About this property

The Timber Barn is a charming, renovated barn conversion within a group of three separate properties in a pretty, rural spot on the Downton Estate.

The Timber Barn is a beautiful barn conversion, renovated to offer a superior level of comfort. The owners have been careful to ensure that the property has retained its original rural charm and character, while taking advantage of its setting to ensure guests have wonderful views of the picturesque landscape all around. The garden looks out across rolling countryside where walkers enjoy this breath-taking scenery. One of the delights of staying here is the fact that an award-winning restaurant, Old Downton Lodge, is literally just a two-minute walk from the front door.

The open-plan living area has some superb views of the rolling landscapes of the Downton Estate, which extends to nearly 5,000 acres along the Herefordshire and Shropshire borders. There are plenty of footpaths through the woods and the area is famed for the beautiful Shropshire Hills. You’re also within easy reach of Ludlow, a thriving medieval market town with a beautiful and historic castle perched on a cliff overlooking the River Teme.

Also available to book at this beautiful location are: The Stone Barn and The Cart Shed. Perfect as a group booking for a special celebration or gathering. Just a mile away and still on the estate is the lovely Wassell Barn; a fabulous barn conversion sleeping six guests.

Additional Information:

Two well-behaved dogs welcome (small additional charge). Please note the garden is not completely dog proof as seen by the images.

Sorry, no children. Babies under 6 months welcome, please bring your own travel cot and high chair.

Walkers and farm workers wander by the garden occasionally.

Within two minutes walking distance to an award winning restaurant.

Two electric vehicle chargers are available to share between the Downton Estate properties, located 0.6 miles away in the Estate Office car park.

    The accommodation is furnish med to a very high standard and incredibly well equipped. The quality of the kitchen and its contents was first class. The welcome pack is, without any shadow of a doubt, the best and most generous we have ever been lucky enough to have. A real bonus! Timber Barns had a lovely outlook and the estate is fabulous for walking. Ludlow is very convenient and the Ludlow Farm Shop is definitely’destination’ worth visiting.
