Little Owl Barn
Surrounded by gently rolling fields in the Worcestershire countryside, Little Owl Barn is a peaceful barn conversion perfect for those in search of an escape to the country. The private terrace is an ideal spot for taking in the sunset views over the old orchard after a day of exploring. Step inside and you’ll find two comfortable bedrooms and a light-filled living room, warmed by a wood-burning stove. With Stratford-upon-Avon, the Malvern Hills, and the beautiful Cotswolds all within easy reach, and the village pub within walking distance, Little Owl Barn is well located for a stay in this charming part of the country.
Overview
Sitting on the fringes of a tiny hamlet, along a quiet lane, Little Owl Barn is a contemporary, detached barn conversion overlooking orchards and the surrounding countryside. A network of footpaths, bridleways and lanes weave through the landscape and are ideal for exploring on foot or on two wheels.
This spacious barn offers a comfortable retreat for four guests. On the ground floor, you’ll find a beautifully equipped kitchen, with everything you need for a self-catering stay. At one end there’s a sunny dining nook, which is a lovely space for your morning coffee. There’s a spacious living/dining room with bi-fold doors leading to a private terrace, a large corner sofa and comfy chair giving plenty of seating for four, a dining table and a stylish wood-burning stove in the corner. There’s a large smart TV for rainy days and evening entertainment. The shower room for the barn is also on the ground floor. Upstairs you’ll find two bedrooms; one king size and one twin and a second WC.
Little Owl Barn occupies a quiet setting to one side of the owner’s farmhouse, with beautiful orchard views from the private terrace. This is a lovely area to enjoy alfresco dining and relax on sunny afternoons when the weather is kind. Watch for rabbits and woodpeckers and if you are lucky, the owls that roost in the orchard. With nothing but the sound of birdsong and the wind in the trees, it’s a place where you can easily while away the hours. To the front of the barn is private parking for two cars.

peaceful escape
We really enjoyed our stay in early September at Little Owl Barn Snodsbury. Enjoyed the very peaceful location and proximity to many interesting places to visit. Accommodation was excellent with everything needed to self cater if required but also near to friendly pubs , serving good food.

6 night stay
Lovely barn conversion. Very helpful owners on hand to help when needed. Beautiful views. Comfy bed
Kitchen well equipped, could have done with kitchen roll and dishwashing mop supplied. Very thoughtful hamper provided eggs, milk biscuits etc.
As shower room was downstairs, could have done with blinds over front door area as no privacy walking down the stairs past the door to reach the shower, but we managed ok.
Delightful lounge and patio area
Hope to visit again

Lovely place and a very quiet country retreat. There were horses right outside the window,it was amazing for our children to see and the very kind owners let our children have a go at sitting on them. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

Relaxing summer break.
I was looking for a relaxing environment away from my busy life in London and that is exactly what I got. The Little Owl Barn is beautifully presented, open and airy and in an ideal location overlooking fields. The area has plenty of walks and quaint eateries a short drive away. The owners were lovely and welcoming. This is the perfect get away.

Relazing weekend with owls and horses
Lovely break . The house was ideal for our group. Plenty of places to visit nesrby although walks from the door is a bit of a stretch.

Great property
Little Owl Barn is a lovely, comfortable property in a quiet and secure location. The owners were very welcoming and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Lovely Barn
Me and my wife have just spent a lovely two days at little owl barn. The barn is spotlessly clean and comfortable. Out the back is a lovely old horse and her little companion who come over and say hello. The hosts are very accommodating and friendly There is a great pub about a mile away that serves great food ( the breakfast is highly recommended).
