Trooper's Barn, Craven Arms

Trooper's Barn is a 19th-century barn conversion set in a courtyard on a 250-acre working farm at the southern foot of Wenlock Edge in Shropshire. This brick-built barn features exposed wooden beams, a woodburning stove set in an inglenook fireplace and a spacious open-plan living area. Outside you'll find a private hot tub on your rear patio plus parking for five cars.

The barn sits in the Hope Valley on the edge of Westhope village. Fields and rolling Shropshire hills surround the property. Footpaths lead directly from the farm into 13 miles of woodland walks along Wenlock Edge.

Five bedrooms sleep up to 12 guests. Three super king-size rooms (all zip/link twins on request) include two en-suites. One twin bedroom and one ground-floor family room complete the layout. Four bathrooms serve the property. The kitchen centres around an island breakfast bar. A large dining table seats 12 beside the woodburner.

Acton Scott Working Farm sits 3 miles away (8 minutes). Church Stretton offers shops and cafes 6 miles north (15 minutes). Medieval Ludlow lies 9 miles south (20 minutes). The Long Mynd hills provide walking and cycling routes 7 miles away (18 minutes).

Trooper's Barn works brilliantly for families and groups wanting space, original features and a proper hot tub in rural Shropshire.
