Award-winning Self-Catering Holiday Cottages on the English-Welsh Borders near Ludlow

Mocktree Barns are an ideal base for exploring the delightful countryside of South Shropshire, Herefordshire and mid-Wales, one of the few ‘Tranquil Areas’ left in England.

Located close to the historic town of Ludlow, we offer self-catering accommodation in five comfortable and well-equipped holiday cottages.

Less mobile guests are well provided for and we have been inspected and awarded National Accessible Scheme level 1.

Mocktree Barns date from the 16th century and were once a set of farm buildings. They were converted to provide five distinct and individual cottages situated around a south-facing courtyard.

The owners, Clive and Cynthia Prior and their family, live in the adjacent house which was once the threshing barn.

Guests are welcome to enjoy our wildlife friendly gardens and the courtyard with table and chairs for eating outdoors in the summer.

Our small wildflower meadow is now in its second year and we are actively involved in promoting Green Tourism. Spring visitors can enjoy our profusion of cowslips.

In addition to accommodation, we can also offer "Discovery Walking Holidays" for groups. This is an opportunity to spend a few relaxing days learning more about the local landscape and wildlife with experienced tutors/walk leaders.
