The majority of guests find The Stone Barn to be comfortable and well-appointed, though a few guests suggest that the sofas could be more comfortable, and one mentioned the property being overly warm.
Facilities are generally regarded as excellent, with a well-equipped kitchen and a good level of maintenance. However, the absence of a washer/dryer and some concerns about dog-proof fencing slightly lower the score.

About this property
The Stone Barn is a charming barn conversion that has been refurbished to an exceptional standard while still retaining its original charm and character, to make the perfect luxury country retreat.
The Stone Barn is nestled in the Downton Estate and is one of three farm barns that have been beautifully converted and renovated while still retaining their original character.

There are lovely walks right from the front door – and a two-minute stroll takes you to an award-winning restaurant.
The views from the cottage and the patio outside are breathtaking, ranging across the rolling countryside. The Downton Estate stretches for nearly 5,000 acres across the picturesque hilly and wooded countryside of Herefordshire and Shropshire.
