  • Fantastic barn conversion offers a spacious rural retreat for the whole family 
  • Designed with accessibility in mind - features include wet room and accessible kitchen
  • A tranquil and cosy haven with exposed beams, wood burner and underfloor heating
Property code: OC-87695

This stunning barn conversion sits near Church Stretton, within the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and only 0.5 miles from the peaceful village of Cardington. An idyllic location with much to offer within 15 miles: ride a steam train on the Severn Valley Railway, visit Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site, or numerous National Trust properties. Explore the Shropshire Hills including the Long Mynd, renowned for gliding, the dramatic scenery of the Stiperstones, walk or cycle the Shropshire Way or enjoy a game at the second highest golf course in England. The market towns of Much Wenlock, Ludlow and Shrewsbury have independent eateries, shops and events celebrating good food, arts, crafts, horticulture and theatre.

This creatively designed barn has specifically been designed with accessible needs in mind - meaning there is superb level access and a wheelchair friendly wet room among a number of other features. It is full of interesting, thoughtful little extras to enhance your stay, including bio-mass underfloor heating and a cosy wood burner. Come through the porch with plenty of space for your outdoor attire, leading to the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, a lovely sociable space. Open the feature doors and let the outside in. Relax in the sofas, watch the Smart TV or light the wood burner for cosy nights in. Exploring this delightful property further, you will find four bedrooms. There is an accessible twin zip-and-link room (which can be prepared as super-king-size upon request) with Smart TV and sliding door to the wet room, and a king-size with a Jack-and-Jill shower room that can also be accessed from the hallway, then head down a few steps to the twin room with an en-suite shower room. Upstairs is the super-king-size zip-and-link (which can be prepared as a twin on request).

Heading outside, you are in for a treat in the enclosed garden with feature railings and gate to a paddock to exercise the dog. Relax on paved areas with feature planting for morning coffee, enjoy al fresco dining at the table and chairs or just sit back and enjoy the water feature and sounds of the local wildlife. Why not plan your visit for lambing season to experience farm life to its fullest and feed baby lambs.

We had wonderful time at Cow House. Jim and Alison were really attentive to our needs and made sure we were happy. The accommodation is absolutely lovely, really spotless and comfortable, with high quality furnishings and super comfy beds. We really appreciated the well-equipped kitchen and the treats left for us (lovely home-made cake, milk, breadRead more, butter). There is lots to do in the local area - we really enjoyed Shrewsbury Prison, Hawkstone Park Follies, the sculpture park at the British Ironworks Centre and a clim up Caer Caradoc. We also got to see and help feed the lambs, which was really lovely. Thank you again for a wonderful stay - we really felt the owners went above and beyond for us! Hide

Had the most amazing stay here. The hosts were so lovely leaving cakes, milk, butter, bread, tea coffee, ice cream and ice pops for us.

Even though this is a working farm, it is also very quiet, so great nights sleep had by all. Hide

I cannot recommend this holiday home enough especially for wheelchair users.

Cow House is excellent in all respects. There were 6 of us - a group of male friends of a certain age with one needing accessible facilities. Cow House is first rate for this and Alison was extremely helpful in setting things up as we required. Even Storm Amy could not dampen our enthusiasm for the accommodation and the area!

This accommodation is a real gem. It's in a beautiful setting with open countryside to the rear. It was spotlessly clean and contained everything that you could need. The owner provided some welcome groceries and delicious hand made cake - such a thoughtful touch.

If you are looking for quality accommodation that also provides for the needs of people with accessibility needs, then this is it- and from what we have found this sort of property is as rare as hen's teeth. The owners have given a great deal of thought in making this a perfect retreat for everyone, whilst also providing for wheelchair users.
