Glebe Barn, Caynham

From the moment we booked this family break to celebrate my Wife’s 50th I felt confident that this would be perfect. The owner, Ian, was a pleasure to deal with prior to arriving and welcomed us upon our arrival to ensure that we were suitably comfortable. Glebe Barn itself is a fantastic place to locate yourself for a break near Ludlow and the surrounding Shropshire countryside. We stayed with our Son, Daughter, their partners and our Grandson and the Barn was more than large enough to allow us all to relax without feeling on top of each other. The large, high spec kitchen is a fantastic place to spend mealtimes and contains all the basics you need to be suitably catered for. The lounge area was extremely relaxing with an array of comfortable leather furniture and a wood-burning stove that made it hard to leave at the end of our break. All bedrooms are extremely comfortable and wee laid out with the master, family and double all ideal for their purpose. During our stay, we had rabbits, pheasants and red kites during the day and we particularly enjoyed listening to the community of tawny owls hooting during the evening and nighttime. The whole place was spotlessly clean and fresh, which we were keen to maintain during our stay and prior to leaving. To conclude, what else could we have asked for?………….Nothing

This barn is excellent, everything you need is on site, the owners are on site to give assistance if needed but not watching over us. Would certainly recommend and a lovely place to share for a family occasion.

Just got back from a family weekend at the barn and I have to say the place was superb. There were 6 adults and 2 children in our party (4 year old and 7 month old boys) The views from the barn are stunning, open fields for miles around. There's a nice big area for children to play inside the barn gates but over the field is a swing, chickens and a trampoline. The people who own the property are very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. They made sure the BBQ was available for us and we were lucky with the weather so all went well. The living room is very spacious with 3 sofas and 2 single seater, the kitchen is huge with a massive dining room table. The bedrooms were nice and big and the main bathroom was nice and big with a bath and walk in shower. The tv is a bit old BUT we only put it on for dvds for the kids so this didn't effect our stay at all. There is a log fire which was nice on the first night. I couldn't fault this place and would definitely love to go back. I can imagine it's gorgeous at Christmas time. Location is ideal only 2 miles from Ludlow. All in all we had a brilliant time and I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Great for a family weekend or week holiday.

We had a lovely fortnight at the Glebe Barn with our two young children aged 2 and 5. It is beautiful, spacious, well-equipped and well-laid-out; great for playing hide-and seek! There is a lovely lawned garden with table and chairs, a large umbrella and clothes airer; and 'field' beyond that has a trampoline, swing, chicken coop and tons of space to run around. The owners and their parents were very friendly, lending us some garden toys, giving us fresh eggs and clean linen and towels during our stay. We really appreciated having the dishwasher, washer/drier and wonderful power showers! We cooked many meals in the huge kitchen - Ludlow is a real foodie place and we enjoyed buying some lovely local produce. There is a market nearly everyday, farmers market and well-priced butcher. The barn has a small selection of books, DVDs, jigsaw puzzles and a few games. We found the local info. pamphlets very useful. The recently installed wifi was great with a good, strong signal, mobile phone reception is good here too. The TV has freesat, but unfortunately didn't have the CBeebies channel :-(. There is no CD or MP3 player, but there was a DAB radio in the kitchen. The 3 sofas and 2 chairs in the living room were practical but not comfortable and the plastic material left us feeling rather sweaty. There were also many cobwebs throughout the barn. However, the Glebe Barn is well set up for families. Our youngest was comfortable in the large wooden cot. The highchair was a bit tired, but invaluable once we figured out how to strap him in! I should also mention that there is black-out lining on the curtains in the two double rooms, which we really appreciated, but not in the family room. There are some great local attractions that proved to be good places to visit with the children: Ludlow Castle, Croft Castle, Hampton Court Castle, Severn Valley Railway, The Waterworks Museum (Hereford), shropshire Hills Discovery Centre, swimming at Teme Leisure, local playgrounds in Ludlow and Tenbury Wells.

Glebe Barn was probably the best cottage we experienced .... and that's across western Europe and UK. We still return to Ludlow when passing through, the owners were kind and helpful.

Glebe Barn is the best self catering property that we have rented so far, must be a first as we can be fussy.

Beautifully appointed barn conversion. Well equipped kitchen. Lovely airy rooms with nice comfortable beds. Great location for exploring Shropshire and North Wales. Friendly owners.

Glebe Barn was excellent. The barn was brilliantly located and ideal for walking, exploring and relaxing! The barn was beautifully clean, modern and had everything we needed for a great holiday. I'm sure we will be visiting again and would definitely recommend!

A lovely comfortable and well appointed house in a quiet location. Would happily go back again in the future.

Everything was pretty perfect, the property was very clean and easy to find, situated in a very peaceful location and with the friendly owners nearby. I would happily stay there again and recommend it to my friends and family.

The Barn provides total relaxation in a beautiful setting. Everything you could possibly want is available.

A great, quiet location with friendly owners. The property is spacious and well equipped, and we would thoroughly recommend it.

Me and my friends thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Glebe Barn. The Barn surpassed all our expectations and the owner and their family couldn't have been more welcoming, ensuring we all had a relaxing and enjoyable stay. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing break in breathtaking scenery.

Fantastic hosts and a divine place to stay. Next time we won't wait six years before returning.

Liked the scenery. A modern property but with original barn features, very well presented property with everything you could need; lovely log burner, excellent bathrooms and comfortable beds.

Great size for 2 families to meet up for a pre-Christmas break. We're considering booking again for 2015. Very friendly owners! Great property, great location, very peaceful but close enough to Ludlow. Lovely walks, beautiful countryside location. Fab break!

A beautiful house with lots of space for 6 adults and 2 babies. Everything was in working order and in excellent condition. Plenty of space to park 3 large cars.

Great property and the owners were really friendly. There was so much outdoor space for the children to enjoy. Great property for families or small groups.

Home from home, very relaxing. First time we've done this but would definitely do it again.

We stayed here for a few days in autumn and loved every minute of it. The barn is wonderfully spacious, warm (too warm? That underfloor heating was so efficient! This was a bit upsetting as it meant we couldn't use the fire!) and nicely situated a short drive from Ludlow. We stayed during a half term so we paid a bit more than it's usually available for, but that's my own fault for marrying a teacher. A week's stay out of term time is very appealing. The owners were on hand for any questions we had but we tried our best to leave them alone. Lovely couple. Only slight drawback was that there wasn't a pub within walking distance but not a problem really as we were more than happy to stay tucked up in the house after dark. Highly recommended.

Nice and spacious. Handy for Ludlow.

Glebe Barn is a spacious and well-appointed place for a holiday. The area around Ludlow is really interesting, even in mid November and we found plenty to do. There are beautiful local churches, good walks and a range of good restaurants. Ludlow Market was a good place to browse and buy. The owners are really friendly and helpful and made our stay a relaxed and pleasant one.

It was spacious yet warm and cosy. Very tastefully decorated to a high standard. A beautiful barn conversion. The owners were charming and friendly.

I cannot rate this barn highly enough - it is large , comfortable and is as plush and luxurious as is reflected in the photos.

Perfect place for a perfect holiday!

It is certainly the best self catering property we have had. Just being able to ask the owners questions on things in the local area was a big bonus.

The property exceeded our expectations in terms of it's size and quality. The kitchen was very well equipped and we were particularly pleased to have a barbecue provided. We were made to feel welcome by the owner who kindly allowed our granddaughter to use the trampoline. The location was excellent for exploring the lovely countryside and towns in the surrounding area. Overall the experience was superb.

All aspects of this cottage rate as excellent. Luxurious accommodation, peaceful location and wonderfully helpful owner/neighbours.Everything was carefully thought out and well furnished. The wood burning stove, underfloor heating, fabulous showers, fantastic kitchen and dining room, comfy beds ... Just wonderful !!

Everything about this highly appointed property leads to relaxation, the main focus of our stay. The owners were particularly welcoming and very helpful, but unobtrusive. The quietness of the location was amazing, again conducive to a thoroughly enjoyable stay.

All round excellent stay. Spacious accommodation and very well equipped. Lovely countryside and yet also close to local towns with places of interest and NT properties etc. Very friendly owner. Would thoroughly recommend it.

The property and its location was central to a number of attractions that we wanted to visit. It was very nicely decorated and homely, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend. Very clean.

A very nice property in a good location. The owner who lives next door was always on hand if needed, we could not wish for more.

A year later and we are still re-living the holiday, and accommodation itself holds special memories for us. My 18 yr old daughter says it was the best holiday of her life. We travelled from australia to stay in Ludlow and it was magic. The barn is huge inside and gave more than enough space for 8 people which included grandparents. We loved the character features, the huge kitchen layout with every utensil you could wish for. the bathrooms were high spec and well done too. Its the kind of place you can hang around in the day time if you are too tired of sight seeing and just kick back. This was the highlight of our 6 months journey. And a big thank you to the owners for your kindness to us! We'll be back ...one day...

A very convenient cottage, well equipped and comfortable.

We loved Glebe Barn. It was ideal for a family get together. The location was good for all ages, near Ludlow and many National Trust properties. The barn had all the facilities you require,with large modern kitchen where we could all gather.Light and spacious, we especially liked the modern en-suite to master bedroom, and lovely lounge.

The cottage was amazing. There was plenty of room for all of us without feeling crowded. It was brilliant to have stairgates already installed and, although we didn't need to use the cot, it was very good quality.

The owners were really helpful and accommodating. The location was excellent and the barn conversion was impressive.

We were absolutely delighted by this cottage for our family of 6 adults and a baby.There was plenty of room to be comfortable and we loved our dinners round the large table.

Glebe Barn was the best holiday cottage we have ever stayed in. The facilities were terrific and the owners, made us more than welcome. The milk, tea and biscuits waiting for us when we arrived were appreciated as was their kindness shown on the birthday of two of our party. There are so many lovely places to visit and we all loved Ludlow which is very close.

Wonderful conversion greatly admired by us, living as we do in the beautiful Cotswolds. The family were super to and the barn was beautifully presented for us. We had a perfectly lovely time and the quality of the Barn and its contents were indeed five stars. Wonderful!

The size of The Barn was perfect - enough room to feel like we weren't all on top of each other. Really good location for nearby Ludlow, National Trust properties and walking.

Fantastic property, really nicely renovated to provide top-class holiday accommodation. Lovely area with lots to do in the area. Would definitely return.

Excellent venue. Close to Ludlow.

An excellent property in a beautiful part of the world. Whilst being extremely spacious the property also managed to feel warm and cosy. Thoroughly recommended

The owners were great hosts. The barn was warm, morning and night. The wood burner. The showers. Barn in lovely setting. Barn conducive to accommodating young children.

The couple welcomed us with a homemade fruit cake. The barn is stunning, beautiful and unique. It was a pleasure and treat to stay there.

A lovely converted barn, clean, modern and bright. Would definitely go again and would recommend it.

I thought this property was excellent. The owners were very friendly and the property was presented in great condition. Top marks!

A really spacious, clean and comfortable property. It was really nice that a 'proper' cot had been set up with plenty of bedding.

The occasion was my wife's 70th birthday. We arrived to find a bowl of flowers together with a card.
