  Very friendly neighbours in the farmhouse - especially the dogs!

  Gorgeous location on a working farm and the cottage was spacious and comfortable. The directions to the farm were good. We suspect the lack of loo paper on our arrival was an oversight. A couple of teabags would have been nice too. We failed to notice that there is a fridge but no freezer in the description. The dishwasher didn't seem to want to work, but washing up for only 2 was not a problem - once we'd bought more washing - up liquid, and a dish cloth etc. Excellent local supermarket in very nearby Craven Arms. The heating in the house was excellent, and we were able to dry our washing in the spacious airing cupboard ( the dryer with the washing machine did not seem to be effective) For the price, lack of things like loo roll, adequate washing-up liquid etc is not unreasonable. I suppose it's just that we've come to expect it in previous similar holiday cottages we've stayed in, and when you are only away for a week or less then you don't really want to have to buy or bring those sort of things with you; it just feels a bit stingy and unwelcoming on the part of the owners, which is a pity as they were very warm people. I wouldn't mind paying a little extra to be sure basic things like this are provided.

  We loved Marigold Cottage.

  And we loved Clun. A small village of 680 people but with two pubs, a village store with Post Office, ironmongers, gift and craft shops, two cafes, a mini tourist information and shop. Walks all around - wonderful countryside. The National Collection of Aeoniums if you're into horticulture. The cottage itself has everything you might want and we hardly used the central heating as, although the weather was wet and windy at times, the wood burning stove heats the whole cottage (although not great environmentally of course but just occasionally it's lovely to have). We cooked a lot and found everything we needed - the knives were sharp! Thoroughly recommend. Enjoy.

  A little spartan.

  Though good quality furniture. Very hard mattress. Need a table and chairs outside. But overall great place to stay. So peaceful and quiet. Beautiful scenery. Added bonus of so much wildlife especially birds which was fantastic to see and hear. Lottie is a surprise and delight. As were the horses and wandering sheep. Its a little piece of heaven. The surrounding area, towns and villages are stunning. Highly recommend Clun, Ironbridge, Ludlow, leintwardine and little Stretton. Some fantastic cafes and bars in all of these places. They all work so hard on the farm. Frank and his family were lovely and so helpful. Would definitely stay again.

  We had an enjoyable stay at this cottage.

  The cottage is cosy and in a really nice little town with some good shops and pubs within walking distance. The countryside is beautiful and very quiet and unspoilt. The wood burner was great and the bed and sofa were comfortable. There are a couple of things that could have made it even nicer; we missed having a proper shower (the bath is under a sloping ceiling so you can't stand up in it) and there was a slightly musty smell when we first came in and also in some of the kitchen cupboards but this is a very old property so that may be hard to resolve. Great value for money though so we would come and stay again.

  Our stay at the Granary really worked its magic and we have come back feeling refreshed.

  The accommodation is spacious and comfortable and good to come back to after a good walk and visits to the many things to do in South Shropshire. We enjoyed staying on a working farm and chatting to the friendly owners who gave us very helpful information about the local area. The Granary is set in a peaceful and beautiful location, yet many interesting places like Ludlow and Stokesay Castle are very near. We usually prefer to explore new pastures when we go on holiday but we would definitely consider returning as we had such a good time and there is still so much we didn’t have time to fit in!
