Welcome to The Barn at Ryecroft
Self-Catering Countryside Accommodation near Ludlow
This idyllic rural hideaway is a unique Stable and Hay Barn conversion, one mile from the village of Richard's Castle and only three miles south of Ludlow town centre, well-known as Shropshire's gastronomic capital.
A retreat for all seasons, you can enjoy 4-star self catering with original solid pine beams, wood burning stove and stunning panoramic views. The accommodation stands at the end of a leafy private drive within it's own secluded gardens, ideally situated for exploring Shropshire, Herefordshire and the Welsh Borders. There are National Trust and English Heritage places nearby, with historic market towns like Shrewsbury or Hereford and the World Heritage Site of Ironbridge all good for a day out.
Whether you are a walker, cyclist, foodie or book lover, or simply just want to get away from it all, The Barn is the place to be.
Short breaks are available as well as weekly stays.
Should you need it, we are only a stone's throw away to offer friendly advice on making the most of your stay.




We have 'self catered' for many years and have stayed in some gems but The Barn at Ryecroft has turned out to be the Jewel in the Crown! All the superlatives in the visitors logs going back over the years, we endorse wholeheartedly. Our only regret is that we did not find this wonderful spot years ago when we were much younger and, more to the point, fitter. Our sincere thanks for all you have given us to ensure our comfort and happiness for our week. If you will have us, we would love to come again..

I am so glad that you both have decided to keep this little bit of heaven going! I hope you have many wonderful years here in the peace and quiet countryside AND I do hope to see you both again.

We are so pleased to have discovered The Barn - it looked and sounded perfect, in reality it has fully lived up to, in fact beyond, our expectations. Such a quaint and pretty place, it has been quite a dilema between relaxing and enjoying The Barn or exploring this equally lovely surrounding area. Thank you for all the hard work you have clearly put into making this a special holiday.
