Hamsterley Forest is one of the north’s most popular destinations for cyclists too, and is only 4 miles away. This impressive 2000-hectare site covers some of the most beautiful countryside and offers various bike trails of different difficulties and plenty of walks for guests of all abilities including the very popular Gruffalo Trail for children.

A home from home.
A home from home. Warm and cosy. Spotlessly clean. The owners have thought about everything you could possibly need during your stay. The granary is close to so many activities and attractions, yet is set in peaceful and tranquil surroundings. The owners are amazing. Just around the corner if you need them, kind and considerate. The welcome pack, milk and brownies a lovely touch. Would recommend the granary and certainly revisit. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

We chose the Granary for its location and the pictures of the interior; we were not disappointed.
We chose the Granary for its location and the pictures of the interior; we were not disappointed. The Granary is just a lovely place to stay, well away from the road, with great views and peaceful surroundings. Inside is comfortable, well equipped and just lovely. All this together with very welcoming hosts made our short break truly enjoyable. We had our two labradors with us who quickly settled in and found the garden to be perfect, very safe and secure. We hope to return again later this year.
