Region: A E Houseman once wrote that Shropshire was "the quietest place under the sun" and today the county remains something of a rural idyll, recognised as one of the least crowded and most peaceful regions in England.
Town: The rural village of Eaton-under-Heywood lies under both the famous Wenlock Edge and the woods that run along it, and is surrounded by scenic countryside. From the village, the Jacob's Ladder path leads straight up the Edge, providing lovely walks. Nearby is the market town of Church Stretton, which lies in the heart of south Shropshire. It is set amid striking scenery and has often been described as "Little Switzerland". The town is the main centre for Shropshire's hill country and home to a variety of tearooms, pubs and specialist shops. Other local attractions include walks on the Long Mynd, the Acton Scott Working Farm as seen on TV, and Stokesay Castle. The historic towns of Shrewsbury, Ludlow, the World Heritage Site of Ironbridge, Much Wenlock and Bishops Castle are only a short journey away.

Bettys Barn was warm, spacious, homely and had everything a family would need. The local fresh milk was a lovely extra. The location was great for nature and walking and the friendliness of the family on the farm was really nice. Look forward to coming back when the sun is shining!

Wonderful cottage, amazing garden, friendly and helpful owners, great location for walks and history
I stayed here with a small family group and loved everything about it. Very sympathetic barn conversion, tastefully furnished and thoughtfully equipped. Very comfortable beds and the best bath I have ever used. We loved having the chickens pecking round the door and the peacocks strutting past. Liz was extremely helpful, while giving us space to enjoy our holiday and the grounds are truly extensive.
We walked on the Long Mynd and the Shropshire way, both very quick to get to from the cottage and spent days exploring the history of Shrewsbury and Much Wenlock. I cannot recommend Betty's Barn highly enough!
