Very relaxing holiday in a home from home.. Everything you could need is provided in the well equipped kitchen and the added bonus of full caddies of tea, coffee & sugar. There is also a separate utility room for washing and drying and a freezer with 2 drawers allocated to each of the 2 apartments. Really lovely building, huge comfortable sofas, powerful hot shower. Had a lovely walk from the door to Flounders Folly on Wenlock edge and a great base for visiting Ludlow, Church Stretton & the Shropshire hills. Would thoroughly recommend just for the homemade welcome brownies

The Gallery is a beautifully presented apartment, retaining many original features of the old Malthouse.. We found it to be extremely spacious, comfortable and well equipped. Outdoor seating was available in the patio garden which was a real sun trap, attracting lots of butterflies. Pat and Gary, the owner's, were very welcoming and helpful. Strefford provided us with a peaceful base from which to explore the surrounding area. An excellent choice and highly recommended.

Excellent accommodation and equipped to a very high standard.. Spotlessly clean, spacious and bright throughout. Pat and Gary the hosts were warm and friendly, nothing was too much trouble, which included being rescued from being locked in the Park and Ride at Bridgnorth. Thank you again.

This is a fantastic, top quality, unique apartment, with everything you can possibly need provided by the friendly owners Pat and Gary. It has a very large living area and adjoining modern kitchen, a separate bedroom with comfortable double bed and en-suite modern bathroom. There is also another bedroom. Outside there is a parking place available. It is situated in a lovely peaceful village a couple of miles outside Craven Arms and we found it very well placed for all the lovely walks in the area. The apartment is excellent value for money. I would highly recommend staying here, you will not regret it. We shall return for more visits without a doubt.

Mrs Casey, October 2018
October 2018
Our stay at The Gallery was absolutely delightful.. We received a warm welcome from Pat and Gary, who took the time to show us how everything worked and let us know where they were if we needed anything. There was also homemade cake, teabags, coffee and milk waiting for us. The accommodation was absolutely beautiful: immaculately clean, bigger than it had appeared in photos and a gorgeous blend of modern and traditional. The kitchen and bathroom equipment seemed very new and of a very good quality. The kitchen was well stocked with high quality pots, pans and pretty much everything else you could need! The information booklet was very handy, and I felt like Pat and Gary had taken the time to think of everything a guest could want or need and cater to it. This stay was excellent value for money. The Gallery has a lovely atmosphere, and the surrounding countryside is beautiful. This really is the ideal place to get away for total relaxation and I cannot recommend it highly enough. As for Sykes, the site was very easy to use and clear about what you could expect from where you were staying. The app is also a great feature!

The Gallery was a lovely place to stay; a thoughtful and interesting conversion of an old building which retains the best of the original features whilst providing all the comfort and convenience of modern living.. Pat and Gary were friendly and knowledgeable hosts and the area is beautiful - even on a showery day there is still plenty to see and do!
Mrs Bale, September 2018

The accommodation was absolutely stunning.. Beautifully presented, clean, spacious and comfortable. Equipped with everything you needed and more. Shropshire was superb for family time . With three children age 6 and under we found no shortage of things to do. All topped off with fabulous weather - it felt like we were in France. We will definitely be back and would love to stay at the Gallery or the Barley Store again!

It was a privilege to stay in this beautiful barn.. The architectural design is amazing, the fixtures and fittings are of the best quality - it had everything we needed and more for a one week stay. There are good walks from the door and many interesting places nearby. The owners, Pat & Gary, did everything they could to make our stay memorable and we would highly recommend this property.

We had such a lovely holiday at the Gallery.. It exceeded the pictures on the website - it was a lovely airy space with a beautiful large window looking out towards Wenlock Edge. The owners were very friendly and gave us advice of where to visit locally. There was also a nice area to sit outside and listen to the birds. A lovely relaxing holiday.

Gorgeous cottage, easy to find and felt like a little haven.. We both felt so very relaxed, it was exceptionally clean and tidy and we really couldn't have asked for a better weekend. Lovely owners too. Would definitely return.
Miss Down, November 2016
September 2016
We LOVED staying at the Gallery.. Upon our arrival we were completely blown away with the beauty of the property, and the location. It is even more lovely than the pictures. The property itself is tucked down a little country lane with some beautiful heritage properties around it. I would say it is the perfect place if you are looking to get away from it all. Craven Arms itself does not have much to offer, but it does have some beautiful, proper country walks and also a really nice Italian Restaurant (The White House) We had a car so we spent a couple of days exploring the surrounding areas and then just had a lazy day in. We have super fast paced lives, so switching off for us can be difficult… but it is fair to say we have come home feeling completely rested and rejuvenated. The Gallery was so cozy and homely, we just felt like time had stopped. Gary and Pat the owners are lovely!!! They made us feel so welcome and even left home made cake on the side for when we arrived. It went down very nicely with a cup of tea after a long drive. If we had to be REALLY picky and give a negative… the only thing we would say was the master bedroom mattress was a little too hard for our liking. But, we still slept like babies. Overall… We highly recommend this property!

This excellently converted malt store was done to the highest standard. The kitchen was fully fitted including a dishwasher and had everything you needed including dishwasher tablets. The beds were comfy and the pillows well supporting. Bathroom had an ample space shower for the larger person. The features of low beam and wheel looked great but caution is needed not to hit your head. There is also a utility room with freezer, washing machine and sink (boot cleaning). We found plenty to do in the area which we will be writing reviews about. The owners gave a warm welcome and was always at hand to offer any help if required.
