Overview
Property code: 52146

Enjoy the best of rural tranquillity and bustling market life. The barn's peaceful hillside location on the edge of a beautiful forest allows you to enjoy spectacular country views and walks whilst still being within walking distance of Ludlow, a thriving market town and an architectural gem. Surrounded by the countryside of South Shropshire, Ludlow is busy throughout the year with events and festivals celebrating good food, music, arts, crafts, theatre and walking; with the Ludlow Food and Drink Festival held every September. For keen walkers enjoy the Mary Webb trail, The Shropshire Way and Offa’s Dyke, all within easy reach; and for day tripping take why not visit Stokesay castle, Wenlock Priory and Severn valley railway. The famous Hay-on-Wye is also only a 40 minute drive - a literary delight throughout the year, with its renowned festival in May and June.

After a day exploring, kick off your boots and step into the dining room where the stone flags with under floor heating and exposed staircase will simply take your breath away, the dining table and chairs provided are the perfect props for any dinner party or simple Sunday lunch. Pass on through to the lounge, the cosy seating area warmed with a wood burner is great for a movie night in front of the TV/DVD or game of cards. Steps up into the kitchen with a centre island and wooden benches for friends to gather and enjoy a glass of wine. Well-equipped with two eye level electric ovens and hob, microwave, large fridge/freezer with ice maker and dishwasher. The utility room with WC and washing machine is also on this floor, and when the sun sets and it’s time to rest you will find a twin bedroom on this floor too. Follow the main staircase where you will find two bedrooms with high quality beds throughout the property, one super-king-size zip-and-link (which can be made into a twin on request) with en-suite shower over bath and WC and one king-size with en-suite bathroom with shower and WC. Follow the smaller staircase at the opposite end of the barn where you will find one double and en-suite bathroom with stylish slipper bath, separate shower and WC.

Take a step outside and enjoy the sunrise across the countryside, the landscaped grounds with large patio area is great for entertaining with table, chairs and BBQ.  And for summer evenings watching the stars follow the steps down to the snug carved into the hillside and enjoy the warmth of the kadai fire pit with all of the accompanyments.

Jacks Barn was a wonderful cottage for a family holiday. It is in a stunning location and the cottage was immaculately clean and had everything we could want for in the way of facilities and equipment. We had a warm and friendly greeting and helpful advice on things to do and places to go. We have no hesitation in giving 5 stars.

Peace & quiet, stunning panoramic views, and a very spacious, comfortable barn. Good plumbing, comfy beds and sofas, well equipped kitchen. Excellent base for exploring Shropshire. Had hoped to walk into Ludlow and back, but was further than expected, and all uphill on return- a bit too much after walking all day.
