The Granary, self-contained B&B near Petersfield

The Granary is a little, self-contained cottage attached to the main house but with its own entrance, deck and BBQ area. Opposite our organic, sourdough bakery and set amidst beautiful gardens (croquet, hens, sunken trampoline, huge oaks) with footpaths, cycle routes and lanes into the national park, it is quiet, cosy and special. Choose your breakfast loaf direct from the bakery to enjoy with all the other bountiful and delicious ingredients supplied for you in your own, well equipped kitchen. Set in The National Park's beautiful agricultural countryside, we treasure our fresh, clean air, quiet days and silent nights (owls excepted) and love to share this with others. We take our environmental responsibilities seriously and can offer you free electric car charging - the electricity for The Granary, our on-site organic bakery and our home is supplied from renewable sources only. The central heating and hot water come from a reliable combination of ground source heat, solar thermal and wood-fired heating. You will be warm enough in winter but there's nothing that beats sitting beside a glowing, wood-burning stove ready for lighting when you arrive. And in summer, a cool drink beside the pond while watching the dragon-flies is a great treat. The Granary is perfect for two but many guests bring along a kid or two - so long as the little ones are happy on a sofa bed (bedding supplied). We can supply a travel cot for a baby. You are very welcome to bring along a well trained dog (we'll introduce yours to ours to ensure they're all friends) but remind you that we have free ranging hens in the garden and sheep in our fields, so if your dog needs to be kept on a lead, please do so. We will leave you in peace but you'll be able to track us down easily if you want any advice on local walks, on and off-road cycle routes, places to visits or pubs to go to. You can walk in the gardens and fields and follow the footpaths through woods and the South Downs. Road and off-road cycle routes are plentiful too. On bake days, you can watch a morning bake and choose your loaf straight from the baker's peel! There's usually someone around and about so we are there if you need us, but we will respect your privacy and will not intrude on your space. Petersfield train station is 8 minutes drive away (an hour to London) We are in proper countryside so you'll probably need a car (free electric charging here) or a bike to get here. Having said that, there are plenty of taxis at Petersfield Station (1 hour from London Waterloo), so if you want to arrive and stay put, it's perfectly possible!
