The Old Forge Barn

The Old Forge Barn is a converted rural property in Shropshire, sleeping two in a single bedroom. The space combines sleeping quarters with a full kitchen at one end, a wood-burning stove and seating area in the middle, and everything flows into a practical layout that makes the most of the building's bones. You get electricity, bed linen and towels as standard; the kitchen has a mini oven with dual hotplates, microwave and fridge-freezer, so you can cook properly rather than just make do.

A shower room sits a short walk away—a proper modern bathroom rather than an afterthought—and outside there's decking with garden furniture and a brick-built barbecue. One dog is welcome to stay. The property is set in open countryside with a stream and wooded area nearby, and there's genuine quiet here rather than the roadside hum that comes with many rural lets. It suits couples or small groups wanting to slow down without sacrificing comfort, or anyone who needs to bring their dog along. No smoking inside.
