Treehouse Barn At Pitchford Estate, Pitchford

The barn its self was very good no issues at all but We were unable to go and see pitchford hall and the other old buildings as there was a closed cattle gate that could not be moved. You could gain access by walking over a mile through the woods but my elderly mother and my disabled husband cannot walk that far . We rang the guest help number and was told they would find out why the gate was shut and call back, they didnt . This had spoilt the holiday for us and we dont know if we will return .

This was our second visit to Tree House Barn, we love the seclusion of the property but within easy reach of places to visit when we choose.

Second visit Lovely cottage in a beautiful spot, great for walking the dogs. Great water pressure providing an amazing showerbath. Beds comfy with great views out to fields. Lots of local amenities on the doorstep. Could be better equipped with glassescups etc. dishwasher very temperamental washed by hand in the end. Definitely needs an outdoor tap for washing mucky paws!

Its our second visit to this wonderful cottage and once again we have had a ... Its our second visit to this wonderful cottage and once again we have had a great holiday, we did have a couple of small issues, a peculiar smell in the double bedroom and the large bin was almost full when we arrived but neither of these small issues ruined our stay and we will definitely return again

I have been searching for the perfect dog friendly cottage for years and Ive finally found it. Perfect sized garden with the whole estate to roam around without seeing another person, this place is so peaceful. So many places to explore from caves to waterfalls, its a great location to explore the great outdoors. The cottage is spacious and well equipped and was really clean. The garden was a lovely place to sit and watch the birds of prey and if the hedge directly in front of the cottage was trimmed down to about 5ft high the views would be even better. We are already planning our next visit, I hope they will have us again as I forgot to turn the dishwasher onSORRY

Very nice property perfect for my 4 dogs and lots of grounds to walks on .

We stayed at the barn for a weekend with elderly parents. As others have said, the driveway is very long however we only encountered one pothole but you do need to drive very slowly. The barn is beautifully located particularly if you want to escape from the outside world. The barn itself is very well equipped and extremely clean in the important areas. Few cobwebs behind wall lights etc. but didnt worry us too much. A bout of feedback for the owners on things they could address to make it perfect One of the single beds had a spring that sticks in you making sleeping a challenge. We couldnt find a slip Mat for the shower this is a basic need particularly for older guests who can slip easily, maybe we just couldnt find one? No basic toiletries provided such as body washsoap which wouldve been nice to have. Finally theres a notice board in the barn asking guests to clean up after their pets.. this hadnt been done and we encountered several old dried up dog waste all over the lawn. We did however clean up after our dog but this needs addressing as we had to watch where we walked. Otherwise a lovely stay, maybe a few more softer modern furnishings would enhance the barn to another level but appreciate others may prefer the very rustic appearance.

A great Barn for a week away. So secluded, which is exactly what we wanted. The barn itself if beautiful, more like a villa inside. The only thing that would of made it better is a comfier sofa, or maybe a second sofa instead of smaller armchairs. Kitchen is very well equipped and we managed to cook as usual. Wifi good for the teenagers. The garden is a good size for dogs, but only semi secure. It was fine for our dog, but if your pooch any size really wants to get out or has no recall, they could easily get through the estate fencing. The surrounding land is beautiful and lots of wildlife to see. I worried about the roadtrack but it was fine as we went very slow, could be different in the winter or lots of rain though. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the barn or stay again.

My mum chose this property as she has difficulty in mobilising and uses a mobility aid with wheels. It was brilliant for her to mobilise in the barn and she chose the twin bedroom as hers. From a mobility perspective we have a few constructive suggestions that would have made her holiday that little bit easier. A ramp going into the property and perhaps one of the middle two doors leading into the garden would have been beneficial. A grab rail in the toilet in the twin bathroom, it was spacious enough that she could take her mobility aid in but had difficulty getting off the toilet also she would have loved a shower and suggested a fold away seat. We were there for one if the hottest weeks of the year and would suggest if you are going to as we did have a chill break and relax there that some form of shade such as a parasol, however we moved 2 chairs to buy the front door and would alternate depending on the sun and shade. With doors and windows closed to the sun and open to the shade we maintained a lovely cool temperature and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I would highly recommend exploring the estate, I bumped into a very helpful person called Nick, who shared where the orangery , walled garden and the ice house was. A rough map of the estate would have been helpful in the welcome information pack as I was fortunate to bump into Nick and I wouldn't have realised where the orangery was. The walled garden is stunning, there is a beautiful tree in the middle that is perfect for a blanket, book and even a snooze under the watchful gaze of the peacock family. The church was a cool respite in the heat and the history of the estate visible finding the pitch well and brook. We would definitely recommend and return, Tree House Barn is a little slice of heaven, perfect for a quiet retreat of rest and recuperation, just 15 minutes from Meole Brace retail park if you need supplies. A big thank you to the team, we enjoyed every moment. I look forward to not only returning but following the story of the estate growing.

Very good but needs more mugs only 2 for 4 people.

Please do something about the potholes in the drive down to tree house barm. I've managed to get back to Birmingham but it's done something to the car. Loud banging coming from the front wheel.. those holes are deep and you can't avoid them.

The Tree House Barn our stay 0308 May25. We found the barn conversion excellent with its high ceilings and appreciated the modern fresh look combined with the antique furniture was very appealing. Plenty of space both inside and out. Everything worked OK, apart from a couple of dead bulbs in bedside lights so we switched them around to work for the Double bedroom. The yard and hedging was overgrown when we arrived and was cut as we left, So maybe in spring more frequent mowing would add to kerb appeal. I cut down the blackthorn bush threatening to obstruct the main entrance. The isolation definitely appealed to us and allowed terriers a free & safe rein to roam inside and outside the railings which might have contained larger dogs. The minor downside being 1,100 metres dusty farm track to the road with no pub nor shop in the village nor in Acton Burnell as far as we saw. We need a carwash now!. I never ascertained how the house is centrally heated. But we didnt need any. Either some heating Was ON or there is astonishingly effective insulation. We even needed to open windows in the early May evening to cool it down a bit. The doorless loos were a surprise, but for us no bother. Might be for others. For walking we found a drive to the Strettons was sensible. The marked rights of way near the house are underused and we found broken bridges and some paths have been ploughed over and sown, and effectively lost. Nevertheless, being allowed to walk the grounds of the main house gave us the early morning and evening stroll with the dogs past the beautiful George Devey house and around the lake. Nb. Our house in Kent was also built by Mr Devey and is called Devey Lodge. We couldnt find the path from the Barn to the village, maybe it has been lost. Some minor suggestions thrown up by our stay Soft felt stickons under the legsfeet of the chairs to avoid noisy scraping on the floor flags. More hooks near the main door for coats hats leads lanyards keys etc. A shower tidy shelf inside corner at waist level for soaps and bottles of unguents. We did drop & crack one of the ltd.edition cups and left 5 underneath it to cover replacement. We will be returning to the area and will definitely consider repeating the visit here.

Tree House Barn is a lovely setting, fields all round, dark skies for stargazing, amazing location on the sublime Pitchford estate, which we explored too. The treehouse is fantastic to see! The barn itself is up a dirt track, which is, as you'd expect..dusty and after rain, a little muddy, but it's not particularly awful, a few ruts in parts, but that added to the fun! Barn is very spacious with good facilities. Wifi is good. Bathrooms are a bit of a weird set up, within the bedroom space, if anyone needs the loo in the night you certainly know about it. There is no specific EV hook up at the property, so you'll need your granny lead plus an extension cable if your lead is less than 2m. We got 1.98kwh so it takes a while to top up, but it's doable. If you want 7kw charging go to the Riverside pub just down the A458 at Cressage plus the food is lovely and it's dog friendly! Talking of dogs, the Barn garden was well secured and I could confidently let my dogs out, although if you've got small dogs, I'd say they might be tempted under the fence to the field with the geese in opposite! My retrievers were happy enough in the large space. We were lucky enough to see hares, so many birds, including Redwings and a small herd of deer that streaked through the field next to us! Take your binoculars! Dog friendly places we visited while we stayed were Hawkshead Follies and The Victorian museum at Ironbridge , plus a cracking walk up Carding Mill Valley, we've come home for a rest haha!

We loved our stay here. Perfect for dogs. The countryside is amazing and the wonderful sight of so many hares first thing in the morning was incredible. The only downside was the feeling that the bedrooms were part of the bathrooms and the lack of privacy whilst using the loo is not always ideal. I like to get up early to walk the dogs and had to clean my teeth in the kitchen sink to avoid waking my husband.

We've used Sykes before and stayed in Stockbatch Granary also on the Pitchford Estate in 2022. We therefore knew what to expect from the description of the farm track to the property. It was actually much better than we thought and perfectly OK if car has decent ground clearance and you take it slowly. Yes your car will get mucky but the roads around are mucky too. It was so fabulous to be somewhere so peaceful during 'firework week'. We didn't hear a single bang so great for our dogs. The garden was secureenclosed enough for our dogs who are larger and don't tend to wander but smaller dogs or escape artists would get through the railings. We enjoyed being able to walk from the door although sadly one footbridge through the woods was damaged. Walking around the estate lake was a nice stroll with autumn colour. Sadly clouds meant no dark skies but with zero light pollution I'd imagine this is a great place for stargazing. Bit of a drive to any pubs but most seemed Dog Friendly. The Pound does fabulous pies. If I'm being super picky another sofa would be good if 4 adults in the property but we made do. Contrary to a previous review, there is a microwave the top oven is a combi. Would definitely return, the garden would be a great suntrap in the summer. Easy to clean although a mop would have been useful there was a head but no handle. Wifi was fast enough for me to do a couple of days work and for streaming catchup TV on the freesat.

I THINK YOU MUST TELL VISITORS ABOUT THE LONG OVER 1 MILE TRACK AND WHILE WE WERE THERE THE FARMERS WERE WORKING ON THE FIELDS SO THE TRACK WAS AWFUL. IT HAS JUST COST US TODAY 60 TO GET THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR CLEANED ON THE CAR.

This holiday cottage was fantastic. It was spotlessly clean. Very well equipped. The location was quiet and unspoilt views surrounding it. Would highly recommend.

A perfect holiday let for those seeking peace and quiet. Beautiful rural location on a farm estate with mature trees, hedgerows and fields all round. You need a robust car with high undercarriage to manage the long rough farm track in and out due to the potholes, especially after rain, but we found it worth this minor inconvenience. Treehouse Barn is spacious, all on one level and decorated and furnished to a high spec. We couldn't fault it and loved the ambience. Without hesitation, we would go back.

We had a lovely week at Tree House Barn in this beautiful part of Shropshire, enjoying visits to Ludlow, Attingham Park, Blists Hill Victorian Town, Long Mynd and Ironbridge as well as several local walks. The cottage and surroundings were lovely and quiet with wildlife in abundance deer, hare, red kite, fox etc The garden was fine for our dog being small and an escape artist he needed to be kept on a longline in the garden but we expected this and he's used to it on holiday. Loved the kitchen, space, views, silence, dark night skies. Thank you!

Wonderful place and location. Well appointed property. One observation the bed in the master bedroom was quite lumpy as a mattress

The Barn is a beautiful property, set in tranquil, peaceful surroundings. We have been here numerous times and it feels just the same every time. Thank you to all the wonderful staff.

Superb break this is the perfect place to really get away from it all but with all mod cons! The accommodation is finished to a high standard and the enclosed garden is a good size for dogs to play. Lovely rural setting and easy access to lots of great places to visit

A wonderful stay in a well equipped barn conversion which is quite and away from the noise of everyday life. The wifi is good and general facilities excellent the bath in the bedroom is slightly odd but go with it and it's fine!. Garden is great is you have dogs. Would be nice to see some egg cups but that's a pretty minor, and personal preference. Close to Shrewsbury, which is lovely to explore and the surrounding areas are lovely for walking. The real issue that lets the barn down is the access road. Think moon level craters and a farm track that really requires a sturdy 4x4 and that gives you an idea of what to expect. We prayed for our suspension each time we arrived or left the barn. On the last day the farmer had made some repairs but a careful and slow drive was still required. Would we go back or recommend it? Yes. Just maybe with a tractor next time!

Road to property needs attention, was awful. Did get message day or two before warning us of the current state of repair of the road which unfortunately didnt help. Had a lovely break, weather was nice and sunny, barn was spacious, well equipped and ideal for our needs. Great garden space for our dogs. Nice walks from the barn passing the famous Pitchford tree house.

Beautiful surroundings and cottage really comfortable, clean and well furnished. Only problem we had was with the dishwasher which did not work at first due to need for salt. This was promptly attended to but unfortunately still did not work. We did not mind washing up by hand but other holiday people may not. We had a great week and weather was excellent. Our holiday was perfect. Sue and friends happy for you to publish without dishwasher problem as sure this was rectified

I loved every minute of this short break. The barn was exactly as described and I only wish we could have stayed longer. I would love to return. The only things that I would ask the owner to think about are Maybe another settee in the lounge so everyone can sit in comfort. In the garden some sort of netting over the metal fence to make it secure as we had to keep our dog on his lead as he could fit through the gaps.

Tree House Barn was absolutely perfect for us to get away & to re charge our batteries. Location was fantastic, it has panoramic views of the countryside in amongst the Pitchford estate. An enclosed private area for the dogs to run around. Plenty of lovely walks & you are able to see Pitchford House & the tree house within a few minutes walk. Would definitely come back.

Quality accommodation, beautiful views, home from home. Karen was a star with our problem, sending Phil straight over. Warm welcome, lovely real Christmas tree, everything you needed, lovely very large white towels, even a teapot. Four minutes careful drive down estate road to the barn, signposted.

Loved the gorgeous tree house barn will return

We really enjoyed our stay from beginning to end it was lovely and peaceful . The barn is lovely .

The Barn was lovely and warm on our arrival. It was a lovely touch having a bottle of milk, biscuits, tea and coffee there for you to have a drink before you unpack. It is very peaceful with a view of lovely countryside. A great place to relax. Care is needed on the farm track as there are a few potholes and when they are full of water it's difficult to know how deep they are. We would definitely return.

If you want seclusion then this is the place. Had a great holiday lovely place. The only thing we found being very picky is the wood above doors and windows could do with replacing as flies and wasps gather there and fall from wood when windows open. Lots of killing required. Everything else ideal many thanks

Second time at the barn, love the remoteness and silence, no road noise is lovely. Views around the barn are outstanding and no one bothers you. Shops are only a 20 minute drive away. The barn could do with a deep clean and a bit of paint, there was a lot of cobwebs and dead & alive spiders. Walls were a bit marked and window was still cracked 4 years after the first visit. Outside doors could do with a paint, guttering leaks and there are wasps in the soffits. Garden gate does not latch and blew open, garden is not secure for smaller dogs. Shower tray needs re siliconing as it has gone black. Lack of comfortable garden furniture. We bought some locally, made such a difference to be able to sit outside and read in comfort. This is not to say we didnt have a nice time, but the property could do with a little spruce up. Maybe a new smart tv where guests could log into their own Netflix account? Dont be put off by what Ive written, its a lovely place, it just needs a bit of maintenance to get it back to 100.

This is the 3rd time, and we would go again. We couldn't have picked a more friendly, efficient service. It was quiet, very quiet and that was what we needed. I would recommend it to anyone.

This is a lovely property in a beautiful area,what more could you ask for when ... This is a lovely property in a beautiful area,what more could you ask for when wanting to chill out and relax,the visit from the fox and pheasants was an added bonus,we would certainly consider another visit in the future

Had an amazing time did not want to leave middle of nowhere and that was great total relaxation. Karen was lovely as well and explained everything very clearly to us cant wait to go back would highly recommend.
