Romantic and secluded it was the perfect getaway for a relaxed weekend away for two. Room was so cosy and warm, deceivingly roomy and the yurt was fully stocked with blankets, coffees and board games we took full advantage of! There was campfire equipment provided which we enjoyed very much as we ordered some pizzas and sat by the fire. The owners were very friendly and provided all information we needed via text and we had a nice chat with the land owner who recommended a lovely local pub to eat at. Could not recommend enough.

We enjoyed an excellent stay at The Granary in advance of our wedding. The property was perfect for our needs and was a very useful base to help us prepare for the big day. The hosts in particular were very warm and welcoming, and were there for us should there have been the need for any additional help. We would definitely like to stay here again!
