About this property

Glebe Barn, Detached Quaint Barn Conversion in Farlow, Shropshire DOGS WELCOME

Glebe Barn is a detached 2-bedroomed single story barn conversion sitting alongside Glebe Farm and set in 30 acres of our own pasture and woodland that visitors are welcome to explore. The holiday barn has an open plan living area featuring a log burner (logs included), flat screen TV with built in DVD player, fully fitted kitchen and a dining space with table & 4 chairs. Early November 2017 a brand new state of the art central heating system was installed, in 2018 new double glazed windows through out, 2019 new floor coverings and in 2020 a new kitchen. There's a twin bedroom with en-suite shower room, a double bedroom and a bathroom with bath and shower. The barn sleeps 4 people and has a travel cot that can be placed in either of the bedrooms. For anyone travelling with small children, there's a high chair and a fireguard that clips securely to the wall. The kitchen has a hob, oven, fridge/freezer, microwave & dishwasher. There’s fenced secure front and rear garden areas with a patio accessed via French doors from the living space. The private garden areas make it perfect for eating out doors and there's 2 seating areas with patio tables & chairs, perfect for family meals. Right next to the barn there's parking for several cars. If you're bringing bikes along with you we have a locked outbuilding they can be put in.
Bed linen, towels and heating and logs for the fire are included. We travel & self cater a lot and find it's so inconvenient to have to take items like washing up liquid, dish washer tablets, tea towels, dish cloths, pan scourers, salt, pepper, vinegar etc, so we provide those. We also supply you with enough tea, coffee, sugar & toiletries/loo rolls to get you keep you going for the first 3 or 4 days too.

Positioned on the edge of the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Beauty (ANOB) you’ll discover a special and varied landscape with stunning views, an abundance of wildlife and a wide range of activities. For those wanting to step out, there’s a network of footpaths direct from the door. Within easy walking distance you’ll find the open areas of Silvington & Catherton Common, the Clee Hills, nature reserves and even a small pub that used to be the local jail.
It’s about a 30-minute walk to Catherton Common (owned by the Shropshire Wildlife Trust) a wild and beautiful place, crossed with footpaths and home to a litany of rare plants including bog asphodel, bog pimpernel, marsh lousewort and sundews.
Brown Clee, the highest point in Shropshire, can be seen from the window of the holiday cottage and is a short drive away - or a full day hike! Titterstone Clee Hill can be visited on foot from the cottage (about an eight-mile round trip) or just a short drive for the not so energetic if you just want to head up there for the spectacular views from the top. Elsewhere in the AONB are other famous walks including along Wenlock Edge, around Church Stretton, the Wrekin and of course the Stiperstones. If you're familiar with the well known Social Media page (the one with the blue F logo), you can find more info about the area on The Glebe Barn At Farlow page.

Complete Comfort
This year I wanted to "run away" to be alone at Christmas and could not have wished for a more perfect escape. Glebe Barn seems to be in the Middle of Nowhere but is so well placed for touring the area ... Even though I was only there for a short time. Everything you could possibly need was available and a later investigation found all kinds of extras alongside provisions for children and dogs! It was Christmas and there were some lovely decorations as well as a hamper of treats and some fridge basics. The log fire was already burning and it wasn't long before I was settled in front of the living room TV (there are 2 other tvs in 2 double bedrooms, one of which has it's own en-suite shower room and another bathroom with deep bath and shower. There was so much space and I felt immediately at home with plenty of kitchenware, not forgetting the dishwasher, washing machine and tumble drier. I do not own a dog but there are so many extras for pets, as well as young children needs and I very much want to tell my nieces about the facilities for any children and dogs. Those not used to dogs might find the initial "doggy smell" worrying but I found that by the time the log fire had taken hold and I was making my 1st meal it was gone! Glebe Barn is one of the very best self-catering establishments I have ever visited. It is so clean and organised as well as provision for anything you could possibly need during your stay. I so much want to return asap and it is rare I feel like that. Unfortunately 2023 is already looking like a busy year but I would certainly contact Glebe Barn if I ever found a few free days.

About the host

Hosted by Jan Freeman

Host profile image
We bought The Glebe Farm after falling in love with the area and since the farm had a holiday cottage along side that had been successfully rented out we decided to up date and decorate and offer the barn as holiday accommodation. We owned a holiday let previously when we lived in rural Cheshire some years ago. We love the countryside, walking, local history and nature.

Why they chose this property

While we lived in Cheshire, we often had short breaks in the Shropshire area and particularly loved visiting Ludlow and the Shropshire Hills. Farlow is right on the edge of Catherton & Silvington commons and is a mere 8 miles from Ludlow. We couldn't believe our luck when the farm came on the market. It's perfect for us and we're sure you'll love it too.

What makes this property unique

Glebe barn is detached, having it's own well fenced front & rear garden area so ideal if you have a pets or children you need to contain! Our farm house is next door and we're here to offer any help or advice if needed. If you'd rather be left alone to get on with things yourself, that's fine too, but we're here if you need us. Guests are welcome to explore our 30 acres of pasture and woodland. Also living on the farm are our neighbours cattle, our horses, our 2 dogs, a can and a small flock of hens.
