Nestled in the tiny hamlet of Brigham, these former farm buildings date back to the 1700s and have been lovingly converted to provide wonderful holiday homes. All the properties feature cosy underfloor heating as well as wood burners - ideal for those cooler evenings. Especially suitable for families with young children, the cottages have been individually decorated - each having been carefully designed. Outside, there are shared one-acre landscaped grounds to enjoy, with seating and a charcoal barbecue outside each cottage, which makes a perfect place for a summer picnic.
Ideal for families, as children and adults alike can enjoy farm life, gathering eggs for breakfast and feeding the friendly horse, sheep, goats and guinea pigs on the children’s farm. For older children there is shared use of a games room with a full-size snooker table and table tennis, whilst for the younger ones, a large sand pit, pedal tractors, trailers and diggers and various outdoor games are available. Within the locality there are also a number of golf courses, and riding stables are 10 miles away. Set alongside the Driffield Canal, it is the perfect location for those who enjoy ‘messing about on the river’, as there is a small jetty for those who wish to bring their own canoes or small boats and fishing is nearby.
Brigham village is noted in the Domesday Book and lies as a sleepy hamlet, yet just a few miles distant is the historical market town of Driffield. Delightful York (30 miles) is always a pleasure to visit, with plenty to do and see for the whole family. The magnificent minster dominates the city, which is full of quaint shops, restaurants and pubs. Together with the Jorvik Viking Centre and the National Railway Museum, this historic city makes for an entertaining day out.
For lovers of the outdoors, there are numerous walks for all standards including gentle strolls along the banks of the canal, coastal walks or taking in the magnificent scenery of the Yorkshire Wolds. The beaches of Bridlington, Scarborough and Filey are easily accessible, and Hornsea with its ‘Freeport Shopping Centre’ is also well worth a visit. The area boasts a number of stately homes, as well as theatres and cinemas. Shop within 2½ miles. Several pubs/restaurants within 3 miles.

Brilliant week at The Granary - well equipped, great games room and play area, lovely to be able to feed the animals and collect eggs. Nothing too much bother.. Lots of thoughtful extras and a generous Welcome Pack.

Probably the best value for money property we've stayed in. We were only looking for 3/4 nights initially but great value that the full week was the same price so some stayed longer! Equipped with everything you'd want. Enough kitchen stuff to host 15-20 people! Size of kitchen/diner table was fantastic. Very warm property despite the wooden floors. Underfloor heating likely the reason. Shame we didn't need to light the open fire! Owners and staff incredibly friendly and couldn't help enough with queries and help and advice. The extra facilities were great for all. The grounds and farm activities brilliant and the quality of the snooker table (despite a very small chunk missing from the cloth) and the table tennis table unexpected. Tough to keep things perfect when used by so many. Even options for bird/owl watching in the fields. Everything is driving distance but there's enough there that one doesn't need to leave the property if you've got enough supplies!Couple of minor points with us not quite being prepared for the low beams at one end of the cottage, and the bath was enjoyed by the kids but it's not quite adult friendly size. There are three bathrooms/shower rooms rather than the two advertised on cottages.com (I nearly didn't book it as thought only two, so worth that being updated). Would highly recommend. Thanks for a great stay.

The perfect cottage, we'll be booking again for next year. Has everything you can possibly need and it was so warm, clean and comfortable. We loved our family weekend at The Granary and can't wait to go back 😊
