A comfortable and spacious house in a delightful part of the country. The area is so quiet and peaceful. Any necessary shops are only a short drive away. Shops, pubs and restaurants can be a little expensive.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Granary. The cottage was very clean, well equipped and comfortable in a lovely peaceful countryside location. There was plenty of space, yet it still had a really cosy feel about it. We all enjoyed seeing the farm animals and Mike, the owner, made us feel very welcome.
