A very pleasant place to stay in a lovely town. Anywhere with a sourdough bakery, a micro brewery and a castle is going to be high up on the list of places to visit. The olde granary has lots of room, good equipment, is very modern and the beam in the bedroom was not a problem. Wifi was sometimes difficult to get but having an OS map of the area and leaflets about local walks more than made up for that. It was very thoughtfully set up for visitors.
Very clean, practical, full of character and charm. Fantastic views in a lovely location . Owners were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed are stay very much
The Granary has been well restored and provides a great base to explore this area of Suffolk. The property is light and airy with lovely views over the fields.
A perfectly proportioned country cottage hideaway. Spotlessly clean, comfortable, fully fitted. Great photos give accurate representation and easy to find. We had a wonderful stay!
The Olde Granary is a delightful character cottage with lovely views over the countryside. Beautifully presented with everything you could need Roger and Anna great hosts and we will certainly return in the future
The property is perfect for two people and actually feels bigger than it looks in the photos. Also has a lovely garden. Owners are very friendly and helpful and are on hand if needed.
Would definitely stay here again.
Just exactly what was advertised. Lovely cottage, very well appointed, very nice treats on arrival. Quiet, lovely part of the country, with Clare very close by. We were completely happy with this property and owners! Many thanks!
This is our second time visiting Roger and Anna’s property and I’m sure it won’t be our last. It’s small but perfectly formed and we love the location.

Thanks guys for the lovely review, it's been a pleasure to meet you and you have been perfect guests. Wishing you a safe journey back to Vancouver Island xx
Beautifully presented, perfect for a couple. Lovely hosts, whom we met on the last night. Will definitely recommend to others and hope to return ourselves for a longer stay...lots to see in the area but we ran out of time.
Perfect cottage for those wanting peace and quiet in the Suffolk countryside. Comfortable, warm and spotlessly clean. Lovely, friendly hosts. Would highly recommend.
Had a great time staying at The olde Granary in Clare. It's a wonderful location just a 30min walk into the town to the local pubs and tea rooms. No more than 30/40m=ins from all the major sights. Hosts Roger and Anna went the extra mile and some to make our stay the best it could have been, Thank you so much.
Lovely, comfy and surprisingly spacious in a rural location
A well equipped and comfortable property. The property is light and airy and has a lovely outlook over fields. Roger and Anna are friendly and helpful.
We stayed in Clare for a week and absolutely loved this place, as well as the surrounding area. The Old Granary is spacious, immaculately clean and quiet. It’s location was perfect for us with lots of walking, pubs, charming old buildings and within easy driving distance of other unique places. Anna and Roger were welcoming, helpful and fun. It’s a really well appointed cottage, and the sun room is perfect for relaxing in. We will definitely be returning!
We were staying at the Olde Granary whilst meeting with family to arrange a funeral. It was lovely to have such a peaceful place to go back to each evening.It was beautifully clean, easy access, facilities provided everything we needed. Dennis and Anna were fine hosts, easily accessible and visited us on the last morning. We would have returned in a couple of weeks but they were already booked. We look forward to another visit soon.
Really enjoyed our time at the granary conversion, it is a very quant building with beautiful views. It was warm, very clean and had everything you needed. I think the only drawback was climbing the beam and stairs to go to the loo at night!
The Granary was very well equipped. Clean,tidy and comfortable, The view across the fields from the patio was beautiful and the full moon breathtaking. The beam in the bedroom was not a problem for us and made it a quirky place to stay. The ideal location to explore Suffolk. Roger and Anna came to say Hello, super friendly people.

Lovely converted old granary near charming village of Clare. Great spot. Comfy and cosy.
We enjoyed staying at the olde granary since we were based there, near Clare, and enjoyed travelling all over Essex. Comfortable and ideal for a couple looking for a quiet time off the noisy big cities. Well equipped and with all you need at hand. Very nicely hosted by Roger and Anna, who are willing to assist and help with everything. Lovely scones and cream and home made jam.. Brilliant place despite the very hot weather we had. I highly recommend it to relax or travel by car nearby.
