A short walk around the corner you enter a short gated walk way into a well laid out. sunny patio area. In through the front door The kitchen and living area all together as you enter.

Modern fitted kitchen with electric hob and oven, Small fridge freezer ,microwave cooker and washer/dryer.. Nice sharp knives and decent cutlery. The living area had a 3 seat leather sofa and 2 soft fabric chairs facing the chimney breast. A nice stock of books ,games and local information in the book case. A table and 4chairs that can be extended underneath the leaded window.. Up the small staircase to the carpeted hallway with loads of storage and head room. Bathroom facing, again modern with a bit of classic thrown in. Nice big shower and separate free standing cast iron bath, sink and toilet , leaded window. Large bedroom to the right with wardrobe side tables and chest of drawers. Very comfortable bed. Angled ceiling to the front. leaded window. across the landing , bedroom 2. large room with hanging rail and chest of drawers. Single bed underneath the window and another underneath the eves.. Loads of headroom upstairs, not so much downstairs with character original beams and white painted plaster throughout. Well planned, out and very clean in every aspect . Near to all the history of Stratford. Shops and pubs/ eateries within walking distance. We only used the car once while here . I would recommend this place to anyone .Communication with the agent was excellent. Everything you could wish for in a short break or longer at any time of year. Thankyou for a great vacation home.

  Lovely and well presented cottage with a well equipped kitchen.

  The cottage was very clean and perfect for our short (2 night stay). It was a good location with easy access to the M40 and easily accessible to Warwick and Leamington Spa as well as the popular Cotswold tourist areas and walks around Broadway, Stratford on Avon, Bourton on the Water, Stow on the Wold etc. The bed was probably one of the most comfortable beds I have slept in for a long time. The country park access is within walking distance of about 200 metres of the cottage albeit a bit of a steep climb into the park or a £3 parking charge but well worth the exercise each morning. The only criticism would be the lack of a coat rack, but fortunately for us we had good weather so leaving coats on the back of the chairs was not too much of a problem and the fact that the garden is not secure for the dog so he had to be supervised throughout the stay on the lead in the garden for fear of running onto the road. Was lacking an information pack on rubbish and recycling for the cottage and followed what the neighbouring cottage had done. Limited leaflet information and a information on walks in the local area with maps would be helpful to future guests as these we had to find on-line but often without the benefit of maps unless we signed up to various websites.

  We have spent a super week at Granary Cottage which we really enjoyed.

  The property was bright, airy, spotlessly clean and very well equipped with everything we needed (for us and our dog). The owner Mary was extremely welcoming and helpful. We originally booked because of its location next to Burton Dassett Hills (stunning views and lovely walks!) and we were attending an event at the nearby British Motor Museum on the Sunday but also found Granary Cottage very convenient to explore Stratford upon Avon and other delightful spots the Cotswold has to offer - Morton on Marsh (loved Batsford Arboretum), Bourton on the Water, Chipping Norton, Broadway etc. There's a good range of (dog friendly) places to eat locally with excellent food and locals ready to have a chat! Can personally particularly recommend The Malt Shovel Inn in Gaydon, The Yew Tree at Avon Dassett and The Wharf Inn in Fenny Compton (by the canal and charming!) We can highly recommend Granary Cottage and hope to be back soon.

  A lovely little cottage in rural location.

  Clean and basic facilities. Not really appropriate for dogs though as advertised as next to busy through road for village road. It would be much better if a fenced garden was an option. Unfortunately electricity was not working in kitchen when we arrived and we had planned on self catering meal for first night. We contacted host and needed to move between next doors cottage but that was being occupied the following night so needed to move between the two. This was an inconvenience for our first night on holiday. Electrician called round early in the morning. I asked if he would give us ten minutes as my children and husband were not yet ready. He asked to come in regardless which I felt uncomfortable with. Curtains would be useful or a weighted blind as we required windows to be open and light blind blew around all night and disturbed our sleep with noise and light into the room.

  There is no doubt that Masons Court is a wonderful historic building in a very convenient location.

  The courtyard was a bonus, and safe for our little dog, as long as other resident’s didn’t leave the gate open. I’m afraid I have to agree with the previous reviewer about the level of comfort. The bed is the most uncomfortable I’ve ever slept in! The kitchen area is very small, which I didn’t mind, but it was so cluttered that it was difficult to prepare even the simplest of meals (usually breakfast, we ate out most nights). Also, I had to wash one of the oven trays 3 times and cover it in foil before I could use it. All of the taps wobble, and need attention. Not major issues, but none the less need to be addressed. This is the 4th. holiday cottage that we have stayed in this year, in different parts of the country, although we love Stratford-upon-Avon, (we lived here in the early eighties), I’m not sure that we would stay at 1, Masons Court when we next visit.
