"We had a wonderful four-night stay at The Granary. It was spotlessly clean and had everything we could possibly need. The bed was so comfortable and we slept very well. We enjoyed the peaceful, relaxing location. It was also great to not have to worry about car parking. Thank you Hazel and Robin for being such great hosts."
