Guests say
Grove Sprightly Barn in Craven Arms is a spacious and peaceful cottage, offering great value for money. It's well-equipped for large gatherings and ideally situated for local walks, with beautiful views and a farm setting that families adore. While the decor is noted as dated and some areas initially cold, the ample space and serene location are consistent highlights.
There is insufficient information in the reviews to assess the cleanliness of the property.
The location is praised for its peacefulness and proximity to local walks and a decent supermarket, indicating a high level of satisfaction among guests.
Comfort receives a moderate score due to mixed reviews about the beds and sofas, with some guests finding them less comfortable, but the property is still considered spacious and comfortable overall.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the large kitchen and multiple bathrooms. However, points are deducted for dated decor, limited Wi-Fi reach, and initial heating issues.
There are no mentions of gifts or special touches from the hosts that would indicate thoughtfulness, so this category cannot be scored.

Pros: Amazing value for money. Good location and lots of space. 4 bathrooms and 2 sitting rooms, big kitchen excellent for Christmas dinner making. Great location for local walks, very peaceful.Cons: Freezing cold when we arrived in some parts of the house, took 24 hours to warm up (storage heaters). Decor very old and tired, beds and sofas not comfortable. Wi-Fi only reaches sitting rooms. No response from hosts to question.

Loved our weekend here! Beautiful views, well equipped. As others mentioned furniture dated and showers not great but you really couldn't beat it for the price and perfect for a big get together. Decent supermarket nearby for supplies. Great host communication. Thank you!
