  The cottage was lovely but a number of issues really impacted negatively upon our stay and little was done by way of a compensation gesture other than a sorry.

  The property is very isolated, which is fine, BUT we had no phone coverage or WiFi for two of our four days so we could not contact anyone, nor could we watch the advertised Sky Glass TV or use laptops or tablets ; my husband could not do any of the work he needed to do and we had to go out during the day to work rather than fully enjoying our break. As there were no pubs, shops or restaurants within five miles, we were effectively trapped as we could not even phone a taxi to take us out for the evening. We also have elderly parents who we could not check upon which was very worrying. We missed some of the basics as in soap, shampoo or shower gel and there were no teatowels available; a small thing but surprisingly necessary. We missed the usual 'Welcome Hamper' although the lovely maintenance man did bring us a bottle of wine.Hot water was somewhat limited and only a quick shower was really possible. I have a chronic back problem and always book accommodation with a tub; but having a bath was not possible due to limited hot water supply. The cottage has a septic tank and we did experience some issues with flushing the toilet, somewhat embarrassing. We did love the cottage, and I do not wish to be negative but I honestly feel prospective guests need to be aware of potential problems. The setting is gorgeous and the pub we visited, The Miners, was incredibly welcoming but, we were disappointed by the issues we experienced, even more so that we were not offered anything by way of compensation. Sadly, I would not stay again.

  Had a very comfortable stay.

  The interior is very comfortable, decorated well and very cosy inside without feeling cramped. The outside space is lovely with the view from the hot tub which is stunning. The place was spotlessly clean and well equipped with everything you could need in the kitchen. My only criticism is the quality of the WiFi, we didn't have a problem until the 4th evening when the WiFi connection was lost and did not come back before we left so we had about 48 hours without a connection. Normally this wouldn't bother me but as there is also no mobile signal and no 4G available inside the property, it was was completely cut off. Added to that was the Sky Glass tv (which was amazing) relies on the WiFi to be able to watch anything. I appreciate that when you're away you're not watching tv but in the evenings this is important and more so when you can't contact anyone or get access to online facilities. Apart from that though we really enjoyed it and I would recommend staying here. We would love to come back again in the summertime and get a different experience that comes with that time of year.

  Absolutely amazing. I am tempted to give Camlad Barn a poor review, only in the hope others don’t book and it is more available for my wife and I to return but that would be unfair and selfish. The setting of the property is outstanding with amazing views. It was immaculately clean and is equipped with everything that you would need. A large outdoor area to relax in with a lovely enclosed garden, pretty sitting area, separate allocated parking and hot tub which again, was immaculate and cleaned daily. The inside of the property is both spacious and very stylishly decorated and furnished. All the staff we came in contact with were incredibly friendly and gave excellent advise of local places to visit of which are many. If you want a fast paced, stressed, busy holiday with lots of people, vehicles and buildings this is not for you. If you want the absolute opposite, it is perfect. I can not recommend Camlad Barn enough and we cannot wait to go back. Oh, our 14 year old collie absolutely loved it as well.

  This cottage is by far the loveliest we’ve stayed in as a family.

  Isolated (be prepared for very narrow roads in places) and yet good connections to the most beautiful rural area, pretty villages and market towns. Surrounded by wildlife, birds, red kites hunting overhead, cows, bunnies and stunning views. The house was very comfortable, wifi worked well for us and we had no issues with mobile phone signal (O2). For an open, sociable space it felt very nooky and we all loved the private hot tub with a view and amazing for star gazing on clear nights. We received a lovely welcome from the owner and then we were left to it which suited us. We loved Ludlow, walked the market town and the castle perimeter and discover the weir where the children paddled. Hoo Zoo was great for the kids (9 & 6) and we absolutely loved Blists Hill Victorian Town, the BEST fish n chips we’ve ever had, a Victorian dress up and photo and the stunning area of Ironbridge. We’d have easily stayed longer than a week and wouldn’t hesitate to visit again.

  I wouldn't hesitate to recommend beautiful brylikky!

  Everything was perfect, the cottage was immaculate and so cosy and comfortable. The flowers and cake on arrival were a lovely touch from the wonderful hosts Emma and Edward. Emma was so lovely when I contacted her before our stay for recommendations for a meal for birthday celebrations. The cottage is in a lovely situation in the hills with wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. Emma was kind enough to take us and our grandchildren (staying nearby) to see the piglets that had not long been born and also some baby chick's, the kids loved this experience. Emma was also kind enough to allow them to stay with us one night for a sleepover (the kids not the chick's!) The hot tub was wonderful to relax in after a day spent exploring and a great place to star gaze. The skies were amazingly clear with no streetlights to spoil the view! All in all a fabulous stay, we definitely hope to return in the future! Thank you so much Emma! X
