What a delightful tasteful barn conversation, the feeling of space was amazing without it being cavernous.It had everything you needed and was very comfortable especially the huge deep sofas and beds.James the owner was attentive without being intrusive & was on hand to help with anything you needed.Our dog especially enjoyed the large garden & it was secure for him to amble around.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mashers barn. We were well provided for in the kitchen, and the bedrooms and bathrooms. The lounge was fine as was the ‘dining room’. The location suited us but for others it might be a little out of the wayWe will certainly revisit.

We stayed at Mashers Barn with friends mid May. The barn is set in a beautiful location near Ludlow, it was very peaceful and quiet. James is snn excellent host, coming to check if everything was alright. The barn is very comfortable, a downstairs bedroom with a lovely walk inn shower. The double bedroom upstairs is spacious with a very large wheel thought out bathroom.We had a lovely relaxed holiday and didn't want to leave.
