About Granary Loft

Granary Loft is a first-floor studio apartment set in a converted Grade II listed barn on the Leicestershire and Lincolnshire border. This oak-clad retreat sits among open countryside in Croxton Kerrial, right on the Viking Way walking route. The Vale of Belvoir surrounds you with rolling farmland and big skies.

The location puts you between three counties. Melton Mowbray is 9.9 miles away. Stamford with its golden sandstone buildings sits 12 miles distant. You can reach Rutland Water in 22.3 miles. Walking routes start from the doorstep. The Viking Way path runs just yards from the property.

The studio layout includes a super-king-size bed, kitchen with electric oven and hob, dining area and sitting area with 42" Sky TV. The separate shower room has a walk-in shower and underfloor heating. Outside you get a south-facing courtyard with firepit, lockable bike storage and parking for two cars. Your dog can run in the adjoining paddock.

Belvoir Castle (6 miles, 15 minutes) offers gardens and history. Belton House National Trust property sits 8 miles away (18 minutes). Woolsthorpe Manor where Isaac Newton was born is 7 miles distant (16 minutes). Burghley House near Stamford makes a grand day out at 12 miles (22 minutes).

Granary Loft works perfectly for couples wanting countryside peace and walking routes. The rural setting delivers proper quiet with friendly hosts next door.

Granary Loft Reviews

Our second time staying at the Granary Loft. We absolutely love staying there, also Peter and Helen are very friendly and most welcoming. I would definitely recommend this place for couples but probably not a family as there is just the one bed.

Very nice stay. Great hosts. Very friendly.

Hayley

Beautiful place to stay and the owners are so lovely. They made sure we had everything that we needed. Such a wonderful location for walks with the dog and not far from interesting places to visit. The bed is super comfortable and the seating in the lounge area was very comfortable too! 1010 would definitely stay here again.

Judith

My 2nd visit to the Granary Loft and it was as charming and peaceful as the 1st visit. Excellent communication from Helen and lovely to finally meet Peter! I have nothing but praise for the location, accommodation and hosts and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay again....I will most definitely be back. Jude & Taffy xx

Alison

Wonderful stay. We were gutted when personal circumstances forced us to cut short our stay. We would definitely book to stay there again.

Andrew

It was brilliant, very comfortable. The owners were lovely and helped settle in when I arrived. It's warm, spacious and in a great location. Thanks!

k Robert

Had no trouble finding the location with the owners instructions. Nice loft apartment in the roof space of an old barn type building. All we needed for a few days stay to visit places in the area. Good walks and a field next to property, so great for our little hound. Ideal location for us a few pubs in area for eating out and Grantham not far if you need shops or a takeaway meal.

Sandra

I loved this place so much I didnt want to leave from the lovely people who own it to the great accommodation . also countryside views . Perfect spot for my stay

Judith

My first visit and I've already booked to return. .. should tell you something at least. Great comms from Helen before the stay and also popped in on arrival and day of departure. Great location, brilliant paddock for my dog, clean, well stocked kitchen area, a mahoosive comfortable bed and so peaceful. I'm looking forward to going back in January Jude & Taffy

Michael

Yvonne

Hilary

Thankyou for the most wonderful stay in the beautiful area of Croxton Kerrial. We were looked after so well. We really didnt need anything as the property well equipped. The sun area was lovely and so peaceful. It was lovely to practice yoga in the sun, outside on the lawned area of the paddock. Walking area amazing

Philip

Nice little apartment in a lovely quiet location . Very pleasant owner couple living next door . Useful helpful information. Nice bed , shower room and comfortable lounge .

Robert

A very nice very large single room and bathroom apartment. Clean and furnished to a good standard. It is a loft apartment so there is a set of outside steps to negotiate. Guests have their own dedicated outside area with table and chairs and use of a lockable exstable to house bikes and other bulky stuff if necessary. Would recommend Granary Loft and would not hesitate to stay there again if holidaying in the area.

Judith

I had a most relaxing week at Granary Loft and thoroughly enjoyed visiting the various historical sites in the area. Peter and Helen were very friendly and welcoming hosts. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Don't be put off by the fact that the let is all in one room. It is warm and cosy. Light and airy. Quiet location. Melton and Grantham are a short drive away. The owners were very welcoming and made us feel right at home. We hope to return in the not too distant future. We thoroughly recommend this property. It is one of the most relaxing places we have stayed in. Andy Cobb

The property was just as described, excellent accommodation for two people and the hosts were lovely and very approachable, would definitely recommend to friends and family, had a great chilled week with lots of places to visit nearby.

We have just spent a wonderful, relaxing week at Granary Loft. Helen and Peter are lovely hosts, friendly and helpful, but never intrusive. We really appreciated the welcome gift of a carton of milk and flowers. Granary Loft has everything you need for a perfect stay. It is warm, clean, and spacious with a fabulously big and comfortable bed! It was a great base to return to after exploring the local area. There are several National Trust properties nearby the beautiful Belton Estate, Woolsthorpe Manor the home of Sir Isaac Newton and The Workhouse and Infirmary. They are all very interesting. We thoroughly enjoyed our first trip to Lincolnshire and our week at Granary Loft and plan to return in the near future. Caroline and Kevin

Michael

A very comfortable and convenient base for exploring an interesting area We only had 3 days there but easily fitted in trips to Belvoir Castle gardens, Isaac Newtons birthplace at Woolsthorpe Manor and the magnificent Belton House, all very close nearby. The owners provided suggestions for countryside walks and we particularly enjoyed a walk in Denton around a feeder reservoir for the Grantham canal where we saw herons and cormorants.

Robert

Had a very nice stay here it was comfortable, quiet and a ideal base to go out from each day. The owners are very nice.

Joanne

Excellent accommodation, with everything we needed. Comty seating, comfy bed, nice shower. Very friendly hosts. Great communication beforehand. Enjoyed sitting in the garden, which is set in peaceful surroundings. The dog got use of the paddock for zoomies he was gutted to come home lol! The Viking way path to the airfield is good dog walk, but it is quite overgrown in places, after the rain we got a bit soggy! Belton House, Lincoln dog friendly cathedral and Stamford town all worth a visit. A smart TV would be a good addition. Football was on grrr so nothing much to watch on the 'normal' channels. There's a DVD player, I didn't see it on the listings or I'd have took some DVDs. There's also a small Freezer which was a bonus. Very enjoyable holiday in beautiful surroundings, ideal for a relaxing holiday.

Great accommodation both inside and out, with everything needed for a home from home stay. Absolutely perfect for us holidaying with a dog. Friendly hosts too nothing too much trouble, helped make our break even better.

WE REALLY ENJOYED OUR STAY AT THE GRANARY LOFT. THANK YOU HELEN. WALKS ALL ROUND US, BELLA WAS LOVING THE MUDDY WALKS BUT Everything was at hand to clean her when we got back to the granary loft I would high recommend the granary loft. Lovely big shower bed really comfy everything you need for a relaxing holiday

Nicholas

Granary Loft. .... What can we say! A wonderful break for us all, including Harley our Collie cross Labrador. Helen and Peter made us feel realy welcome and at home, they loved Harley! The milk and Daffodils were an added bonus, beautiful. It was above and beyond our expectations, lovely and peaceful, with plenty of walks nearby, including the Viking way, about a hundred yards or so from our front door! Everything was clean and tidy and warm as well, all the amenities you could wish for a welcome break. A very comfortable queen size bed to rest our weary heads, after a busy day exploring. Many lovely villages to visit and superb ale houses which also provided excellent beer and food. Not far to travel to Belvoir Castle and the Grantham canal. We were so laid back we were horizontal, a superb place for our two week break and plenty of space for Harley to run and play. The weather was pants, but we were warm and dry, a wonderful place for a real break from the hussle and bussle of the busy world in which we now live. We shall definitely book again and are looking forward to our next visit. Thank you so much Helen and Peter. God bless you. Nick and Margaret.

Caroline

Fabulous property, in a lovely quiet part of the world. Good base with plenty going on nearby, gorgeous sunrise through the loft window and friendly owners, who were extremely helpful if needed. Would highly recommend and my dog and I will definitely be returning to one of the nicest places we have ever been to.

We had a wonderful stay at Granary Loft and were welcomed by Helen and Peter who made us feel at home. Thank you for the milk and flowers left for us. The loft was a brilliant base for us to explore the area. We experienced some lovely sunrises and sunsets from the roof window and enjoyed the views over the countryside. Our accommodation was so comfortable and cosy, with the highlight of the underfloor heating in the large bathroom. Everything we needed was provided to make our stay excellent, especially the super king bed. Thank you so much for our much needed break and we will certainly love to visit again if we are in the area.

Well, what can I say, absolutely fantastic cottage, clean, comfortable, cosy and very peaceful. Loved it so much we have just booked for two weeks in December. Tommy, our springer spaniel, loved the paddock and sitting on top of the steps surveying the world. Helen and Peter were the perfect hosts where nothing was to much trouble. Thank you so much, see you in December. Kay & Tony xx

Lovely studio apartment with plenty of room for 2 people. Helen and Peter were very friendly and lovely to talk to, recommending a couple of places to visit which we really enjoyed. We had 30c heat which was surprising for September then a few day's later a day of rain at 17c, the Loft was very comfortable in both 'extremes '.

Chetan

Beautiful property and location with lovely outside space. Hoping to go back for an extended stay.

Just returned from a wonderful, relaxing week at Granary Lodge. The hosts were fantastic, genuine, lovely people, from the first email to returning the keys nothing was too much and they always had a smile. The lodge is clean and comfortable with everything you need. We made lots of use of the outside space having bbqs most evenings followed by a relax around the log fire, our hosts even provide the logs. The setting is very rural and we did lots of walking and cycling around the local picturesque villages. Would definitely return and highly recommend. John and Julie

Louise

Had a lovely week at Granary Loft with my dog Otis. The loft was really comfortable and welcoming, with everything we needed. We had use of the paddock to play ball and the patio area as well. We enjoyed plenty of walks in the area and found the maps with various routes for suggested walks really helpful. Helen and Peter were really welcoming too, always ready to help out and even provided delicious raspberries from their garden. It was a really relaxing break and we would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quiet break in the country. Thanks for a great stay!

The grannery loft is ideal for a relaxing holiday, set in a lovely location with lots of walks in the area and the Viking way on the doorstep. The loft itself is a clean and cosy with all the amenities you need. The owners Peter and Helen couldn't be more helpful providing maps and information of the area and even letting us use their adjoining field to let our dog Charlie have a run. Looking forward to returning.

An absolutely beautiful location and the loft was a beautiful place to stay ... An absolutely beautiful location and the loft was a beautiful place to stay in Peter and Helen the owners go above and beyond to ensure you have a wonderful break

Gillian

The Granary Loft is a wonderful place to stay, its very clen, tidy, and extremely comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need, and there is a wonderful large walk in shower. It also has it's own private outdoor area, and Helen & Peter are lovely hosts, there when you need them, but they also give you your privacy. It is situated in a lovely quiet area, with some wonderful walks right on the doorstep. We will be returning again in the future.

Robert

Very comfortable accommodation, exactly as advertised, friendly owners, very happy.

Lesley

I would very highly recommend Granary Loft to anyone travelling alone, as I was, or as a couple. The loft is up an outdoor staircase, and inside it is beautiful. Very light and airy, tastefully decorated and equipped with everything you could possibly need. The hairdryer was missing when I arrived, but I was supplied with a replacement within minutes, Helen and Peter are very welcoming and care that you enjoy your stay with them. Poppy my dog and I had a lovely time. Thank you, Helen and Peter.

We found Granary Loft exceedingly comfortable and it more than lived up to our expectations. The owners were very friendly, were always there if we needed anything but left us to enjoy our holiday undisturbed. There was a small problem with the shower which they got fixed immediately. Despite it being a studio appartment there was also a good outdoor seating area and bike storage which proved very useful. We would have no hesitation in recommending Granary Loft for two people seeking a base for enjoying the LincolnshireLeicestershire border area.

Exactly where we wanted to be with our planned walking day

The granary loft far exceeded our expectations from the moment we arrived at the wonderful setting of Peter and Helen's property. The loft was exemplary in its size and layout and the gorgeous, tasteful decor truly made it a home away from home. We couldn't recommend it highly enough and would gladly stay again. Peaceful and tranquil setting with a great private courtyard to enjoy the late afternoon and evening sun with logs blazing away in the fire pit after a days exploring and walking on the many beautiful routes easily accessible from the loft. A truly fabulous experience and 1010 all day long !!!!!

This place is a real haven. Just gorgeous.
