So relaxing, the peaceful location was delightful.. The view from the cottage was superb, and the helpful owners next door told us how to walk to the hill fort nearby. Could not have enjoyed our week more.

Mrs Clements

Great cottage.. Comfortable beds and sofas. Very clean. Lovely view and friendly owners. Plenty of room and a bonus to have two ensuite rooms. Would recommend to anyone.

The cottage was really lovely a home from home.. It was clean and tidy and everything we needed for our stay. Beautiful countryside views and very peaceful. The sign for the cottage was a little hard to see from the road but that was the only thing. Not far from Ludlow and other places of interest. A co/op store was only a short drive away. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Mrs Burton

October 2018

We had a lovely holiday (in spite of the rather damp weather).. The cottage was very comfortable and we really enjoyed exploring an area we hadn’t visited before.

Mr Baker

September 2018

This is a place which I would readily recommend.. I think that an individual would need to be particularly pedantic to find fault with the "Old Brye". It's location is ideal for exploring Shropshire and adjoining counties. Shopping facilities, petrol station and the "Squirrel" pub are only two and a half miles away and nearby is the Ludlow Park and Ride, which I would recommend the use of for visits into Ludlow town. The owners, Ray and Jill, were both friendly and helpful and not intrusive. My wife and myself really enjoyed our stay.

Ms Moorhouse

Fabulous cottage.. Very warm and comfortable, lovely location, walks from the cottage. Friendly cow’s in the barn. Very friendly and helpful owners. Nearby Ludlow has lots of nice bars and restaurants.

Mrs Hughes, September 2016

August 2016

This is a beautiful cottage with everything you could possibly need for a quiet relaxing holiday in peaceful surroundings.. the twin bedroom was a bit small for two adults but as you don't spend much time in it, it doesn't matter. the only other gripe was that the towels were smaller than we are used to but we managed. would definitely go back as everything else is so good including the friendly hosts.

The house was immaculate and very well equipped. The underfloor heating and gas fire made it very cosy and warm on cold days, and the west facing patio was ideal when the weather became warmer. There is a beautiful outlook over fields, and the house is well located for exploring the area.

We chose The Old Byre because of its location and because it had 2 bedrooms, both of which were en suite. We were not expecting such a stunning cottage. Everything was perfect; from the underfloor heating to the magnificent gas fire in the living area. The owner of the cottage was most welcoming and informative. The Old Byre is thoroughly recommended for all occasions.

Miss Ruddick

The Byre was homely, very fresh and clean. We particularly loved the fire and comfortable sofas. There were beautiful views from the property and it had a relaxed feel about it.

We have been in many five star cottages in England and many Swiss and Austrian Hotels that have been five star. This cottage is beautiful and the standard of the cottage is definitely five star as well as being in a delightful area. Caynham village is only three miles from historic Ludlow. We arrived on Friday to a warm welcome from the owner Ray who with his wife Jill were very friendly and helpful. The cottage is open plan but thoughtfully designed so that it was extremely cosy as well as being thoroughly modern and up to date.All the appliances and furniture were lovely. There were two bedrooms both en suite and very comfortable. The lounge had two reclining sofas with floor to ceiling duplex windows which looked out onto a beautiful vista of fields and trees. There was a dining room and all the furniture was of light oak - it all fitted perfectly with the beamed byre. We found it great being only three miles from Ludlow but right in the countryside.We even heard barn owls at night which sounded as though they were sat on our roof. We would absolutely recommend this cottage for a really relaxing and comforable break. Would return in a heartbeat.

Stayed at this delightful cottage for one week, wish it could have been longer. It's a very well appointed cottage, with both bedrooms having an ensuite each, comfortable beds, TV's in each bedroom, large comfortable lounge with decent size TV, gas fire (didn't need) nice dining room, large kitchen with everything you need. Downstairs toilet, underfloor heating throughout the cottage and lovely patio. The owners of the farm Ray & Jill are a delightful couple, very hospitable and a wealth of knowledge of the area. The cottage is only a short drive into Ludlow, if you're there Friday or Saturday they have a great market, great places to eat and the Ludlow Castle is worth a visit. We would thoroughly recommend this cottage to anyone visiting the Shropshire District
