  This barn is situated in the most beautiful of settings.

  Fields, trees, and streams running alongside the barn are all very relaxing. However as it is stated as a dog friendly rental we were very disappointed on arrival to find the property is not, you are asked to keep dogs down stairs on a hard floor as not allowed on furniture or upstairs. Not relaxing for owner or pet. Perhaps provide throws as other establishments do. Take the dog bed as only comfort your fur baby will have. The bath was used on the day of arrival, which leaked through the ceiling into the downstairs area. This was not a new leak as the ceiling had previous water marks. On notifying the owner, we were asked 'well are you going to want to use it again?' We had to clean up water, place towels to catch water, and the owner did not come out till the next day. No apology given for inconvenience etc. Listing says hot tub as private however it faces the main lane giving access to other properties so felt exposed as cars and walkers going past. A privacy screen is definitely needed. Additional towels are recommended if using hot tub. Stair gate is a falling hazard as it sits on the bottom step and steps are deep and tall so effectively having to step down 2 steps at once. Garden very secure and fully enjoyed by our dog. My ratings are based on it being stated as a dog friendly establishment, if you have a working dog who is not used to its homly comforts then it may be a true statement.

  Owing to the fact that we live in Wales this was our first break away for purely countryside views.

  Our home is very close to the sea. We stayed at Ploony Barn from 260424 until 030524 for our wedding anniversary and both mine and my wife’s birthdays. As soon as we saw the location of the barn we were taken aback it was and is beautiful. There was countryside along with sheep and cattle as far as we could see and the place picturesque and peaceful. The barn was amazing with everything that you would need from dishwasher to washing machine and whatever else you could think was there it was wanting for nothing. It was beautifully clean and extremely tidy. The owner Lindsay was extremely friendly and helpful. We had a couple of very minor queries that we asked Lindsay for her advice to which we received responses from her within minutes and these were helpful and very positive. Overall we had an amazing week which we enjoyed totally. The location and the barn were amazing. We would recommend Ploony Barn to anyone wishing to have a holiday in a totally exquisite place and location. We intend to return for another holiday in the not too distant future. Many Thanks Michelle and Paul Parsons

  Really lovely and cosy barn conversion to stay in.

  Bed was very comfortable with lovely covers on. Just what was needed after a long day site seeing. Was very peaceful throughout our stay, wouldn’t have known there was other people living on the same premise, other than the occasional farm animal making a noise it was quiet. Would have been nice to have a tv in the bedroom so we could watch tv in bed but i know this is not a make or break decision. Under the bed could do with a good hoover (only found this out as dropped a headphone and came across random objects under the bed and a fair bit of dust). Cottage is 10 minutes away from local shop and really nice chinese takeaway. Wouldn’t advise going in a low sitting car as driveway is quite uneven/pot hole’y. Not too sure where the enclosed garden was as the garden next to the building is all open so would be unsure whether to take a dog with us if we stay again. Would have been nice for a book with some details about the area, local eateries etc but again, not a massive issue. Would definitely recommend to others as it is a beautiful place to stay

  We really enjoyed our stay at Broughton Stables, the perfectly situated converted barn is beautifully renovated and comfortable.

  It’s full of character (ancient oak beams) with great views from the living-room/kitchen across the garden to the hills. Kate the owner (very friendly and approachable) had catered for everything. All the essentials and more. It was clean, airy, fresh and practical with comfortable beds and a lovely on-suite, great for a soak after long walks with the dog. We felt relaxed and at home straight away, we couldn’t have asked for more. The barn is in a picturesque and tranquil location with a private garden to enjoy the view, kittens, pet sheep and the stunning night sky. We enjoyed some fabulous walks in the Shropshire hills and trails, the surrounding area is beautiful with so much to discover. We certainly recommend and will book to stay again to discover more of this beautiful county. We returned from our stay relaxed and revived. We have stayed in many cottages and consider this one of the best.

  Just returned from a lovely week away at Ploony barn so wanted to leave a review to say myself, my partner and our dog had a great relaxing break.

  The cottage had everything you would need to be away from home but still feel like home including washing machine and dryer in the large utility room, which was a great space to leave our muddy boots and clean up our dog after walking him. We loved the log fire and hot tub too, and the Xmas trees were a lovely touch for our Xmas break ❤️the kitchen had all the utensils you’d need to cook some nice meals, we did a shop at the Tesco in Llandrindod wells which was about 20 mins away in the car, great local dog walk at fishpools just over a mile away, we also visited Ludlow town which had some nice shops and market(40 min drive), Highly recommend this lodge if you like peace and quiet in a beautiful cottage, we will definitely be returning again in the future, thankyou to Lindsey and family x
