    Built at Smethcote Farm in the 1700s, Smethcote Barn is now a comfortable countryside retreat for four people. Special features, such as wooden beams and king-post tresses, are highlighted by fresh, light walls, and the original large doors have been glazed for views across the fields.

    From the hallway you’ll find the kitchen and a sitting room with a dining area and woodburning stove. There’s also a WC on the ground floor. Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms and a family bathroom with a bath and shower.

    Outside, the barn shares a large walled garden with the Threshing Barn next door. There is a lawn as well as a wildflower meadow to support local wildlife, and two Dutch barns, built around 1900, provide some shelter and shade. Within the garden, Smethcote Barn has a screened private seating area including a fire pit which has a barbecue grill.  

    There are a great many walks on the estate and the national cycle route is on the barn’s doorstep. You’ll have free entry to Attingham Park’s Regency Mansion, Walled Garden, Deer Park and Field of Play, as well as other National Trust properties in the area. Attingham’s Carriage House Café, Stables Shop and second-hand bookshop are open every day.

    The village of Atcham and local pubs are 3 miles away, with the vibrant town of Shrewsbury a 15-minute drive. Close by, there are the canals, the river Severn and Tern, great Shropshire walks, and attractions including Wroxeter Roman City and World Heritage Site Ironbridge Gorge.

    Larger groups can also book neighbouring Threshing Barn which sleeps six people.
