Beautiful Property

4 of us stayed at Granby Cottage over the weekend. The location and setting was beautiful, the cottage was inviting, warm and cosy. If we required help the Host would have been easily available, however everything was in place.. We thoroughly recommend staying there.

Chic and relaxing stay in the countryside!

We really enjoyed our stay at Granby cottage. The grounds were beautiful and it was lovely exploring the gardens. Location was very convenient and hosts super nice. The cottage did not have a washer and dry so my only recommendation would be to plan clothing accordingly.

80th birthday celebration

Our stay at the cottage was perfect for celebrating an 80th birthday - the cottage was spacious enough to accomodate some extra guests for a night or two, and also perfect when it was just the two of us. A wonderful quiet location just outside Bradford on Avon, and lots to do within easy reach.

All around great!

From top to bottom, just all around a super place to stay. Well-managed and up-to-date, Amanda was a wonderful host -- accessible and friendly, welcoming and gracious. Very spacious cottage (the galley kitchen gets a little tight, but manageable), very comfortable. The location is exceptional, quiet and somewhat removed, yet easy access to Bradford-0n-Avon and especially Bath. Easily one of the best places we've stayed!!

Catch up with the girls

Absolutely beautifully appointed property, gorgeous decor and the comfiest beds in the south! The gardens were a stunning backdrop for a catch up over dinner and wine with old friends. The sitting room was especially cosy with a comfy sofa and open fire. Easy to find but hard to leave, I'm sure we'll be back! Thank you Amanda, we loved your property!

Thoroughly loved it.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the cottage to the point we wished we could have stayed longer. Enjoyed the outdoors environment as well as the peace and quite provided by the area. The cottage was spacious for our family of five and enjoyed all the comforts of home. We will definitely consider the cottage again on our next trip to the UK.

An amazing property for a special stay.

We had a lovely time staying at Granby Cottage for my Mum’s 70th birthday. We surprised her with an overnight stay after a birthday meal nearby and she was very wowed! The property was perfect for a family stay, lots of space and a really cosy front room, which was great for eating together, games and relaxing. The kitchen was well equipped too and they left some handy essentials for us which was much appreciated. The only thing we found was the main bedroom was quite cold, we put the heating up for the duration but that far part of the house seemed to stay pretty cool and there was a bit of a bite to the air when we went to bed. Luckily the bed was very comfy and cosy. We also had a little bit of a delay getting the instructions to check in but once we did it was straight forward. Amanda was generally good at trying to accommodate our needs.

Charming cottage in a great location

Grandby Cottage was charming, the main house magnificant and the grounds were beautiful. The wisteria was in full bloom. I felt like I was taken back in time, expecting a carriage to pull up at any moment.Amanda is a great host and answered all our questions. Our itinerary the day after we arrived was:Day 1 -- Bath. We did the free walking tour (fantastic) and toured the Roman baths.Day 2 -- Stonehenge (We walked instead of taking the bus, which was so much better.) Avebury (one pub in town) and Castle Combe (dinner)Day 3 -- Glastonbury and Wells. I highly recommend going to the evensong at the Wells cathedral. A Sainsbury's was just down the road from the cottage, which was great. Bath wasn't a quick drive -- or maybe we just got twisted around a lot -- so we didn't buzz in for dinner after a day out as we thought we would.But we found plenty of restaurants wherever we went, including Bradford on Avon.

Excellent, would highly recommend

Such a beautifully appointed cottage in the grounds of an amazing country manor.So close to Bradford on Avon, literally 3 minutes to the local pub by car, we timed it! About 20 minutes to Bath, traffic pending. Cottage is spacious and homely too. Decorated with taste; high end furniture, bedding, crockery etc. Lots of doggy goodies available too which was nice.Whilst our stay was excellent and we would love to return and recommend, we did have a few issues with the tv on the first day. Managed to get Prime on the 2nd day so that was ok. When we returned after dark it was a dark walk through the gate/door to the front door. Perhaps a low level solar light might help.Neither point had a detrimental impact on our stay. Oh, fresh bread, butter and milk was much appreciated.

I am married to James and we moved to Wiltshire from Berkshire to Granby House in 2019. The main house is an historic one made of beautiful bath stone and designed by a master quarry mason.

Granby Cottage along with our 2 other rentals, is situated within the our beautiful grounds and we enjoy sharing our space and welcoming guests.
