We Stayed at Orchard Barns for three nights in December with Family. Perfect for both my young nephews with the games room and large garden. Also Orchard Barns was perfect for older members of the family who had mobility issues with the downstairs bedroom. A kitchen with lots of equipment allowed us to cook big meals and we all enjoyed the hot tub. We spent time exploring Stapleton, Shewsbury, Ludlow and the local area. Would stay again.

This was a great house for a family party of 9 people. The kitchen was well equipped and the house was always warm and welcoming. Some of the group really enjoyed the hot tub,The Welcome Pack was exceptional and the Brownie was universally declared the best anyone had ever tasted. Ella was very helpful before we arrived and responded quickly to any queries. Just up the road is the Dorrington Horseshoes Pub which serves excellent food and the 10% discount voucher from the welcome pack was accepted easily.All in all this is a great house which is warm and comfortably furnishes and is well placed for visiting Shrewsbury and other local places/sites of interest such as Attingham Park and Wroxeter Roman Fort
