About this property

Escape to the Country at Colemore Farm - A Real Shropshire Holiday

Stay at Frog Mill Barn, which is a recently converted timber framed Threshing Barn which is Grade 2 Listed. We offer luxury self catering accommodation which is nestled in the most tranquil countryside. This barn can sleep up to 4 people in 2 bedrooms both of which are ensuite. One bathroom has a walk in shower and the other a roll top bath. One bedroom has a kingsize sleigh bed and the other has twin beds.

Downstairs is open plan, in spirit of preserving the barn's agricultural heritage with clean lines and underfloor heated slate floor. In this spirit, there are no curtains downstairs. There is also a woodburner to make it extra cosy. The deluxe kitchen has a washing machine, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, microwave and range cooker. The work surfaces are granite. There is also a breakfast bar overlooking the garden. We also have wifi and freesat TV. Please note that I do not have facilities for car charging.

Outside is a private garden with a barbecue. Watch the sun go down with a cold glass of wine. We are pet friendly with prior consent please, for up to 2 well behaved dogs (at an extra cost). Unfortunately we are unable to accept cats. It is essential that dogs are kept of leads at all times when not in the barn or the garden of the barn. We are a rural area and there are sheep and other animals around.

Bridgnorth is about a five minute drive away and we are only about 20 minutes from the M54, which means that we are easy to get to. Train stations are at Wolverhampton, Telford and Shrewsbury.

You may just want to unwind and go for long walks. Perhaps you would rather go cycling or fishing. There are lots of country pursuits around Frog Mill Barn. Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site and Much Wenloch (with its links to the Olympic movement) are nearby. Or perhaps you fancy the many festivals such as the food festival at Ludlow. Bridgnorth holds many festivals too including the Steam Rally and the Steam Railway station to Kidderminster.

So bring your boots and plan a walk. There are maps in the barn. We are also lucky to have National Trust Properties nearby too.

A week exploring Shropshire

Lovely base for the week while we explored Shropshire. Very well equipped kitchen for our Hello fresh meals. Unfortunately had to take turn in staying downstairs as dogs are not allowed upstairs and our dog would not settle without us! Also cannot leave dog unattended so week was planned around dog friendly venues and activities which there are plenty of. Nice to have garden space for the dog. The host kindly left eggs, biscuits and milk which was very kind.

Beautiful converted barn

This property has been sympathetically converted from an old barn into a wonderful 2 bed luxury holiday cottage. Wonderful original features mixed with modern conveniences. 2 Bedrooms both en-suit. Full kitchen with everything you could need. Even a small enclosed back garden. All within the rolling hills of Shropshire. Loved our stay.

Wonderful weekend

Really wanted to say a big thank you to Anne for a wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage and for her generous welcome pack and fabulous scones - so delicious. Bella, our dog, had a great time with all the different walks. Such a luxurious place to stay and so warm; our every need was met. The time was much too short and we would love to come back later in the year.

Beautiful but not private

The barn is beautifully converted and furnished, and has a thoughtfully stocked kitchen. We brought our dog, since dogs are welcome. The one thing we didn't enjoy was the lack of privacy. Three large floor to ceiling windows fill the area where there would have been barn doors without any curtain or blind, and giving a view of the dining area in the centre of the property, open up onto a courtyard where the owner comes and goes frequently. We felt as if under permanent surveillance.

Highly recommended!!

We had a lovely week at Frog Mill Barn and were made very welcome by Anna, & Basil the cat! The cottage is in a beautiful setting and is very peaceful. We enjoyed listening to the owls & other wildlife after dark! First cottage we've stayed at that had an EV chargepoint, we drive a Hybrid and being able to charge makes a big difference to the fuel economy. If we return to Shropshire in the future we would definitely stay here again!

A peaceful hideaway

High quality barn conversion. Very comfortable for our family. Nice peaceful location away from everything but close enough to towns to get anything in 20mins. We mostly explored the local area and National Trust places like Wightwick, Dunmaston, Kinver Edge. Of course IronBridge too which again is close by. Highly recommended Andy

Incredible country holiday

Colemore Farm is an incredible place to stay in the idyllic English countryside. It really is an escape, the property itself is stunning and Anna is an excellent host, with insightful suggestions on things to do in the surrounding area. We made memories with our two children that we will never forget here, and we will always be grateful for Anna letting others stay and enjoy this listed historic building.

Wonderful

We stayed at Frog Mill Barn for 5 days and it was wonderful, the barn was comfortable, cosy and had everything we needed. It was so peaceful and we loved hearing the birds singing and enjoyed many walks down to the River Severn. Anna was really helpful and recommended good pubs to eat at before we arrived so we were able to book in advance. Would definitely recommend to friends

5 Star relaxation

We stayed at Frog Hill Barn for a four day break and what a wonderful break it was indeed. The premises are remote, although within easy drive of supermarkets and pubs etc. First thing that hits you is the peace and tranquility, no noise other than the birds. Ideal location for walks , visiting tourist locations. Anna I must say was a perfect host with many a tip and suggestion. We had a slight incident at the barn and it was addressed and sorted instantly. The barn was spotless and had everything you could possibly need. Can highly recommend this barn for couples or adult family. Thank you Anna.
