A Generous Dining Kitchen for Shared Meals
The heart of The Granary is its large dining kitchen. A double oven, large fridge-freezer and wooden-topped island give groups the practical space to prepare breakfast, cook a celebration meal or lay out an easy buffet after a day out.
The dining area sits alongside the kitchen, so everyone can stay part of the conversation. Open the doors to the garden in warmer weather or gather around the table while the countryside changes beyond the windows.
Afterwards, move through to the spacious lounge, light the log burner and settle in for the evening. A complimentary basket of dry logs is included for your stay.

A Private Garden, Hot Tub and Rural Views
The south-facing garden is private to The Granary and has direct access from the dining kitchen. There is room for barbecues, outdoor drinks and relaxed celebrations, with a hot tub for the end of the day.
The outlook is part of the experience. Birdforth Hall's long-horn cattle graze in the nearby fields, while our horse Revel and Bella the pig are among the familiar faces around the grounds. Children often enjoy the animals as much as the pool.
