We had an enjoyable holiday at the Granary. Lots to do in the area. The cottage is very attractive and was excellent value for money so I would recommend it. Overall I would say it is tired and some updates to towels and kit hen equipment would be welcome. The house is fully glazed front and back which normally would be lovely but we were there during a heatwave and it did become very hot. Hot tub is a nice extra.

Lovely accommadation other than the very noisy 3 steps st the top.of the stairs.Girl in the house next door was really noisy a couple of times with shouting and loud music.Hot tub said it was private but was actullay shared with others. You book a time slot to use it. On our last night booked it ftim 9 till 10 as others had booked 7.30 till 8.30. When we went to use the hit tub the owner had let out the water, so we were unable to use it.
