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.

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.




Our third stay in four years and The Barn is definitely our bench mark. We have yet to find anywhere that comes close in comfort, layout, presentation, or most importantly, warmth of welcome.

We had a wonderful 4 day break here for the Jubilee Long weekend. Such a good find! The Barn is well equipped, very comfy and in an idyllic location down a country lane, just what we like away from the hustle and bustle but well located for places to visit in South Shropshire. The outside space is private with a really pretty garden. We enjoyed watching the birds, particularly a Red Kite flying overhead, a Song Thrush in the garden and a little Wren on the telegraph wires! Jane and Martin are lovely hosts, meeting us on arrival then checking with us the next morning to make sure all was well. Highly recommended.

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.
