  • "This is a comfortable ,clean and inviting property."

    It's in a quiet peaceful area with the added bonus of being near to a beautiful farm shop for your fresh produce. On arrival we found a basket of goodies and everything to make a welcome cuppa. There was even chews for our Labrador Bess. We had a relaxing week here and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

  • "A lovely property."

    I stayed at The Granary for a week. The under floor heating is glorious! Having bathroom both up and downstairs is great. Although because of my dog (Micky), I stayed downstairs mostly and slept in a single bed for the first time in years. However, it was really comfortable. Being on my own, I felt really safe and secure at The Granary. There are great dog walks from the property, but take your wellies in the winter. The TV remote could do with replacing and regular kettle descaling as it is a hard water area. Everything you need is at the property, even a dishwasher. Luxury. Owners are friendly but not overbearing. I called for help a couple of times for minor things and Martin was right there. Their two dogs appreciate any treats you would like to offer and are really cute. There are horses, geese and chickens in the grounds which are lovely. The local pub had a new chef who hadn't really bedded in yet and our meal was so-so. Very friendly though. Really enjoyed my stay and won't hesitate to recommend it.

    Perfect for relaxing and watching the ducks and horses, or reading a book. The property itself was of a high standard with very comfortable beds, underfloor heating (which made the place lovely and cosy in the cold weather) and everything you could need for your stay. It is well placed for exploring the area and the hosts were lovely (friendly and helpful, but not intrusive). Will definitely be back again.

The accommodation was as good as a home from home could be; clean, well equipped, comfortable and we were left tea, coffee, sugar and milk and also some treats for our dog and biscuits and juice for us.

    Lovely to wake up to the sound of the ducks on the nearby pond and the horses being put out in the fields. Central to some great places to visit. The table had recently (?) been varnished but was still sticky. Given a ordinary smilie for cleanliness as the oven was in need of a good clean. We washed it but not on holiday to spend time on it.

    Super farm shop and café just around the corner and large village green with children's play area just a short stroll down the road. The property itself was well furnished, warm and boasted the most comfortable mattress (Eve models) that we have ever slept on away from home. The owners were very welcoming and always available if required. One small gripe was that the level of cleanliness could have been better when we arrived. A number of corner areas had accumulated dirt/hair and the dishwasher certainly needs a thorough clean/anti-bac wash out as it smells! Despite the presence of horses, chickens, ducks and geese it was mostly peaceful and our grandson loved the animals. The welcome pack of coffee/tea etc along with milk, juice, cookies and dog chews was a nice touch and very welcome. We would certainly recommend The Granary to anyone visiting the area looking for an lovely, rural retreat to base themselves in.

About the location

SUDBURY

Colchester 15.5 miles; Dedham Vale 11.2 miles

This small market town in Suffolk boasts pretty half-timbered houses, characterful sloping roofs and is home to the famous painter Thomas Gainsborough. Take a stroll along Gainsborough Street and down a little alleyway where you will find Gainsborough House, his birthplace and where he resided for many of his younger years. In this modest, late-medieval brick house is a marvellous collection of some of his finest work to be admired. Resting in the Stour Valley in an Area of Natural Outstanding Beauty, the surrounding majestic countryside of Sudbury is what inspired most of his paintings. Stroll along the River Stour and soak up the tranquil atmosphere or meander through The Croft with its green lawns and pretty wildlife, a lovely spot to take the kids to feed the ducks. Enjoy the beautiful architecture in the area, Sudbury presents a combination of Victorian terrace houses, Georgian manor houses and medieval timber framed Halls. Belle Vue Park is a lovely spot for kicking back and watching the world go by and there is an array of shops in the town to delight in.
