Guests say

Tree House Barn in Shropshire is a well-received holiday rental, praised for its peaceful and remote location, cleanliness, and spaciousness. Guests appreciate the secure garden for dogs, the warm and cosy atmosphere, and the helpful property manager. While some guests mention issues with the access road and the comfort of the beds, the overall experience is one of tranquillity and relaxation, with many expressing a desire to return.

The property is consistently described as clean and tidy, with several guests highlighting its immaculate condition. There are minor mentions of cobwebs and spiders, but these do not detract significantly from the overall perception of cleanliness.

The location is highly praised for its peacefulness and beautiful rural setting. The remote aspect is appreciated by many, although the access road's condition is noted as a concern. The proximity to Shrewsbury and local attractions adds to the appeal.

Comfort receives positive remarks for cosy beds and underfloor heating, but there are several complaints about the quality of the mattresses and seating arrangements. The balance of feedback suggests that while generally comfortable, there is room for improvement in this area.

Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and spacious rooms. However, there are recurring issues with Wi-Fi, a broken window, and maintenance concerns such as the need for a deep clean and updates to furniture and outdoor areas.

While some guests mention welcome gifts such as biscuits and bubbly, there are not enough references to consistently evaluate the thoughtfulness of the hosts. As such, it is not possible to provide a score, but guests should note that such gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.

About this property

Shrewsbury 7 miles. A beautifully restored barn conversion resting within the Pitchford Estate, Tree House Barn is a single-storey dwelling sleeping four guests in rural Shropshire. Set on the dairy cow grazed fields of Pitchford Park Farm, one of the three working farms on the Pitchford Estate, Tree House Barn is an eco-friendly escape, with water coming from a nearby well and renewable energy from an air source heat pump and the Estate's solar farm. Step inside the contemporary open-plan living space where underfloor heating will warm you in the colder months whilst you socialise with your loved ones in this bright and spacious setting. A TV with a DVD player sits in the corner when you fancy a film night, with a sofa and armchairs to relax on; it's the perfect place to wind down after a day of walking in the surrounding countryside. Take a seat at the stylish breakfast bar overlooking the sleek fitted kitchen and keep the chef of your group company whilst they rustle up some delicious home-cooked food for all, with excellent appliances at hand including an electric hob and built in oven and microwave. The bedrooms lie at either end of the property, with the first bedroom boasting a king-size bed and a beautiful roll top bath and basin within the room, whilst the WC rests in a separate en-suite. The second bedroom is home to twin beds and benefits from an en-suite shower room behind a curtain, letting you step into a refreshing shower first thing. Enjoy time outside in your own private enclosed garden, with your canine companions sure to love this large lawn space. Tree House Barn earned its name thanks to what could be the oldest tree house in the world, Tree House at Pitchford, first appearing in records in 1692 and visited by a young Queen Victoria. Pitchford Hall is a Grade I listed property holding a great deal of history, with the extensive grounds being open to guests to roam, coming across lakes, hills and fields with opportunities to spot local wildlife!

Visit the imposing, redbrick Shrewsbury Castle now home to the Shropshire Regimental Museum which contains all manner of armed forces artefacts dating from the 18th century to the present day, whilst Shrewsbury Abbey is what remains of the original Norman Benedictine Monastery built in 1083 and is well worth a visit for history enthusiasts. Travel on Britain's steepest railway in Bridgnorth, enjoying scenic cliff top views at the top overlooking the beautiful River Severn, or head to the medieval market town of Much Wenlock. The ruins of Acton Burnell Castle are striking and can be incorporated into a walk right from the Pitchford Estate, whilst the amazing Wroxeter Roman City from the 2nd century is an amazing sight to behold!

    IT HAS JUST COST US TODAY £60 TO GET THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR CLEANED ON THE CAR.

  • Simon

    It was spotlessly clean. Very well equipped. The location was quiet and unspoilt views surrounding it. Would highly recommend.

  • Lynda

    The cottage and surroundings were lovely and quiet with wildlife in abundance (deer, hare, red kite, fox etc) The garden was fine for our dog; being small and an escape artist he needed to be kept on a longline in the garden but we expected this and he's used to it on holiday. Loved the kitchen, space, views, silence, dark night skies. Thank you!
