The Granary Reviews

Stuart
Absolutely fantastic cant wait to go back highly recommended, and Jayne the ... Absolutely fantastic cant wait to go back highly recommended, and Jayne the owner couldnt do enough for us she was brilliant
Caroline
A most beautiful property in a most wonderful and tranquil setting. Kids loved the friendly goat and the swing ball set. older family members loved the welcome basket of goodies. property was wonderfully clean and very comfortable. Only grumble would be that the local pub is no longer open and a walkable pub was on our search criteria. Would definitely recommend and look at returning ourselves.
