The barn is absolutely beautiful, with the inside being converted into a really quirky and interesting living space. The kitchen is really well equipped and sizeable to cook for 6. The outside space is great for eating and relaxing. Super comfy beds. Really great rural location on a working farm but this obviously means few local amenities but we were happy to trade this for the peace and quiet.A great location to explore places like Ironbridge, Bridgnorth and the Severn valley.
