About The Old Granary

A long stone granary with a vaulted living space, a big kitchen table, an enclosed garden for the dogs and a private hot tub under the stars.

The Old Granary is the biggest of our three, made for families and old friends. The ground floor opens into one long, vaulted room: a kitchen with an island and a table for eight at one end, sofas and a log burner at the other, and glass doors onto the garden.

There's a king-size bedroom and a wet room on the ground floor, so it works well for grandparents or anyone who'd rather avoid stairs. Upstairs are a double and a twin, and a bathroom with a roll-top bath. The garden is fully enclosed (a good height for most dogs), with a private hot tub, outdoor dining and a fire pit.

Things guests always ask

Can I bring my dogs?

Yes, up to two, at £25 per dog per stay. The garden is fully enclosed with a fence about 1.2m high. Please keep dogs off beds and away from the hot tub.

Where do I park?

There are three spaces in the private courtyard, a few steps from the front door.

What are the hot tub rules?

It's yours alone for your stay, and it's drained, cleaned and refilled before every arrival. Please shower first, no glass in or around the tub, no under-8s, and children under 16 must be supervised. Keep the lid on when it's not in use. It's available until 11pm out of courtesy to the other cottages.

Where's the nearest pub and shop?

A traditional pub that serves food is about 5 minutes' drive away, and a village shop is 4 minutes' drive away. For a big shop, the nearest supermarket is about 15 minutes' drive away, and most of the big chains deliver here.

Is there mobile signal?

Usually 2 bars in the living room and good in the garden. Wifi is reliable throughout thanks to a mesh booster.

Are there stairs?

Only to the two upstairs bedrooms and bathroom. The king-size bedroom, wet room, kitchen and living space are all on the level ground floor.
