Scenic site in the Shropshire countryside, five miles from Oswestry
Well-equipped shared kitchens, lounge and bathroom block
Rural ex-farm set up with animals and views in every direction

Katrina, aka Mrs B at Barnutopia, fell in love with Tanycoed farm the moment she first saw it, tucked in the stunning, green Shropshire countryside. This is where she has created Barnutopia, set in the grounds of the main farmhouse and stable block, with open fields and gorgeous views in every direction. The stable block houses the bathrooms with toilets, hand basins and unlimited hot water for showers. Elsewhere, the guest kitchens (the Cookhouse, the Kitchen Shack and the Galley) are equipped with everything you need for self-catering: hot and cold water, fridges, freezers, food prep areas, kettles, toasters, microwaves, gas hobs, an oven, pots and pans, crockery and cutlery, as well as a nice and cosy seating area. Prefer not to cook? Takeaways are easy to order to this location using your mobile phone. Big supermarkets are five miles away (just a 10-minute drive) in the historic market town of Oswestry. Half a mile away (a 20-minute walk), in the village of Llansilin in the Welsh county of Powys, there is a pub that serves what's considered to be one of the tastiest Sunday lunches in the area. Mrs B's mission is simple: to make sure Barnutopia has everything you need for a comfy stay. She lives on site and is available to help out wherever possible if there's anything you need. Well-behaved dogs are welcome here, but as the farm is surrounded by livestock (miniature Hereford bullocks, Zwartbles sheep and a pig, plus four cats and a dog), they must be kept on a lead at all times.
