What our guests say
We have spent a lovely week at The Granary and have really enjoyed exploring some of the lovely beaches and forest walks in the area. Rendlesham Forest and Dunwich Heath were particularly good and provided lovely walks which we and my very energetic cocker spaniel thoroughly enjoyed. The Granary was perfect and in a lovely quiet location from where one could walk without getting into the car. Our hosts were friendly and very helpful. I would certainly recommend this property and would be very happy to stay there again.
