The Barn

Detached Grade 2 Listed Converted Barn

Set near the top of Long Mountain but still only being approx 15 minutes from the centres of Shrewsbury, Welshpool, Montgomery, and Churchstoke, The Barn is a beautifully appointed detached grade 2 listed converted barn in an elevated position with commanding views of the Shropshire hills, an area of outstanding natural beauty.

The area, being so tranquil, is ideally suited to outdoor activities such as walking, cycling, bird watching or riding, horse riding is available at our neighbouring Long Mountain riding centre or alternatively arrangements can be made for horses to stay in our field next to the barn if you would like to bring your own.
