Guests consistently praise The Granary for its cleanliness, comfort, and serene location. The cottage's well-equipped facilities and the hosts' hospitality contribute to a peaceful and relaxing stay amidst beautiful Shropshire countryside. While the approach via narrow lanes is noted, the charm and tranquillity of the property are highlights for many.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers unanimously commend the cottage's cleanliness, often using descriptors like 'spotless' and 'clean'. This indicates a very high standard of cleanliness maintained at the property.
The location is appreciated for its peace and natural beauty, though some guests mention the narrow access roads as a consideration. The scenic surroundings and quietness are highly valued.
Comfort is a strong point with guests finding the cottage cosy and well-appointed. The property is described as a 'home from home', suggesting a very comfortable stay.
Facilities are well-received, with mentions of a well-equipped cottage and additional amenities like a private patio and play area. Some minor issues with TV and Wi-Fi reception are noted, but overall the facilities meet guests' needs.
While the hosts are praised for their hospitality and helpfulness, there are no specific mentions of gifts. Therefore, it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness based on gifts, and the score is set to null.
About this property
The Granary is one of two 18th century, Grade II restored cottages in the Bryncalled Barns accommodation, located near to Bucknell, Shropshire. A walk through the stylish dark wooden-framed doors greets you with a delightful, homely open plan living area. The large, comfortable sofa along with the rustic stoned walls give this converted barn its traditional, warming feel. Moving on upstairs, the wooden beams and dark red floral wallpaper continue the quaint feel that the exterior begins. Both bedrooms and the large bathroom are incredibly modern and stylish, creating a wonderful combination with the cottage's rustic character. The balcony sweeping across the front of the building allows visitors from both bedrooms to walk out and admire the view. The beautifully-slabbed, exotic rear garden joins a vibrant decking area, with furniture and an abundance of colourful, lively plants to create the perfect scene for the family to sit out and relax with a cool drink on a nice, warm evening whilst the children enjoy the play area nearby, shared with the other cottage. An outstanding cottage in an astonishing part of the Shropshire countryside, suitable for a holiday all year round. Note: This property can be booked with Ref: 2074, together sleeping up to 8 guests.
The pretty village of Bucknell nestles in the beautiful valley of the
River Teme in South Shropshire, close to the borders of Wales and Herefordshire. This is a lovely area of peaceful unspoilt countryside,but still offering much interest for the visitor – the historic market town of Ludlow renowned for its superb restaurants, Ironbridge with its famous museums, and the county town of Shrewsbury are all within easy driving distance. The Heart of Wales Railway has a station in the village and to the south are the black and white villages of North Herefordshire with their cider orchards. Bucknell offers one pub serving food, whilst the nearby market towns of Craven Arms and Knighton offer a full range of amenities.
