About this property
Tawny Owl Barn is a characterful, detached, Grade II listed house situated in Leintwardine, Herefordshire. This 300-year-old barn conversion boasts spacious accommodation throughout, an electric fire, bar area, and outdoor barn with firepit – with designated, off-road parking, Tawny Owl Barn is idyllic for a family or group of friends on a Herefordshire getaway. Step into the entrance hall to marvel at the high ceilings, exposed beams, and original fixtures of your new haven. Glide across stone-floors into the sitting room and toast your well-trekked toes by the electric fire as a film entertains on the Smart TV. Whip up a scrumptious supper in the kitchen/diner equipped with electric oven and hob, microwave, and fridge/freezer, before digging in at an intimate dining table for four.
When the sun follows you home, why not whip up some drinks in the bar area and enjoy them at the shared garden furniture beside a peaceful pond? When the evening chill starts to bite, take your drinks into the barn and cosy up beside the crackling firepit. Rinse off in one of two en-suites, while the washing machine takes care of your laundry, before settling into a king-size bed waiting to embrace you. Take in your surroundings and enjoy the abundance of scenic country walks in the area, all within easy reach of Ludlow, Church Stretton, the famous Black and White Trail, and the charming Aardvark Book Barn in Brampton Bryan.
If you want to grab a bite to eat, there are two welcoming village pubs, The Lion pub – just a stone’s throw from your property, has a great restaurant and a lovely riverside garden and the Sun Inn is a famous historical ‘parlour pub’. Venture a little further afield for Ludlow which is 8 miles from the property to take scenic strolls through, Mortimer Forest, marvel at Ludlow Castle, and don your finest clothes for a day out at the races at Ludlow Race Club Ltd. Take a short drive to Shrewsbury to treat the history buff to Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings, Shrewsbury Abbey, and Shrewsbury Castle.
Countryside walks and adventure sit at your doorstep when you book a stay at Tawny Owl Barn.
