We had a lovely weekend with 11 of us celebrating my dad’s 80th birthday at The Granary.The house was exactly as pictured. It was well equipped and spotlessly clean. The weather was cold and wet so we didn’t get to use the outside space but the main living space was so lovely with the huge windows and views outside. It was a perfect dinner party space.Be aware, the location is beautifully rural and, therefore, wifi and mobile signal are very poor - a perfect excuse to encourage the kids to be ‘off grid’ for a bit!Bedrooms 2 and 3 are above bedroom 1 accessed via the spiral staircase and the galleried second lounge. They all share the wet room. Bedrooms 4, 5 and 6 are accessed via a separate normal staircase and are above the main living space.
