The house is very spacious and well equipped. The spiral staircase up to the two bedrooms is very steep and narrow, this could prevent some less able people accessing this area. It is too steep for younger children without very close supervision.
The location of the house is very peaceful, great for a relaxing time together.

Lovely countryside surrounding the property with Oxburgh Hall a short drive or walk away. Beaches about 1 hour drive but worth it when you get there - Brancaster recommenced.

The Granary was set in a gorgeous rural location. It was a lovely property which has been masterfully refurbished, whilst the finishings remind you of its history as a granary. It was well equipped, comfortable and the owners were very helpful and accommodating.

A marvellous and cosy house with large windows facing nature.
A marvellous and cosy house with large windows facing nature. Warm and helpful welcome from Susie and Nick made the stay even better. A fireplace would have been the cherry on the cake but I appreciate it's not a common feature in old granaries :-)
