  My family and I had a wonderful stay at the Dutch barn.

  It is beautifully decorated, well thought-out and equipped with everything you could need. The hot tub is a great addition and enabled us to keep the boys busy on rainy days. The hot tub robes were also a nice touch. The accommodation is very comfortable with quality furnishings. The barn is on a working farm but we were not disturbed once. The owners live close by but respect your privacy but were equally very responsive and helpful if needed. We really enjoyed exploring the local area. You are spoilt for choice when it comes to castles and historic buildings. We particularly enjoyed Hereford Cathedral, the chain library and the Mappa Mundi are a must see. The cafe was also really good. Homemade quiches and fresh salads. We thoroughly enjoyed Ludlow castle (a well preserved ruin which seems a bit of contradiction) . We also paid a visit to Croft Castle which is more of a stately home and there’s not as much to do there on a wet day but we did enjoy the tour of the house. Not as great in terms of value for money as Ludlow or Hereford cathedral. For something different and despite not being cider drinkers we did the Weston’s Cider factory tour which was fab. Surprisingly Family friendly too. Nice cafe there. Finally we went to Monkland Dairy. We didn’t do the tour but the lady in the shop was lovely, let us sample their 6 cheeses and the cheese makers both came out and had a chat to our boys. They watched the machinery through a little viewing window . The cheeses are delicious! Great holiday, lovely setting and plenty of things to do.

  What a phenomenal place!

  We loved being able to relax and unwind. The Dutch Barn is exceptionally comfortable, brilliantly equipped and has spectacular views from the upstairs living space. It is a beautifully airy, open place with a view from every window, either across the fields, over the orchard where the sheep graze or across to the hills in the distance. The spa hot tub was superbly looked after by Jackie. It was a pure delight to sit under the stars in the hot water and to just sit and chat. Every need was catered for in the Barn. We thoroughly enjoyed the welcome pack which featured local produce which was a lovely touch. The kitchen was very well thought out with condiments, cling film, foil, bags, clips, utensils all available for use. Overall, we will definitely be back. Truly one of the best places we have stayed in. Thank you so much for an incredible week.

  The Dutch Barn was perfect for our staycation.

  The photos don’t prepare you for the fantastic feeling you get when you walk in. A perfect home from home with everything you could want for a relaxing holiday. We spent most evenings on the spacious balcony enjoying the peace and quiet. There are some great walks from the door, so you don’t need to get in the car. Members of the local golf club were friendly and welcoming. The local pub was a short walk away and has a lovely beer garden. Jackie and Peter couldn’t have done more to make our stay a perfect one. Thanks for the lovely welcome hamper and the beans! We enjoyed seeing them harvested and sharing the story ( and the beans) when we returned home.

  The Barn offers fantastic accommodation which is very light and airy.

  The location is extremely quiet and The Barn was spotlessly clean as well as being very well equipped. It is well located for general shopping in Leominster as well as being halfway between Hereford and Ludlow which offer a variety of high quality dining experiences. It is without doubt an amazing area for top quality gardens open to the public which was the main reason for our visit. Ludlow Castle, Weston's Cider Tours and Mortimer Forest for walks were additional attractions for us. We very much hope to return soon as there are many more gardens still to visit especially towards Wales.

  The owner was very welcoming and helpful , it gave an air of assurance in these stressful "getting back to normal" times.

  The cottage is cosy and comfortable in a beautiful location, with lovely views over a valley. We spent happy times over a coffee watching the amazing bird life (and saw birds of prey high up over the hills). The weather wasn't good to us during our stay but the accommodation was a welcoming place to come back to. We agree with a previous reviewer's comments , that if you are used to a firmer mattress , you notice a difference, but that is a minor point. Overall a lovely , welcoming place to retreat to for a break and an excellent base for visiting and exploring the surrounding area.
