Welcome to The Granary

We are proud to announce we have again received a Gold award (2011/12) for the third year running for exceptional quality of accommodation and customer service.

Chris and Diane offer you a warm welcome at The Granary. If you have any further questions or wish to discuss availability, contact us on 01228 576205.

Our 1 bedroom, 4 star, self catering accommodation sleeps 2 people and has been lovingly and tastefully converted from the old granary loft adjoining our own home, The Old Mill, which is in the village of Thurstonfield, just 5 miles west of Carlisle.

The Mill was built circa 1774 and was a working water powered corn mill until the early 1900’s.

Our home has a delightful, large rear garden for you to enjoy (almost an acre).

From your holiday cottage you’ll go down the steps to a sand stone patio/BBQ area leading to the lawn and over to a small woodland area with large mature trees and Powburgh Beck (the original mill stream) running through the garden.

The garden is home to all sorts of wildlife and birds. We have lots of woodpeckers, sometimes common buzzards pay a visit to the tall trees and swans and Solway geese frequently fly over.

Rabbits are always a welcome sight if they stay away from my kitchen garden! If you’re really lucky you’ll see the red squirrels that call from time to time.
