The Granary, Court Farm, Stapleton, Church Stretton, Shropshire, SY5 7EF

Booked this accommodation having seen it reviewed on this website. Not recommended. Expensive for such poor quality.

We did not see our hostess at all. The lighting in the rooms was low and gloomy. No soap or towels provided in the bathrooms. No second sheet on the bed which had a small blanket and very heavy duvet (weighed about the same as a door). Bulbs kept blowing the bedside lamp every time I went to read.

Entry into upstairs bedroom was via a 3 step up and 3 step down stile with no handrail. Very small shower with plastic curtain that clung to your legs seemed to be housed in a wardrobe.

Excessive noise from floorboards in the upper floor when anybody moved, possibly exacerbated by the heating having been on, closely matched by the heavy duty traffic noise from the small but very busy road the property is located on.

The heating had to be overridden to get it on, and then, it would not go off.

Car parking available. Only plus point of the stay was the very friendly black and white cat.

What a lovely surprise so quirky and comfortable. On arrival we found a lovely fresh homemade cake and essentials to start our holiday. 'Farmer Nick' let my grandsons feed the calves after a good walk with Jeanette round the fields. Such a lovely friendly couple, on the last morning Nick took the boys on a tractor ride!

There is loads to see in the surrounding area, castle ruins where the boys could climb about, recreation grounds where the boys could play football and cricket. Plenty of shops nearby. We managed to go into Wales as it was so close too.

Thank you Jeannette and Nick.

This was an excellent holiday home that surpasses all expectations. From the welcome tray of a fresh baked cake with fllowers, tea and coffee and freh milk to a well stocked wood basket for the wood burning fire.

The facilities both in the converted barn to games available to play in the games barn (snooker, chess, badmington, football, cricket nets...) make this a real holiday rental that allows you to relax and unwind.

The owners were very welcoming and I would gladly visit again and recommend to anyone.

Thank you!

WE stayed at the Granary for a week in August. The accommodation was lovely, our 3 kids enjoyed playing in the barn and we all helped out feeding the cattle, plus a ride in the Tractor. The owners were very friendly and always willing to help. We explored the area visited Church Stretton, and Shrewsbury. Some nice walks - Altogether a lovely relaxing holiday!

We stayed at the Granary for a week in September, along with my brother-in-law and his wife.

This place definitely has the 'Wow' factor! As you enter the property you walk straight into the lounge, complete with wood burning stove, then through a door into a very well equiped kitchen. Through another door into the hall, with stairs leading up to the first floor, and two bedrooms and a bathroom. Upstairs you'll find a games room complete with pool/snooker table, then up a few steps into the master bedroom. This is a lovely room with Velux windows, giving lot
