Guestbook for The Granary
A genuine rural retreat - we've loved the views and sunsets, watching the buzzards flying and the farmer wrappin his hay in cling film!
...certainly a place to come and relax away from the dirty city.
..we loved the quirky artworks around the place, the rustic garden and the resident deer on the track.
Wow! What an amazing new year. Such a romantic retreat from the world. Jim proposed to me at your lovely, cozy Granary and we will remember your kindness, your obvious love of life and your family for ever.
Who could fail but to fall in love with the Granary. So much packed into such a small space - we loved it! Had a lovely weekend enjoying the forest. The Bedouin tent style is just superb. 10/10 to Mandy and David Lloyd.
Loved the bath and views of the stars through the skylight.
An amazing, magical, serene valentines weekend. The cottage is a perfect retreat, and the Lloyds are the most hospitable people ever. .... It's the perfect place to spark a new flame, rekindle an old one, or keep a coasting one burning.
Had a great surprise birthday. What a beautiful place - especially in the snow.
