    “We had a wonderful stay at The Granary!”

    Due to traffic being very kind to us we arrived earlier than the check in time, but after contacting Christine & Stanley they said that this wasn’t a problem. We were met promptly and shown around the property and grounds - all lovely. The Granary was spotless, milk had been left for us in the fridge along with a bottle of local apple juice and a cake. There was also a tray with various condiments, tea bags, coffee etc. The bedrooms were spacious, with wardrobes and drawers, and the beds very ...

    Due to traffic being very kind to us we arrived earlier than the check in time, but after contacting Christine & Stanley they said that this wasn’t a problem. We were met promptly and shown around the property and grounds - all lovely. The Granary was spotless, milk had been left for us in the fridge along with a bottle of local apple juice and a cake. There was also a tray with various condiments, tea bags, coffee etc. The bedrooms were spacious, with wardrobes and drawers, and the beds very comfortable. The wet room was amazing, and perfect for my elderly mum. There was a good selection of miniature toiletries in the bathroom cabinet too. Our cocker spaniel, Pippa, soon made friends and loved exploring the garden. There is also a field behind The Granary that we could use to walk her, with an opening in the far corner to various footpaths, which made for some excellent walks. It was a perfect base to explore Norfolk and what it has to offer. At the end of our stay we all said that it felt like we had been staying with friends, and mum said how safe she felt when we left her to take Pippa across the fields for a walk. Thank you Christine & Stanley for a wonderful holiday, we’d like to visit again in the future, if you’ll have us!

Enjoying a tranquil base, surrounded by nature-filled walking trails, and cycling routes within an area of conservation, whilst adorning an open-plan living space, an enclosed garden, and a gated driveway, the property offers the ideal base for a family or group getaway. Benefit from two private parking spaces, before taking two steps up to the property, starting off in the living space; here you can prepare meals in the well-equipped kitchen, dine around the breakfast bar, and relax with the Smart TV for entertainment. As the sun sets, enjoy a stroll around the lawned garden, finishing with a glass of wine upon the patio area, before returning indoors to complete your nightly routine in the wet room; the property also benefits from a separate cloakroom for convenience. Rest your eyes in one of two spacious bedrooms, including a double and a twin, before awakening to an itinerary brimming with adventure. Within driving distance from The Granary, reach a host of attractions, including the Forncett Industrial Steam Museum, the Earsham Wetland Centre, perfect for wildlife spotting, and Bressingham Steam Museum & Gardens, ideal for all the family, with pretty gardens, woodlands and an immersive tour. Car enthusiasts will also be in their element as Snetterton Racing Track and the Lotus Factory and test track lie nearby. Head to Harleston to find Georgian buildings lining its town centre as well as a variety of restaurants; or make your way to Norwich, reaching the Marston Marsh, the magnificent grounds of Norwich Castle, the lofty exterior of Norwich Cathedral, and the lovely gardens of Eaton Park and Whitlingham Country Park. The Norfolk Broads is also reachable by car, perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, whilst the Suffolk Coast is the ideal area for stunning sea views and beach days, stopping off at Lowestoft, Dunwich Heath and Beach, and Thorpeness. Journey to South Norfolk where you can explore the Waveney Valley, an unspoilt haven of wildlife and the perfect place to walk, cycle, canoe and sightsee; visit the hidden gem of Diss, where the popular Boudicca Way begins and meanders all the way to Norwich, passing the old Romant town of Venta Icenorum. If you're seeking independent stores and quaint pubs, the market town of Harleston is certainly worth a visit! Whilst on your travels, venture to the popular seaside town of Southwold where you can enjoy strolls along its extensive stretch of golden sands, visit and climb up the 19th-century lighthouse for breath-taking views across the sea or tour the quaint Southwold Museum.
