Originally a grain barn, dating back some 300 years and still characterised by lots of captivating original features, the Granary Barn isnow a luxury holiday cottage in Suffolk. One of a private collection of dog-friendly holiday cottages down a leafy lane in the heart of the county. The Granary Barn is down a pretty country lane just outside the little Suffolk village of Stonham Aspal. There are lovely walks and cycling straight from the Barns and the pretty Suffolk Coast is just 30 minutes away. Bottle of champagne and a box of handmade Suffolk chocolates with every booking!
