What our customers say about their holidays

  The owners were friendly, welcoming and cheery - clearly very nice people.

  The property was clean and well equipped. There was parking outside the gates of the property. The reason for my low score is that I don't think the information about this property is strictly true. Downstairs was a very small kitchen space, so small that the table and one chair were under the stairs (don't stand up too quickly!). The table could be pulled out into the kitchen area if two people needed to use it (I stayed there on my own) I suppose. However, that would have meant placing the table directly outside the bathroom (with toilet) door. I have to be honest and say that I would not have booked if I had known there was just a single door separating the kitchen and toilet. Upstairs was as described, with a spacious living room and bedroom. However, the living room room is over part of the property that is not let but is used as a home office (the large glass door / window in the picture). I booked the property to visit certain places in the area, but also to spend some time just relaxing, studying and reading. Unfortunately, noise from the office below rather spoiled this. It is not that the person was particularly noisy but I was able to hear movement, doors slamming and phone calls. It was more like staying in a poorly insulated flat. I appreciate the property belongs to the owners and they can use it and let it as they want to but I feel potential holiday renters should be made aware that they will be staying above an office. Had there not been the issues listed above, I would not have mentioned the other noise issue, but other holidaymakers do need to be aware. The owners have two gorgeous, friendly dogs (I am a dog owner). On one evening, the dogs were, I can only assume, left home alone, which is the right of the owners to do, of course. However, from Foxholes Barn (living room, kitchen and bedroom) I could clearly hear the dogs barking frequently all evening until after 11.15pm. I feel disappointed that this property, in my opinion, was not described accurately and would be reluctant to trust the information provided by Sykes again.

The Goose Nest was cleaned to a very high standard ,and to say it’s right in the middle of the country side, not one speck of dust! amazing!! The views are stunning and you can see them from every window., have your camera at the ready for the beautiful sunset. The location is fab, everywhere is close enough to get to, Worstershire and Cheltenham are well worth a visit .

  We returned today, having the the pleasure of staying in Foxeholes Barn Shropshire, and I must say it was a delightful experience from start to finish.

  The hosts of the accommodation were nothing short of excellent. Their warm hospitality and attention to detail made me feel welcome and at home throughout my stay. They were always ready to assist with any inquiries and went above and beyond to ensure my comfort. Clare cooked us a fantastic meal for our first night. It was amazing. The location of the accommodation was truly enchanting. Nestled in the heart of Shropshire, surrounded by picturesque countryside, it provided a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The breathtaking views and serene atmosphere added an extra layer of relaxation to my stay, making it a perfect retreat. Speaking of the countryside, the natural beauty of Shropshire is simply unparalleled. The rolling hills, meandering rivers, and charming villages create a postcard-worthy setting. Exploring the local countryside was a highlight of my trip, and I appreciated the easy access from the accommodation to the scenic landscapes. Overall, my stay in Foxeholes Barn was a memorable and rejuvenating experience. The combination of excellent hosts, a idyllic location, and stunning countryside made it a perfect getaway. I would highly recommend Shropshire to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat with a touch of charm and hospitality.

  One of the greats!

  Been going away for my Birthday weekend for the last 11 years to a different spot in the countryside and Foxholes Barn in the Shropshire Hills will go down as one of the best weekends ever. Clare and Chris were just incredible hosts and their recommendations of where to eat made the break so much easier, as they were superb places. They also offered us before we arrived, the choice of a meal, which we took up and it was absolutely delicious. Foxholes Barn was warm, had everything we need to cook for ourselves, which we did for 2 of the nights, and was just a stress-free experience all round. We did three walks during our break, all with good hills and stunning views. I thought this was great value and I'd highly recommend!

  The warmth and hospitality of the owners, Clare and Chris, was great - the homemade cakes and home baked bread provided on arrival were lovely treats.

  And Gus, their friendly dog, readily accepted out small terrier. There are walks nearby and we were welcome to walk through their garden to their large field. We also took advantage of Clare's offer to provide very tasty meals for us, for a modest cost, on two evenings. A couple of minor tweaks needed maybe, in that the bedroom radiator didn't turn off properly and the shower control was stiff to turn on, but the helpfulness of Clare and Mike easily compensated for this. They also keep chickens in a very upmarket hen house - a Hilton hotel for chickens - so on leaving we bought a dozen eggs to take home. A memorable stay and the owners being on site meant there was a lovely personal, but not intrusive, touch.
