Its a fabulous place to stay with children (or without). The owners are lovely and accommodating. John is such a friendly guy. The animals are all lovely and the children (and adults) loved seeing them, especially the newborn kittens. Its nice having the play area outside the house and the small lake and field at the back of the farm. Its our seconRead mored stay there and Id be happy to stay again. Its a very short drive to Tesco at Ilfracombe and its easy to get to Woolacombe, Mortehoe, Ilfracombe and Combe Martin. Hide

The property was lovely. Very cosy. We struggled a bit to keep it warm but its a big building. I would say the log burner needs attention. A new rope seal & possibly a sweep.. The cold weather didnt help but there was always plenty of hot water & a lovely shower in the wet room.

Lovely spacious cottage, rare to find something that caters to a pack of 5 dogs so we appreciated it! For the benefit of reactive dog owners, the small garden is front facing so something to note if they dont like people and dogs walking by with a low gate The location was perfect for us. Only 15 mins to beaches. We would have appreciated the headsRead more up that basics like washing up liquid weren't provided so had to dash to the shops but no real dramas.

We had a lovely relaxing stay at The Granary. It was peaceful and quiet and was exactly what we needed to decompress after a very stressful start to the year. We had 4 dogs and 4 adults stay and we had plenty of room. The facilities were great in the cottage and we had everything we needed during our stay.

The pictures of the Granary on the web site are dated and do not reflect the current condition of the property. Internally, it was very clean and comfortable, and the kitchen well stocked. Although, the hob in the kitchen was past its best. Lots of hot water. The proximity of the cottage to 3 very large cattle sheds, resulted in lots of flies. GoodRead more job there was a resident bat to combat them. The cottage is a little tired, but the hosts did all they could to make our stay enjoyable. Hide

Following on from above It is a lovely get away but I few safety measures around the pond would be a good idea with children running around ie:- a life guard ring on a rope or a jetty/pontoon built into the pond. I did enjoy our time there and would go again. Ilfracombe is a great place to visit and eat out and a Tesco's not far away to top up on aRead morell you need. Hide
