Our hosts, Julie and Stuart, were superb and made our entire family very welcome. The property was cosy, clean and had everything our family of 4 could possible need. We would definitely recommend this property to others. Thank you for the huge chocolate brownie cake, the rides on the go cart and don't forget the tin opener
Eli
The owners were extremely welcoming and very patient with the children. The hot tub was very clean and well kept. All in all highly recommendable!!
Jill
The hosts, Julie and Stuart could not have been more accommodating. The home made lemon drizzle cake from Julie was to die for and the bottle of Prosecco in the fridge was a lovely surprise. Julie very kindly sent directions in advance which were super helpful as we all were arriving from different directions. The hot tub is maintained daily by Stuart and was simply divine on an evening. We enjoyed using the log burner too which heated the ground floor in no time! There is an abundance of leaflets available at The Granary offering places to visit options but we also found that Julie and Stuart were happy to recommend some places to go too. This is one of the nicest properties we have ever stayed in and would highly recommend this as somewhere to stay for anyone looking for a bit of luxury and/or some peace and quiet.. It was fabulous
