Summary:
The Old Granary is on a converted farm nestling in the small village of Branton in stunning North Northumberland. There are beautiful walks from the door; a short drive also takes you into the Cheviot Hills or the coast. Northumberland has many places to explore - castles, islands, valleys as well as the market towns of Alnwick and Berwick-upon-Tweed.
There is a gym, pool, spa, games room and play area on site with fun for all the family - these facilities are included in the cost.
The Space:
The Old Granary is on the first floor of a converted barn, accessed up an external stone staircase. Once through the front door there is a hallway with space for coats to hang up and a shoe rack.
The dining area and kitchen are open plan creating a sociable feel. Leading off this area is the cosy sitting room with a log burner, two comfortable sofas and a window seat overlooking the garden. There is a cupboard of maps, books and games to enjoy and a TV/DVD player with plenty of DVDs.
Also leading off the dining room is the utility room with a washer/dryer, microwave, and fridge freezer.
Down a short corridor, past the light airy bathroom, are two bedrooms; one double and one twin. Both rooms have storage allowing you to make yourself right at home.
The outside garden and patio are shared with other cottages, but this area tends to be very quiet. There's a playhouse for children to enjoy and plenty of space for games and picnics. Then it's a minute walk to the games room and then on to the pool, spa and the outdoor play area, tennis court and crazy golf. There is so much to enjoy when staying at The Old Granary.
