  Fantastic stay at Granary 1.

  Would definitely recommend. The hosts Kate and Jonathan were very welcoming. We had waiting a basket of goodies, fresh flowers, fruit and Kate brought over some freshly made Bara-Brith (absolutely delicious!). One of the days we even got to try some Greengages from the garden and Jonathan even gave us some home grown vegetables which I made a lovely meal with. We went on some day trips to Hereford and Hay-on-Wye using the cottage as a base. There are a number of places to visit within a 30min drive and we found some great places to have lunch and walk. The cottage is a perfect location and very quiet but accessible. Just what we wanted for our stay. Its very modern and clean with a lot of outside space. The town is a short walk away, where there is a local shop, fish and chip shop and pub. We had our one year old with us and he had a lot of fun playing outside and seeing the sheep and the chickens. The cottage is child friendly and a cot was set up when we arrived. I wish we could have stayed a few more days! The cottage has everything you need for a relaxing break. The hosts were really kind and thoughtful and made the break even nicer for us. We will definitely go back to stay.

  The Granary is a little gem.

  It is spotlessly tidy and clean and perfect for a short or longer break. We have returned a number of times to Granary 1 and Granary 2. We have only stayed in the Autumn and Winter but I’m sure that it is even more splendid in the Spring and Summer. Kate and Jonathan are very attentive and so welcoming. We were overwhelmed by our arrival basket, filled with cheese, artisan bread, crisps and chocolate. There was also a fabulous bowl of fruit and a vase of beautiful roses. Our little dog loved his holiday and was also showered with doggy treats and kindness. The Granary is a great base for exploring north Herefordshire and south Shropshire, with Hereford, Hay on Wye and Ludlow a short drive away. The Welsh border is close too. Kate and Jonathan were very helpful recommending places to visit, including Lock’s Garage, again a short distance away, called, “The Fortnum and Masons of the Borders”, for its array of fruit, veg and meat, not to mention the ice cream. Local farm shops are “out of this world” and the kitchen is well stocked with pans and utensils if you want to cook. There are lots of lovely places to eat and pub in the village if you want to go out.

  We had a wonderful time at The Granary 1.

  Kate & Jonathan were pleasant and the building is beautifully done. Good parking facilities and a brilliant medium sized paddock next to the property for letting the dogs run loose. Plenty of dog walks around Hereford, particularly along the River Wye early in the morning and late evening were ideal as it was extremely hot during our stay. There are also plenty of towns within travelling distance by car from the property which made the stay more enhoyable, there are also a few good National Trust sites too. The welome hamper was great too, a fresh pint of milk in the fridge when we arrived, and the hamper included, a loaf, chocolate, biscuits and a large bag of crisps to share, along with a welcome note from Kate & Jonathan which also provided the Wi-Fi Code. The biggest plus, is Kate & Jonathan are very dog friendly and we have two very tired terriers after their stay. Thank you for providing a great place to stay, hope we come back some day.

  What a lovely cottage this is!

  Granary 1 is very peaceful, homely, comfortable, spotlessly clean with welcoming flowers and plants on the doorstep. Kate loves animals and our little dogs enjoyed the treats and the freedom of the adjoining field. It was lovely to step out there first thing in the morning and in the evening. We even saw a big owl sitting on our car on our first evening; priceless! Above all, thank you Kate and Jonathan for being such kind hosts, for all the lovely food, goodies and beautiful roses on arrival, the delicious homemade Bara brith and other yummy surprises. Herefordshire is a beautiful county. What struck us most was the numerous sweet scented wild flower meadows full of buzzing insects and butterflies. We did many long walks (Hay, the Sugar Loaf near Abergavenny, the White Castle, Bredwardine, Mordiford and Haugh Woods with a natural butterfly reserve), all in beautiful weather. We definitely recommend the Granary.

  Lovely place to stay close enough for my family meet up.

  Very clean and more spacious than I had thought. Good facilities to eat in The owners kindly left us some goodies (milk, bread, chocolate biscuits and some fruit) which was very welcomed by us. Bed was comfortable but I needed to use cushions as well as pillows which was just my personal preference as I have sinus problems. The shower was a telephone style and the water power not great but definitely useable and not a problem for us. The Granary is a clever use of space … everything you need for a comfortable few days away. We ate in the first night then as a family went to Ludlow and also the Kilpeck Inn (recommend this one). The Granary is a working farm so woken by cockerels but nothing bothered us and we loved our stay. A very pleasant and happy stay. Would definitely recommend and would come back when staying in Herefordshire. Thank you for a very comfortable stay at Granary 1
