Great house for us as a group of families with teenagers. Lots of space and amazing location. Contrary to other reviews, the house was warm and there is also a big wood burner in the main living room. We all loved our stay, thank you.

Lovely house just VERY COLD!!!! Wasn’t told about the heating been on 2 separate thermostats. House was cold at night and some people left to go home and get warm. Location was fantastic, house was beautiful. Only downfall was the cold heating, log fire was blocked in chimney and WiFi was very temperamental

Dinhope Barn is a converted half timbered barn in rural Shropshire.
Dinhope Barn is a converted half timbered barn in rural Shropshire.
It shares a yard with another newer barn - also for rent.
Be careful with sat nav - follow the instructions from the landlady.
The location is lovely - with views over the hills from the back.
Rooks, pheasants and squirrel will visit the garden.
It was at one point split into two and upstairs is still split, so remember which stair your room is up.
However, that does mean two living rooms and a dining room mean lots of space for large gatherings. Also there are two TVs (Freesat) .
There are two kitchens -though you will use the larger one.
There are seven bedrooms, two with en-suite. One is a family room with a double and a single. There others are either doubles or twins. The seventh is small. There are cots in two rooms.
The furnishings are comfortable - but not new.
The plates and mugs are from Texaco - but there are plenty, unlike many cottages we have rented where there was one setting per bed.
There are also sufficient cooking utensils.
The cooker is not the best - but adequate. The one in the spare kitchen is better.
It could use a better coffee machine.
As expected, given the location, the wifi is not the fastest and as there is a single router, it does not quite cover the whole barn. Phone reception is also patchy depending on carrier, better upstairs - unlike the wifi.
If you do not want to cook, Craven Arms has pubs, restaurants and take-aways.
It also has real butchers and grocers as well as supermarkets.
Once we settled in the house warmed through and we did not bother with the fire.
But obviously it may be cold on arrival if nobody is in the week before.
It is great value for the size of property - but it homely not posh.

A quiet rural location for walks
A tired rental property, needing a bit of updating of mattresses and furniture, but accommodated us all as a family of 8 adults and 5 children well. Had basics and necessary dishwasher and washing machine. Owner supplied wood for wood burning stove as property was cold when we arrived. One side of property was very cold to both eat in (downstairs) and sleep in ( bedroom upstairs). We found the blankets in cupboards on the second day.
Could have done with more cloths for cleaning and wiping down surfaces.

The house was chosen to accommodate our family and ticked all the boxes for bedroom layout.
The house was chosen to accommodate our family and ticked all the boxes for bedroom layout. It’s a very large house with plenty of space for our 5 small grandchildren to let off steam! Some of the house is very dated and would benefit from some care & condition.
I would like to see some new kitchen utensils as they were very worn and simple tasks such as rescaling the kettle should be routine maintenance jobs.

Dinhope Big Barn is in the middle the countryside.
Dinhope Big Barn is in the middle the countryside. Craven Arms is the nearest town about 2miles away. It is further to other amenities, but well worth it for the location of the Big Barn

We realy enjoyed our weekend at the barn, it was warm, clean and very spacious with fabulous views, dissapointed at the lack of information on the local amenities.
The approach road leading to the big barn can be a bit hazardous if you are not a confident driver due to it being single track, not many passing places a few up's and downs and blind bends. There are no decent restaurants to eat out within a short drive but there is an excellent fish & chip shop opposite the town carpark and a very good cafe the "Station Cafe", food is very good and friendly staff.
