Granary Cottage was well equipped and very comfortable, and was well suited to our needs. Its location was excellent for getting to the coast from Croyde round to Minehead. The farm setting was superb, being quiet, and the facilities for children with access to the various rescue animals and play barn was very useful in keeping them amused.
