This was easily the best equipped, the best situated and the most spacious and comfortable holiday house we have stayed in ! Our family loved it, the outdoor space was delightful with lovely views and hikes from the back door. The beds showers and indoor and outdoor sofas were very comfortable and the gas bbq was great for sunny evening meals.

We were really looking forward to our holiday at Huglith Farm and we were not disappointed.. Huglith was everything that we were hoping for and more. It made our family Christmas extra special and we didn't want to leave. The property and setting were perfect and the owner was very friendly. There was nothing that we would have changed although my daughter would have liked to have stayed for longer as she loved it! We would definitely recommend Huglith Farm to others and will be back. Thank you Prunella for the lovely welcome and the extras that were left.

What a great location , a great welcome from the owners on arrival and a few things to get you started .. The photos don’t really do the location and the interior justice it’s a must visit , we all enjoyed the stay .

Huglith Farm was one place where the pictures really couldn't do the location justice.. Stunning location and exceptional views, especially from the top of the nearby hill. The location is very rural, so it might add a little time to travel for day trips, but the payoff is a very peaceful location with no traffic noise whatsoever! The only noises you'll hear are from the buzzards, red kites, owls, ravens and the resident cows at the farm. The farm itself is beautifully appointed but also has a very homely quality about it. All the rooms are well proportioned and comfortable. Thoroughly enjoyed our day trips to Ludlow, Stiperstones, the Long Mynd, Church Stretton, Shrewsbury and Berrington Hall. The Nags Head at Pontesbury was a consistent eatery: all seven in our party enjoyed their meals there on two separate occasions. The owners at Huglith Farm were very welcoming and friendly and provided some nice touches, like freshly picked mushrooms. Certainly a place I would happily come back to again. As noted by another user though, it's a shame Sykes Holidays bombard you with daily emails. I enjoyed their holiday but would I want to book a holiday every day from them? Not likely! But that wouldn't put me off booking again at Huglith Farm.

Dr Ricketts

Too many junk emails from Sykes themselves - enough to put me off using them again!

The house was situated away from main roads, but the roads to it were good although narrow.. The track up to the house was quite rough but slow driving up it didn't cause any problems. There was a warm welcome from the owner. The house was lovely, very clean and well equipped. There were fresh flowers in the hallway which was a lovely touch and lovely planters outside along with ample seating for all of us. The teenagers with us enjoyed the outside for going exploring and the wifi for continuing to use their computers and phones. The house was situated in glorious countryside with amazing views and we enjoyed watching buzzards flying, seeing pheasants and hearing the lowing of cattle. Very peaceful place to recharge batteries.

Huglith Farm was everything we could wish, and more.. A stunning setting, and a beautiful house, with heaps of little extras to enjoy. Sitting out on the decking with a glass of wine, left by the owners, enjoying the tranquillity and gorgeous views in the setting sun - what a way to start a holiday! Plenty to do in the area, from Stokesay Castle, a gem of an ancient manor house, to the little steam railway at Telford - just what excited a train-mad three year-old - and the charming town of Ludlow with its market. All lovely!

We booked for the Christmas period and were delighted to receive a warm welcome from the owners who were always ready to assist at any moment. Much information was available about the local surroundings and walkways. Huglith Farm offers the chance to relax in beautifully secluded, country surroundings and I would highly recommend it for families of all ages.
