The Granary Petite Hotel

-

TRIPADVISO­R NO. 6 OF 7 B&BS/INNS

Not a hotel in the traditiona­l sense, The Granary comprises six rustic rooms attached to the Chicory Cheese Café, which is the ‘reception’ for guests). It’s a great choice for those who prefer the privacy that comes with being left to your own devices but aren’t into self-catering; aside from the hearty breakfasts served up at the Cheese Café (or Marmalade Cat on Sundays) and the takeaway dinners sold at the cafe (closes at 4pm weekdays and 1pm on Saturdays), you’re also in the heart of the village, walking distance to several eateries and next door to the town’s fabulous new restaurant (see Don’t Miss This, page 43). The Granary has historic charm with the main building dating back to the early 1900s. The transforma­tion into a hotel is still a work in progress by busy new owners JP and Carien de Beer, who manage a nearby farm as well as the café and hotel.

ROOM TIP Book Room 3 – an upstairs corner room accessed from the balcony, with a treed view through the large sash window. It’s one of two family rooms, with a double bed and twin beds (in an antechambe­r adjacent to the bathroom), but it’s good for a couple too. There is also a more private garden room.

COST From R500 pp sharing B&B. Family rooms from R700 pp sharing (sleep four). CONTACT 079-916-5267, thegranary.co.za
