are beautiful. Fishing on the local River Rea is challenging but enjoyable. The owners Birgit and David are great hosts and very knowledgeable about the local area. We wouldn't hesitate to book again.
