About Barnutopia
This picturesque site is located in Shropshire, England, right on the border with Powys, Wales. You can stand with one foot in each country. There are views in every direction and public footpaths and bridleways surrounding the site. The ex-farm setup is appealing and practical. There are six grass pitches for tents only, measuring a spacious 10m x 10m and allowing up to four people each. These are unallocated so guests can choose where they pitch upon arrival, and fire pits are available for free upon request. The glamping village includes ten furnished yurts, cabins, stable and bunkhouse, perfect for a family getaway. Three camp kitchens onsite are equipped with everything you need to prepare, cook and eat food. All of the glamping units are fully furnished with real beds, linen, power, heating and lighting. The smallest takes three people and the largest sleeps ten, so there really is something for all groups. The heated accommodation makes Barnutopia perfect for a glamping getaway at any time of year, and the indoor/outdoor Dutch barn allows for campfires even if the weather is poor. Breakfast is available to order if desired. Campfires are encouraged and logs are provided for glampers. Whole site bookings are accepted. Come back and sit around a campfire toasting marshmallows. Perfect for individuals, couples, families, larger groups and events. A maximum of three dogs are allowed per unit, just please keep them on the lead.
Site facilities include toilets, showers, disabled access facilities, WiFi, three shared camp kitchens, a games room with foosball and a covered barn area great for campfires in the rain.
The site also offers breakfast service, with many guests choosing the all-you-can-eat breakfast of pancakes and toppings, bacon, sausages, scrambled eggs, baked beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, toast, tea, coffee and orange juice. There is also an event barn available for weddings (licensed for ceremonies), hen dos, family gatherings and other special occasions.
