“Perfect get-away-from-it-all retreat” We had the pleasure of staying at the old granary for just over a week, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The hosts Gareth and Carol have shown great attention to every little detail to make you feel... more Response: Thank you for your very kind review. We look forward to seeing you again when you return to Roborough in July. Hopefully the warm summer weather will be here by then!

“Total relaxation and perfect in every way” The only negative was that we didnt stay long enough. Carol and gareth have a hidden gem and we already want to plan to come back again. Truely perfect. Quiet, peacful, cosy and comfortable. We even found the locals extremely friendly and can not wait to come back. Get away from the city and everyday stress and do it here just stay as long as you can. Thank you both Jade & Vaughn x Response: We are very pleased you enjoyed your stay, we look forward to welcoming you back. Hopefully the weather will have improved and you can spend longer relaxing in the hammock.

“Tranquil, idylic comforting stay” We had a wonderful, relaxing stay at owlacombe mill. Waking up to the sound of the brook, with incredible scenery and surrounded by complete tranquility. Gareth and Carol are extremely welcoming and helpful who gave us great insight to the history of the mill and surrounding areas. This is the ideal setting if relaxation is needed. Peaceful, beautiful with the most comfortable cloud like bed. We will be back Response: We are very pleased that you enjoyed your stay in The Old Granary. What a lovely description of the bed 'cloud like'. Cetainly describes a comfy nights sleep perfectly. We will look forward to welcoming you both back in the future.

“Superb accommodation in idyllic setting” We had a lovely time at The Granary and wouldn't change a thing about our stay, except for staying longer! There were some gorgeous freshly baked scones waiting for us on our arrival with lots of cream and jam. The breakfast hamper was massive and really good quality from the local farm. It was the best breakfast we have ever had! The Granary is a lovely size for two people and is decorated to an extremely high standard and has a feeling of cozy luxury to it. The log fire was well stocked and ready to go when we felt like it. The surrounding area is lovely and peaceful, I saw some deer within 2 minutes of leaving the back door of the cottage! The owners are very friendly and willing to accommodate any requirements but also very respectful of privacy. They even gave us some pheasant as we left, on the house! Overall if you are looking for an ideal getaway there is nowhere I could recommend more. Response: We are very pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Unfortunately we can't guarantee deer sightings for everyone! However, the pheasants are here all year round. hopefully we will see you again soon.
