Because the Granary is such a welcoming and comfortable place to stay, it makes it easy to just do nothing if necessary. We stay there for 2 weeks twice a year, but staying at the end of the season it is noticeable that it has been well used, with chipped crockery, missing glasses and broken items that need replacing. Although on the face of it it looks clean, there were issues and we had to do some cleaning when we arrived, finding a pigs ear dog chew under the settee! The cleaner needs to re-acquaint themselves with the vacuum cleaner and the one provided was so full of very smelly dust and dog hair that it was unusable, making leaving the place clean and tidy on departure quite a chore. We missed the usual welcome pack of coffee, tea and biscuits and the washing up supplies provided were a starter kit only, lasting just 2 days, so you will need to bring washing up liquid, dishcloth, washing and dishwasher powder. However, all these are just niggly housekeeping issues which can be remedied very easily if deemed necessary and The Granary continues to be our favourite holiday stay.

A comfortable cottage in a peaceful location. Well equipped for a family and clean and pleasant. Very minor niggles - it would be really good to have a proper gate on the garden. This would stop off lead dogs wandering in and enable us to give our dog the freedom to lie in the garden. Guests with young children would also appreciate this I'm sure. It would not need to be a high gate but the loose bit of fence to pull across kept blowing over in the wind even though we weren't using it as a gate. A new non stick frying pan would be good as the coating has chipped or a second stainless steel frying pan. Minor issues though and overall very comfortable and enjoyed our stay. I'm sure we'll be back.

Only grip would be the stair gate to the ground floor which is very flimsy and the trellis across the entrance to the property which was broken. Really needs a hinged gate to secure pets and young children.
