The granary was a lovely house, with modern amenities, but an olde worlde character. Comfortable , warm and clean, with a separate games room which was great for the grandchildren!We used it as a family get together home, for the family to celebrate my wife’s 70th. On the Saturday evening we staged a murder mystery and all played various parts! The house was ideal for that too. If you wanted to explore, all the ironworks attractions are within 30mins drive, and the market towns of Oswestry and Shrewsbury are close by too. All in all, a great place!! Thank you.

We had a great time staying at the Old Granary. It’s a very comfortable home and the communal playroom with snooker, table tennis, air hockey and a billiard table was a bonus we all enjoyed. There are some lovely walks in the area and it was really well situated for exploring Shropshire. We would definitely stay again.
