About this property

A stone-built, semi-detached barn conversion on a working farm, in a peaceful location at the foot of the Long Mynd Hills near the village of Wentnor, 12 miles from Church Stretton. Attractively furnished in a traditional style, the property is brimming with character, including exposed beams, wall timbers and a four poster bed. There is also a pretty patio garden with spectacular views of the Long Mynd. A few hundred yards away, the Adstone Walk on the Shropshire Way is a walker's paradise while the famous Stiperstones and Wenlock Edge are nearby. The amenities of Church Stretton, medieval Ludlow and Bishop's Castle are within easy reach, as are numerous attractions including the Ironbridge museums and many National Trust properties.

The village of Wentnor lies on a ridge to the west of the Long Mynd, with good views in all directions. It is an attractive village, situated on a location that can be traced back to Saxon times. The church of St. Michael and All Angels is at one end of theridge, and there are spectacular views to be had from there, looking towards the west from the churchyard. Carved into an outside wall of the church is an inverted 'face'. Inside is a tombstone known as the ‘Hurricane Tombstone'; this is in memory of a family who lost their lives in the nearby hamlet of Asterton during a hurricane in 1772. Wetnor is also situated close to many other historic Shropshire attractions. The Shropshire Hills are littered with Roman and Iron Age settlements, perfect destinations for those who want to mix a bit of history with a scenic walk. Church Stretton is only a few miles away and offers a beautiful example of a modern medieval village. With outdoor pursuits, such as fishing and mountain-biking, in abundance, Wentnor is a haven for those looking to get away from it all.

    Thank you

    Everything you need is provided. It's very clean and the only reason I gave 3 and not 4 for comfort was the bed was very hard which didn't suit us but that's our preference.

    Beautifully quiet. The owner was helpful and the goodies on arrival were really appreciated. I’d happily go back.
