Located in the quaint Shropshire village of Hope Bowdler, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this nineteenth-century barn conversion boasts views of the surrounding countryside. As an adults-only home, it’s perfect for a romantic getaway or a solo break, and with countless walking routes on the doorstep, keen hikers will be spoilt for choice. The barn is located next to another house, so you won’t have complete privacy here, but you will have your own private patio where you can enjoy an alfresco meal while admiring the rural views.

About The Shropshire Hills
