The Grain Dryer Reviews

Oliver
We went as a family of six and had a great time during our stay. The property is absolutely stunning and the hot tub, gardenand fully enclosed space made it ideal for a family. We will definitely be coming back!
Emma
This house is exactly how it appears on the website - which isn't always true from what we've seen! It's spacious, modernand really well equipped overall. The owners were super helpfuland we had a wonderful weekend. We've already told our friends about it!
Sophie
The property was lovely, but that barbed wire fence in the garden really isn't great for little ones! We'd definitely suggest putting up an extra fence to keep everyone safe in the future. It would make a big difference.
Emily
This is a lovely place to stay. Plenty of room and very clean. The kids loved the games room and the hot tub was a great bonus! The owners were very accommodating and always there at a moment's notice. There's lots to do and fantastic walks. We would definitely go back!
James
We always get together with 8 friends from around the UK once a year! This lovely property caught our eye mainly because of its locationand it did not let us down. The weather was absolutely glorious and the countryside looked simply spectacular! We would definitely recommend this property to any large groups wanting a special place to meet up.
Lucy
Such a lovely place, just like the pictures show! We really enjoyed our time here and it felt exactly as we expected. Would definitely recommend it!
