Granary Villa

Wasn't welcomed, had to grab a guys attention who was walking past with some plumbers. I was told at this point(no call or email to tell me there was a problem with my accommodation) that there was a problem with the boiler and the room i had booked had no heating or hot water. I was told that the alternative room was better and that there was no charge for the upgrade. Happy days I thought....Entered the door into a shared kitchen area which was prior to my room door. I was met with muddy footprints, temperature was colder than outside, turned left to my accommodation door, internal door was white at some point but was now grubby /dirty fingerprints and foot marks. Opened the door and my first sight was a tatty chest of drawers which again was grubby and white paint was chipped from top to bottom down the side and corner. My first observation after this was the old people's home scent, and how cold/damp it felt in there. A quick check of the chest of drawers presented a used false fingernail, some used pins and a Costco receipt.No hot water and in lieu of adequate heating, a tatty electric heater which at that point wasn't switched on to heat the room prior to our arrival. So it was actually colder than the 8ish degrees outside.The 4 poster bed was rickety/loosely assembled, dusty surfaces and part used tea/coffee/sugar packets by the kettle.I immediately went and spoke to the guy who i had previously spoken to( as i understand he was just there to receive the plumbers and not actually an employee)He spoke to the manager within seconds and offered me alternative accommodation up the road at a pub, or £20 off my payment to stay where i was. My mrs had already started putting our bags in the car so I politely decided and asked for a refund

See aboveWe chose not to stay firstly due to the fact we were not given the room I had booked, backup room wasn't clean enough, and was freezing cold.

Wonderful peaceful location Lovely clean comfortable room Ross met us on arrival,he was very friendly helpfulReally enjoyed our little break Will definitely be back Thankyou

We just think the villa would benefit from having an indoor matAlso some kind of heating in the bathroom & kitchen

Location

Room too cramped with old worn furniture Strong smell of damp all the time unpleasantView at side and rear was abandoned fixtures & fittings

Location

TV didn’t work correctly Broken toilet seatOnly one towel between 2peopleLots of dust

Liked the self check in option and room being warm upon arrival - nice touch.

Little tricky to locate if you'd not had the very helpful staff update before hand.

Inappropriate venue for family.

The owner was untruthful about the facilities. The carpets and interior were unclean. There was excessive cctv cameras inside the property. Generally the feeling of being unsafe

I had booked the bridal sweet .but Ross upgraded me to the family room in the cosy cottage it's such a lovely room with a kitchen area it was so nice just to relax. Thank you, Ross

On arrival, the manager was very friendly

Decor was falling off the walls, the room was dirty. The cup had hairs in it, the shower was dirty, the carpet was stained.The manager had to arrange an oil filled radiator for the bedroom as the heating wasnt on, this didn't warm the bathroom.There were no towels so the manager had to get some.There was a kettle but no tea/coffee in the room, so had to make te in the communal kitchen, however the kitchen had no kettle.The road curtains didnt cover the window fully and there was a lot of road noise..It seemed like the owners decided they wanted to rent out rooms in an old house, and spent the minimum preparing them.Wouldn't stay again.The bed was reasonably comfortable, but the duvet was a poor fit.

Free parking outside the property.Access to good kitchen facilities.Accepted single night stop over.Good heating.

Some may find the main road a little noisy, but we weren't disturbed. Be aware you have to go upstairs to access the private bathroom for a twin room.

Had a good showerBed comfy

Needed a deep clean in communal areas Needed deep clean in room of carpet and very dusty at high level

The bedroom was clean, as was the separate bathroom. The television was good. The communal kitchen was very clean and well resourced.

Our beds were camp beds, not two singles as described. The bathroom was a long way away down the corridor up the stairs and then at the end of another corridor. Quite a traipse during the night. There were lots of marks and damp stains on the wall.

Lovely clean stop in a peaceful location

A little out of the way for food and drink choices if you don’t want to drive - debt little pub with ok food in walking distance though

Very helpful when we arrived early.

Bathroom not clean. A bit shabby overall. Not as expected as seen on the website. Perfectly adeqauate though.

The shower was good. The bed was comfortable. The place wasn't awful but we had a sense that whoever owns it has lost interest in it.

The door to the bathroom had been damaged and was not lockable. The property was next to a reasonably busy road with lorry's and loud cars zooming past which impacted my sleep. Felt more like a house of multiple occupancy rather than a hotel.

Bed comfortable

Couldn’t sit on toilet ( not enough room) had to sit sidewaysOriginal room booked had stairway to toilet outside of room ( in communal hallway)

The gentleman was very helpful and accommodating to our request.The room was beautiful and clean.Everything perfect.

Highly recommend a stay at this gem of a place in wonderful countryside but within striking distance of many local attractions. A beautiful property with beautiful rooms, it's so much better than staying at a hotel - a real home from home in a peaceful rural location. Proprietors are so friendly and helpful too. My stay could not have been more perfect and I highly recommend the Granary Villa to anyone!

Location, Kitchen Facilities, Staff

no en suite in our room

Looked ok on photos but didn’t match images.

Road noise unbearable,room far too small,parking spaces ridiculous,key entry for all rooms, not really what I would call a hotel!!.

We were greeted by Ross who was very nice and showed us to our room and explained everything we needed to know. He was available if we needed anything. this hotel does not provide meals.

Parking could have been better as there is only room for 5 cars and a space is not always available. As the hotel is near the road it can be quite noisy as the road is very busy with traffic. Other than that the room is lovely.
