Stoke Court Farm Barn in Ludlow is highly praised for its beautiful, peaceful setting and homely atmosphere. Guests appreciate the well-equipped, spotless accommodation, suitable for large groups and those with additional needs. The friendly hosts and farm experience, including lambing, add to the charm. It's an ideal rural retreat for family gatherings and nature lovers.
The property is consistently described as spotless and very clean, with guests noting the cleanliness of the bedding and the overall accommodation.
The rural and peaceful location is highly appreciated by guests, offering tranquility and proximity to nature. However, some guests noted it can be a bit tricky to find, which slightly impacts the score.
Guests find the barn very homely and comfortable, with a variety of seating options to suit different preferences. The presence of cosy fireside chairs and comfortable beds is frequently mentioned.
The property is well-equipped for large groups, with games, books, and kitchen utensils. However, some guests mentioned the need for more large saucepans and a fitting grill pan, indicating room for improvement in kitchen facilities.
While the hosts are described as welcoming and accommodating, there is no mention of gifts in the reviews. Therefore, we cannot assess the thoughtfulness based on gifts and the score is set to null.

Set on a working farm, this detached stone barn is located just 6 miles from historic Ludlow and lies on the edge of the village of Stoke St Milborough, which nestles between the Clee Hill and the Brown Clee Hills in south Shropshire, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Stoke Court farm Barn is decorated and furnished to a high standard, whilst retaining many original features including beams and stable walls. It offers beautiful family accommodation with additional facilities for disabled guests, and makes an excellent holiday base for exploring the local area.
The 200-acre farm is a working beef and sheep farm, and within the grounds of the holiday barn is a newly discovered 17th-century formal garden with its prospect viewing mound. There is also a Sensory Garden to stimulate sound, sight, touch and smell. The latter has been developed in association with defra.
Nearby, historic Ludlow provides a wealth of interest for any visitor. John Betjeman described it as ‘the loveliest town in England’. Country Life also paid tribute, calling it ‘the most vibrant small town in the country’. It has lively markets, food fairs and speciality shops. There are many Michelin restaurants and Ludlow has rightly become known as the gastronomic capital of Shropshire. The Ludlow Marches Food and Drink Festival is held every September. The town boasts over 500 listed buildings, mostly Georgian or half-timbered houses as well as a castle, once the home of kings, now a centre for festivals, events and open-air theatre performances.
An unusual day out can be enjoyed at the Secret Hills Discovery Centre, which traces the geological history of the Shropshire Hills, and is housed in an unusual turf-roofed building designed to echo the hill forts found in the surrounding countryside. A simulated hot air balloon flight over the Wrekin in the north to the Stiperstones in the south forms the central attraction of the Centre. A good day out can also be had at the Acton Scott working farm and museum. Leominster, Shrewsbury, Bridgnorth, Ironbridge and mid-Wales are all within easy driving distance. Fishing, walking, horse riding are all available and Ludlow golf course incorporates the Ludlow National Hunt Racecourse. Shop 6 miles.

The cottage is a good size with a good layout for a large group. The location is excellent as long as you make sure that you bring all that you need for your stay, which we did. There is a lovely walk to the local pub and nearby village.A second oven would be useful when catering for a large group but we made use of the heated hostess trolly to keep things hot.

Set in a beautiful location. The barn is equipped with everything you need, and was spotless. It is warm, cosy, and has plenty of hot water. We would definitely return.

Gorgeous cottage with a lovely host who kindly took our young children on a tour of the farm. It was wonderful waking up to the sheep in the morning and the barn also has a little stream in the picturesque garden. We had 6 children and 6 adults in our group and there was plenty of space for everyone. Highly recommend!
