Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
Quirky and charming. This is our second stay at The Granary and we would definitely come back.

"The Granary was a comfortable barn conversion with many interesting features."
The area was very peaceful and we enjoyed many walks with our dog straight from the door. The owner was very pleasant and was around if anything was needed. Thank you for the bottle of wine and biscuits. Oxborough Hall National Trust was worth a visit and there were good local shops.

Fenced small garden all round the boundary which is good for dogs. Helpful owner (Christine) who has a number of very friendly dogs, mostly retrievers. We enjoyed the comings and goings in relation to the horses and found the staff to be very friendly. We really relaxed and enjoyed ourselves. Good parking.

"A really delightful Cottage amongst a small race horse yard."
It was great to watch the horses and mingle with the friendly family who gave us good advice for shady walks in the intense heat! One of our two dogs was a retired assistance dog.
However maybe people need to be aware that there are four large dogs who could be a little intimidating if you are not used to dogs. We had dogs so maybe they would react differently with a family without. Very friendly and love to rush up and say hello.

"The owner greeted us with a warm welcome giving us Prosecco, chocolates & milk."
It was fascinating to stay in a historic granary which had been modernised to a high standard. The cottage was comfortable, warm and very well equipped with a wood burner which was excellent. The enclosed garden at the edge of the paddock is ideal if bringing a dog and there are many walks nearby. It was delightful to see the race horses enjoying their exercise in the fields & the owner's dogs. Parking is good too next to the granary. The nearby village is attractive and has several shops and a pub where we had a meal. The location is good for visiting other parts of the county.

"I cannot speak highly enough of The Granary and its lovely owner."
The cottage was spotlessly clean on arrival with some kind welcome gifts. The kitchen facilities and equipment were probably the best I've encountered after many years of self-catering. It is superb accommodation for a friendly dog: a wrap-around enclosed garden and the company of the owner's dogs who always want to say hello. The village of Hingham has a charming pub with a good menu. Spent a wonderful week here and would recommend without reservation.

The property
This delightful detached, 18th century cottage is located on a horse racing training centre, just over a mile from the beautiful market town centre of Hingham in rural Norfolk.
With plenty to see and do in the area and with good road links to the Norfolk coastline, The Granary is an ideal base for a couple or a small family seeking an action-packed adventure.
With exposed beams throughout, the sitting room in this charming Hingham holiday home overlooks the paddocks and boasts a warming woodburning stove, so no matter what the weather is like, you will feel cosy and warm in this homely abode.
Also on the ground floor is a well-equipped, farmhouse style kitchen with dining area, making the perfect spot for any social occasion or a celebratory meal with your loved ones.
On the first floor are the two bedrooms comprised of a king-size and a twin, offering the ultimate layout for a family of four, served by the bathroom allowing you to begin your days with a relaxing soak before sitting out in the enclosed lawned garden, perfect for children and dogs to let off some steam, whilst you sit back and relax with a good book in hand.
There are also two fishing lakes available on the farm, approximately half a mile away, with free of charge fishing available for two people, making a great day out for a memorable experience with a loved one.
This Norfolk holiday home is located just over one mile from Hingham with its two village greens, shops, pub and Post Office, meaning you won't have to travel far for all of your local amenities.
Close by are the towns of Wymondham and Watton, offering their own unique experiences and plenty of eateries to choose from if you're seeking a restaurant to celebrate a special occasion, whilst the city of Norwich, has something for everyone, with its wide range of attractions including but not limited to the Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery, its beautiful 11th century cathedral, the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts and much more!
Follow the two imposing gates of St. Ethelbert’s and Erpingham leading you to the Tombland area, which was once home to a Saxon marketplace, or indulge in your own shopping experience in the city's amazing shopping centre.
The Granary makes a beautiful base for exploring all of the excitement that Norfolk has to offer.
Quietly nestling amidst the stunning Norfolk countryside, the ancient town of Hingham boasts two village greens, a pub serving good food, and a number of independent amenities including a variety of shops, along with an array of Georgian architecture not to be missed. Previously the home of Samuel Lincoln, whose direct descendant was Abraham Lincoln, this quaint town is home to a 14th century church where you can view a bust of the former President himself. The historical town of Wymondham, with its ancient abbey and original stone cross and nearby Watton both offer great shopping and a weekly market, whilst nearby Norwich is rich in culture, history and the arts. There’s plenty of great walking, cycling and wildlife watching opportunities in the surrounding area and combined with great fishing, several easily accessible golf courses and both motor racing at Snetterton and horse racing at Fakenham, this fabulous location has plenty to offer at any time of year.
