We were really impressed with the standard of accommodation at Oak Barn. It's in a beautiful rural setting and so very peaceful. It's the perfect place to unwind and relax. It's conveniently located for Tenbury Wells which is a lovely town with plenty of shops and places to eat and drink. Rob was a great host and we loved the flowers and bits and pieces that were left in the kitchen. I have no hesitation in recommending this place and we will certainly visit again.

Quiet location in beautiful grounds. The host was helpful and enthusiastic. Birthday balloons and cake on arrival for my sons 21st. The kitchen is well equipped and the rooms well decorated and kept but not "so perfect" you are afraid to relax! Sheep and chickens to feed but not intrusive if you dont want to.Low door to one room and beams that challenged my 6ft3 boys but they learnt to duck. The rest of us (just under 6ft) had no problem.Well located for local walks, drives to bigger walks and towns. A happy week.

Very Enjoyable Retreat

The stay offered us the opportunity to catch up with family in a quiet environment away from the hustle and bustle of the city. We got exactly that and more. The host made us feel at home and the rural location was within easy reach of walks and historical towns.Very highly recommended for a relaxing stay.

Fantastic barn conversion in beautiful gardens

The property was very well equipped, extremely clean and comfortable. A highlight was the gardens, an amazing space to relax, admire or play games in the arboretum. The chickens and sheep were very friendly! Close by we enjoyed numerous fantastic restaurants, forest and hill walks, and canoeing down the Severn. Thank you - a lovely holiday in a beautiful location.

Excellent Christmassy Hideaway

We stayed over the Christmas period. Rob and Tam provided the most perfect location with decorations and thoughtful touches. It was clean, warm and welcoming. We fed the sheep and talked to the chickens. We strolled the lanes and visited local towns. Beds were comfortable, plenty of towels, dressing gowns and even fluffy slippers. We hope to stay again when the weather is nicer so we can enjoy all of the outside spaces. Thank you Rob and Tam for a wonderful stay. Highly recommended.

Hi Karina, It was a pleasure having you over the festive period. So glad you had a love time. We looked for to seeing you again in the summer period, where the boards will be in bloom and the country walks fabulous. The local pub (Live and Let Live) is super for a visit in the beer garden with view of a Lee Hills. Thank you again, All the best, Rob and Tam

The best we've seen!

The barn is a beautifully converted property, fitted out to the highest standards we have seen. Equipment and provisioning was first class and as veterens of many cottage hires, this was the best ever. Location is great for visiting the area. Quiet and beautiful setting in an old farm. We had the optional hot tub, which was excellent. Owners were friendly and helpful, but not intrusive. Local pub (live and let live) was excellent. Great food and very friendly.

Absolutely faultless countryside getaway

I cannot fault this place, it's just the perfect countryside getaway. Rob is an experienced, helpful, courteous, thoughtful host. Everything is catered for and they are extremely generous with the amenities they leave for your stay. All manner of things were there at our fingertips, tin foil, bin bags, cleaning products, tissues, napkins, ample cutlery, crockery, bakeware and even shower gel and new toothbrushes. It really is a home from home. The rooms are decorated to compliment the countryside charm of the barn and feel warm and homely yet grand a sumptuous all at the same time. Rob left us food so my 3year old daughter could feed Blossom the sheep who lives in the garden. Something she loved doing, it was an enriching activity and demonstrates how he goes over and above to ensure guests enjoy their time there. Cannot recommend staying here enough. You're in safe hands and the property is fantastic.

Hi Kevin, Thanks for the review. Glad you enjoyed the extra special additions for a 50th b’day celebration, and a good start to your weekend Wedding celebration 🎉 We thank you very kindly for leaving the place absolutely spotless clean.🙏🏼 The feedback has been great, and we’ve already replaced the hair drier, can opener, purchased a floating speaker for the hot tub, and sorting timed lighting to get to the hot tub instead of having to use a torch 👍🏼 Have a great run up to Christmas. All the best, Rob
