Barry
We had a wonderful holiday at Granary Barn , Martin and Caroline were great hosts and always helpful the whole area around the different accommodation’s was kept in beautiful condition. We did not use the pool as we are not really swimmers but would be a great addition to other guests. Loved exploring Norfolk,Suffolk and Cambridgeshire as Banham is in a central position. The Barn was the best self catering accomodation we have been in and we have visited quite a few over the years, thanks again to Martin and Caroline.
