Good base not to far from local amenities (1 1/2 miles to Framlingham). Sarah and Bill owners on hand if we had any issues. Best night sleep I have had in years. Peaceful just what was needed at Christmas.

This is our second stay at The Granary and if you like seclusion and dark skies it is in an ideal situation., oh and dog friendly. Aldeburgh & Southwold are within a 30 min drive and Framlingham is just up the road. The cottage was warm and cosy and suited our party of 6 needs. We ate out lunchtimes and didn't use any of the cooking facilities so can't comment on them. It is a quirky cottage and I would add that the owners are really friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed our stay and will hopefully visit again in 2026.

Myself and friends had a girly catch up weekend here as a Birthday celebration. The Old Granary is very homely and spacious. Definitely enough room to host up to 6 people. The beds were really comfortable and the shower above the bath is very powerful. The surroundings are beautiful especially on a bright and sunny day overlooking the pond. At night time we heard the owl and on a crisp clear night there are so many stars in the sky around the property. The local pub/restaurants were great and the local town Framlingham is a nice place to have a walk especially up to the castle and nice independent shops. We met Sarah who made us feel very welcome. Would love to come back again one day!
