    We’ve just spent 10 nights at Glebe Barn (family of 4 - children 7 and 4 years plus 3 small dogs!) and had a great time. The barn itself is spotlessly clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated and very well equipped with everything you might need but don’t really want to bring with you such as cleaning items, spare bedding and loads of towels, dog bowls/beds/biscuits, kitchen items (tea/coffee/some basic foods/eggs/oil/spices/dish washer tablets etc). We got a Sainsburys food delivery who had no trouble finding the barn and a Thai takeaway delivered one evening (which was very good) from Cleobury. Jan and Steve who own the barn live next door but are not at all obtrusive yet are always on hand if you need anything. They let the children feed the chickens and groom the Shetland ponies which they really enjoyed. The also directed us as to where all the local footpaths were and where we could explore on their land - our favourite was the small patch of woodland where the kids had a great time building a den. Despite its peaceful and rural location we found lots to do in area, all within a 30-60 minute drive - Severn Valley railway, loads of National Trust estates, Ludlow Castle, Ironbridge - all of which were both dog and child friendly which was great. However it was nice to also just be able to relax at the barn, for the kids to play in the garden and to explore the surrounding fields and woodland with the children and dogs. So all in all a lovely holiday and we would not hesitate to recommend Glebe barn to other guests.

    Just returned from a weeks' holiday here. The cottage has good quality furniture and everything you need, home from home. Lovely soft towels and plentiful. Great enclosed safe garden for our small dog. Jan, the owner was very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The countryside is beautiful and we enjoyed walking in the area which is very "up hill and down dale", walking shoes/boots essential, don't rely on just trainers!

    We had a fantastic experience here at Glebe Barn. Jan and Steve couldn't have gone out of their way more if they tried eventhough it was part of their daily routine. They were fantastic hosts and couldn't have been more welcoming. From the minute we booked to the minute we left, everything was amazing. They have thought of everything, which allows you to have a home from home experience. Ample space to live and walk the dog. Fall in love with nature being here as there are plenty of walks you can do. There isn't much around but the shops and local villages are a short drive. Loved the little things, which just show they go out of their way to make your stay accommodating: wellies in every size; dog treats, fresh eggs, fresh flowers, dressing gown-the list could go on. Give Glebe Barn a go, lovely experience. Would love to come back! X
