We had a fabulous stay at the Granary. The kitchen was filled with everything you could possibly need for home cooking and plenty of crockery. The house was spotless and picturesque and we loved the view from the hill in the field.

A very comfortable and well appointed house in a delightful location. The accommodation is ideal for a large family group, with five good-sized bedrooms and five bathrooms, generous living space and a spacious kitchen. The location on the farm is very pleasant, and the surrounding countryside is simply delightful.We would thoroughly recommend The Granary as a holiday destination.
