  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.

  We had a lovely time staying at the Dutch Barn.

  It's really well decked out and we were made to feel so welcome when we arrived. You get fantastic views from inside and there are nice walks and places to cycle in the local area. The house itself had everything we needed, with a very well equipped kitchen, as well as lots of things you wouldn't expect like board games and laundry items which were an added extra. It's really special to be staying on a working farm and seeing the activity going on in the fields. The location is really well situated for visiting local sites and landmarks with a number of interesting towns and attractions nearby. Jackie was lovely and we really enjoyed the odd visit from one of the sheep-dogs.

  The Dutch Barn was everything we could have asked for this family holiday!

  The pictures just do not do it justice, we couldn’t believe it when we drove up the lane & saw the barn for the first time. By far the most amazing property we have stayed at, a very high standard throughout, well equipped and a fabulous welcome pack! There was plenty to do in the area, including walks from the doorstep, National Trust and a great pub within walking distance. Having two washrooms was a bonus, especially with the hot tub - which we loved! Just sitting out on the top deck with a book was enjoyable and the children spent the week playing in the garden with the badminton set. Being at the barn was so relaxing, would thoroughly recommend a week here!

  Excellent cottage in a great location.

  The barn has been tastefully renovated and really comfortable with all the things you need for self catering. As well as the under counter fridge, there is a tall fridge/freezer in the utility room which gave plenty of food and drink storage for New Year celebrations!!! There are plenty of areas to explore within 30 minute drive, or further afield if you wish. Also lots of shops within a 15 minute drive in Leominster or Tunberry Wells. Pleasant communications with owner via text. We had a brief water outage after a burst mains and the owner was quick to make sure we were okay. The guest book is full of glowing reports and I can see why. Highly recommended!!!
