The Grain Dryer Reviews

Lisa

A lovely cottage for a large family gathering. We were 4 families and there was ample space for everyone to eat and relax together, as well as quiet spaces to use if needed. The hot tub was fabulous and many places close by to visit. We loved the garden centre across the road for milkshakes and ice cream. Other than the beds which were not very comRead morefortable, we would highly recommend staying at The Grain Dryer. Hide

Helen

A great property for a large group stay. We loved the open plan downstairs and really enjoyed cooking and gathering round the large island area for breakfast or in an evening . The enclosed garden was perfect for 3 dogs and the hot tub was a lovely addition which we took full advantage of ! Definitely go to Over Farm for excellent farm shop produceRead more - butchery is outstanding . Wonderful days out nearby and the Red Lion pub made us very welcome - served excellent food for 13 of us too. Hide

Karen

Gorgeous house in great location. Plenty of room for our large family of varied ages at Christmas. Much fun had at the pool table and football table. Enough space to comfortably get together or escape from each other when needed. Easy to cook large meals (we managed a full Christmas dinner) and relaxing in the hot tub or in front of the TV afterwarRead moreds was perfect. Highly recommend coffee or breakfast at the garden centre across the road. Thank you for your warm welcome. We'll definitely be back. Hide

Samantha

A beautiful house in a beautiful setting with amenities close by. Some updates required within the property to ensure comfort in all areas. Lovely little welcome gift of milk and fresh bread. Would recommend.

Madeleine

A truly perfect place for a larger family get-together. Lots of things for the kids to do, the hot tub was a real treat, the layout of the rooms was very cleverly designed.

Claire

Had a fantastic stay with my family & friends for a 50th birthday. House was everything we hoped for & more. Well stocked with regard to kitchen equipment, crockery & cutlery for a large group. Bedrooms were beautifully decorated & accessorized, lots of handing space & good size towels in the bathrooms. Plenty of parking (we had six cars).

Joanne

Beautiful barn and so much space

Thomas

A fantastic property with excellent indoor and outdoor spaces for our 12 guests. The large living area into the kitchen downstairs meant that a large group could cook, dine, relax in front of the tele or play games on the pool and table football tables all in one space without tripping over each other. The bedrooms were each large and comfortable, Read moreand the bathrooms modern and clean. The hot tub and fire pit extended the fun into the garden during the evening. Hide

Claire

The house and location were lovely, perfect for celebrating my birthday. Only niggles were the hut tub was a bit of a pest as it kept losing heat (naturally) but it wouldn't reset in order for us to reheat it and the error codes it came up with weren't in the manual. The hot water to the property also wasn't on when we arrived and it appears to be Read morea tank system so we had to wait for that to heat up too. Otherwise a pleasant stay. Hide

Stacey

Great property in fab location. Perfect for a girls weekend. Some minor issues/feedback given but would recommend.

We would highly recommend the Grain Dryer; it was very comfortable; very well equipped and in a beautiful setting.

Margaret

The Grain Dryer was excellent for its amenities to keep guests amused or relaxed in the hot tub.

Stuart

We went as a family of six and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property itself is stunning, the hot tub, garden and being fully enclosed made it perfect for a family. Will definitely be staying again.

Daniel

Excellent stay for a group of 10

Suzanne

The weekend was perfect. Plenty of everything to go around, the bedrooms were lovely and comfortable. The place was spotless when we arrived and the late check out was welcomed by all.

Laura

This is a fantastic property that i would highly recommend. The open space is great for all the family, the pool table was a great addition. The space in the bedrooms and on suite bathrooms was also a plus, it felt like there was so much space. The kitchen had everything you could need, plenty of dishes, cooking equipment etc. Kids loved the games room, it exceeded my expectations. The owner was also great we had a couple of unforseen issues and he was on hand to resolve.

Ray

A great house for a family gathering, the children really enjoyed the pool table. It as a great asset to the house. Also we bought four bikes, and there was ample room to store them inside

Barbara

This house is just as it looks on the website -not always the case from our experience! It is spacious and modern and well appointed throughout. The owners were very helpful and we had a brilliant weekend. We have already recommended to friends!!!

David

Great property for a large family party. The hot tub at 32C was perfect during the hot spell and the decking area was really welcome. The owners also provided a couple of fans, the one downstairs being a large agricultural unit fitting the theme of the property which turned the area into a wind tunnel, fantastic!! The bathrooms were all large and c ool and we all liked the dressing areas in the bedrooms much better than wardrobes. The garden was also great for our retriever. Completely enclosed.

Janet

Family group for celebrating multiple 50th birthdays. Lovely property well equipped. The family room was not suitable for our party as my grandsons are 19 and 17 and both almost 6 ft. The younger one slept on sofa in living room. We had 2 small niggles. The barbecue had not been cleaned and needed attention before we could use it. The dispenser in washing machine also not fit for purpose until cleaned. Neither affected our stay.

Alexander

Stayed at The Grain Dyer with friends (couples, 2 children, 1 dog). Had a fabulous time, with minor caveats. Pros: Incredible house. Great downstairs space - makes you feel together even doing different things. Lots of activities all ages. Outside a very dog/child secure space. Brilliant hot tub! Cons: Uneven quality - IE older kitchen appliances t hat struggle to perform, wobbly taps, things like that. At night, even minor noise from downstairs travels to bedrooms easily. Bunk room beds poor.

Karen

Fabulous place for my hubby's 60th where we had 10 adults and 2 dogs staying for the weekend party and BBQ. The hot tub was a massive hit as was the pool and football tables. After our family left my hubby the dog and I lorded it up for a few days visiting local beauty spots and relaxing in the hot tub. I would highly recommend for large gatherings and very dog friendly. The Red Lion pub was also a hit as was the garden center opposite.

Dan

Can not recommend enough. Got the place for my Dad's 60th and he couldnt have been happier with it. Excellent facilities, comfy, stylish, clean, well equipped kitchen and a beautiful location. Everything we wanted and did not disappoint.

Lucy

The property was great but the barbed wire fence in the garden was far from ideal with young children. We would strongly recommend that an additional fence is installed to prevent injury in the future.

Jessica

A group of us stayed at the grain dryer for a hen weekend and we had the best time! It is an absolutely beautiful location and the house was simply amazing and has everything you could possibly need! The hosts were very helpful. We would definitely recommend and will hopefully return again soon! Thank you!

Clare

We had a great stay at The Grain Dryer and it was perfect for our party occasion. I would say the venue is not suitable for 13 adults - 10 adults comfortably but no more - but would be fine if your group included children. The outside space is great and the hot tub a good bonus.

Karen

A lovely house with great facilities. Im sure we will be back. My family loved it, both the old and the young - as did the dogs!

Heather

We had a lovely relaxing time at the grain barn, good use of the hot tub . Plenty to do around to keep you occupied with family of all ages.

Sophie

Cant recommend this house enough. 12 of us stayed here and loved every minute, perfect place for partying together and beautiful bedrooms/ bathrooms once the partying was done. Hosts were really helpful with any questions we had.

Karen

This is a beautiful place to stay. Plently of room and very clean. The kids enjoyed the games room and the hot tub was an added bonus! The owners were very accomadating and there at a drop of a call. Lots to do and great walks. We would go back.

Penny

Lovely spacious property with beautiful views of surrounding countryside. Stunning sunrise and extremely well equipped and comfortable. Ideal for large group gathering with accompanying dogs.

James

We all really enjoyed our stay at the Grain Drier. Set up was perfect with a massive settee, big dining table, hot tub and large beds. Complimentary bread, milk and Prosecco was also a nice touch.

Nathan

Very well thought out property. Perfect for large groups of people. Looking for a break away. Peaceful location also which always helps

Michael

We always meet up with 8 friends from all over the uk once a year !! We chose this beautiful property because of the location and we were not disappointed. The weather was glorious and the countryside was looking spectacular!! We would recommend this property to any large groups of people looking for a special place to gather.

Ellen

Lovely place, exactly like the images.
