A beautiful cottage in a perfect location for our weekend. Plenty of space for our group of 6 adults, including areas to leave wet / muddy outerwear as well as socialising space. Big, well equipped kitchen. Only downside was a lot was expected on checkout - including stripping beds and taking out rubbish. In general with this price point I have found these things are included in the cleaning fee which I think is fairer. Otherwise, no complaints.

Excellent stay. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. The granary was so clean and there was everything there you could ask for. So many sites to see and very central for everything. Would recommend it to anyone.
