We love coming here - Latest Review of Granary Barn “We love coming here (it was our third or fourth visit) and will definitely return again. The girls loved feeding the chickens and Biscuit the dog. The houses looked to have been redecorated and were spotless. We had all we needed for cleaning/ toiletries. Very well stocked. The family are lovely and so helpful and friendly. There were plenty of ideas for things to do etc. at the house. Always look forward to our cake - thank you Isabel Tips for other travellers We loved Adventure Valley, the beach at Roker and Down at the Farm. We also did some lovely walks right from the house (the little lake and nature reserve nearby were great for the kids). We also did the Alice in Wonderland trail at Beamish Hall Hotel which the kids loved.” It’s lovely welcoming families back and having a good catch up, The girls where a great help with the chickens as well - farmers in the making! Looking forward to welcoming them back soon.
