The property's furnishings and decor receive compliments for their quality and comfort.
Reviewers frequently mention the cottage's cleanliness, describing it as 'extremely clean' and 'immaculate', indicating a high standard of cleanliness throughout the property.
The location is highly praised for its quietness, beautiful countryside, and proximity to local walks and National Trust properties. The village's charm and the presence of wildlife add to the appeal, although one mention of poor phone reception slightly impacts the score.
Comfort is a strong point with guests finding the beds very comfortable and the cottage cosy. The presence of an open fire and quality furnishings contribute to a relaxing stay, although a single mention of firm beds suggests a slight variance in guest preferences.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and secure garden. However, there are a few minor maintenance issues noted, such as a tricky front door lock and a shower head not being secure, which slightly lower the score.
The owner's thoughtfulness is appreciated, with mentions of welcome biscuits and milk, and a dongle provided when WiFi was down. While these gestures are warmly received, it is noted that such personal touches, though delightful, are not guaranteed.
Nestled amongst the rolling countryside of Warwickshire, in the charming market town of Priors Marston, rests this homely bungalow, 5 Grange Cottages. Set across one level and sleeping up to four guests, 5 Grange Cottages makes an idyllic base for a small family or two couples looking to experience the delights of this picturesque area. Park up on your private driveway before unloading your bags and taking in the stunning green scenery surrounding your new home-from-home; a truly lovely spot to escape reality and enjoy a staycation with your loved ones. Stepping inside, kick off your shoes as you enter into the hallway and follow the corridor through to the snug sitting room, where you can look forward to flicking on the Smart TV and relaxing with a steaming cup of coffee, gently warming your toes with the glow of the open fire in the cooler months. When stomachs start to rumble, move through your lovely abode to discover the well-equipped kitchen, home to a fabulous range of conveniences to entice any budding chef to rustle up some delectable dishes to be enjoyed in the bright and airy conservatory-come-dining room. In the warmer weather, take your dining experience outdoors with a leisurely seat on your private patio, where you can soak in the last of the evening sun with a crisp glass of wine in hand, backed by the peaceful setting of the surrounding countryside. As the day draws to a close, retreat indoors to find two well-presented bedrooms, a king-size and a double, each serviced by the family bathroom, where guests can choose between a blissful soak of an evening or make use of the overhead shower to relish a quick rinse in the morning. Take a break from doing the cooking and take the short walk to the nearby pub, The Hollybush Inn, where you can treat your loved ones to a great selection of ales, or if you'd prefer to put your feet up, head to the New Water Margin to pick up a delicious Chinese takeaway to enjoy from the comfort of your holiday home. For a wider variety of choice, the delightful pubs of The Red Lion at Hellidon and The Butchers Arms in Priors Hardwick rest slightly further afield, promising to serve something to suit all tastes and budgets. There's plenty to see and do nearby to keep entertained during your staycation, including leisurely strolls along the Millennium Way and the Oxford Canal Walk, whilst the Honesberie Shooting School offers a unique experience for a spot of clay pigeon shooting. If you time it right, head to the historic market town of Southam to peruse the stalls of the regular farmer's market, perfect for stocking up on fresh, locally sourced produce to rustle up during your stay, whilst the towns supermarket offers all of the essentials. Get your steps in with a wander alongside the waters of Draycote Water reservoir, where you can catch glimpse of an array of bird life, embark on a two-wheeled adventure along the cycling trails, or cast your line and try your hand at fishing. A trip to Warwickshire would not be complete without a visit to Stratford-upon-Avon, renowned as the home of famed playwright, William Shakespeare, here you can catch a performance at The Royal Shakespeare Theatre, tour the charming wattle-and-daub family home of Shakespeare's wife at Anne Hathaway's Cottage, or get dressed to the nines and enjoy a day at the races. Whisk your loved ones away on a memorable retreat with a stay at 5 Grange Cottages.

Conservatory tiles much better. Bedrooms small for doubles. Shower head not secure Front door lock difficult to lock and unlock. Conservatory door difficult to open. Cobwebs to conservatory ceiling Door nobs to wardrobes loose. Trickle vent to main bedroom window was broken when we arrived. Lots of leaves to garden that kept getting brought in to house. Some lights to garden did not work. Main bin outside full to top. 4pm late arrival not suitable, 2pm at latest would have been much more acceptable. Bed very comfortable. Tea, coffee and milk a nice touch as property is remote. Property overall is nice and peaceful but slippery flooring to kitchen prompted us to cut short our stay as one of the dogs could not cope.

Otherwise, we very much enjoyed the spacious kitchen, living room, conservatory and garden. Bedrooms and bathroom are adequate, if a little small.
Angela
Itâs in a quiet, peaceful location and has a beautiful, large garden. Would definitely stay there again!
