Really excellent accommodation furnished and equipped to a very high standard
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2020
A home from home. Warm and cosy. Spotlessly clean. The owners have thought about everything you could possibly need during your stay. The granary is close to so many activities and attractions, yet is set in peaceful and tranquil surroundings. The owners are amazing. Just around the corner if you need them, kind and considerate. The welcome pack, milk and brownies a lovely touch. Would recommend the granary and certainly revisit.
