The Grainstore is a beautiful well-appointed barn conversion in a quiet location and was perfect for our family reunion. The beds were very comfortable with the flexibility to serve as doubles or two singles which was ideal for our mixed age party of 10, and each of the 5 bedrooms had en-suite facilities. The safe on-site playground and games roomRead more kept the younger members of our group entertained for hours, and everyone had a wonderful time.
