These rentals are NOT hotels so there are no staff dedicated to you to meet and greet; we have dogs you might see and we are dog friendly. You may see gardeners etc around the estate and the bedding is duck feather and down and only guests who have booked to stay, have access to the property; non-refundable rates are just that and can’t be moved. If any of that is an issue for you, please do NOT book. If however you are looking for a fabulous country retreat, which borders the heritage city of Bath AND boasts access to great shops then you have found it! You will feel like you are in the country BUT just 1 min drive to the nearest supermarket (Sainsbury’s) and a beautiful town - and only 12 mins on the train direct to the centre of historic Bath. Granby Cottage is a spacious, 2 bed bungalow within the grounds of a country house set within 12 acres of gorgeous green belt. There are TWO bedrooms (one with a king and a single sofa bed, one with a double and single bed, and the lounge has a large sofa for a 7th person if for short stay). Bedding for a 6th and 7th person is made up in the blue cupboard cupboard in the en-suite bedroom. Dog friendly, you are welcome to enjoy an enclosed garden (there are chickens so no good for high prey drive dogs) OR book one of our 2 fantastic (award winning) dog playfields which are on site. We have cutting gardens you are very welcome to look at (no dogs allowed there). Sit on your own patio - or by the fire pit. If you plan to use the BBQ or need baby equipment, please request in advance so we can make sure available. Our holiday rentals have been really successful and always booked (we're currently building a third) so hopefully, we have thought of everything you might need from building a real fire, to checking the wi-fi is switched on! They are self-contained and quite separate (were are in 12 acres) and are set-up to run independently of us - but we are on site most of the time should you need us in an emergency.

I’m married to James and we have three children and moved here to Wiltshire in the summer of 2019 from Berkshire. I love the peace and quiet that Bradford On Avon offers (no planes!) and whilst it feels like you are in the country, it’s great to be so close to the town and the city of Bath which is gorgeous. Love Frome for the independent shops and markets too. I adore dogs and have a passion for show type cocker spaniels. I assess and sometimes short term foster spaniels for Spaniel Aid UK and I have Kennel Club accreditation as well as a 5 Star Animal Welfare Licence from Wiltshire Council. We privately hire our enclosed (award winning) dog fields in our grounds to local dog walkers and trainers - you can book them separately and use them when you're here. I’m also very fond of chickens as you will see and have a flock of around 25 mixed rescues and pure breeds. I love gardening (you have to on this estate!) and you are welcome to look around our cutting gardens if you're a keen gardener. The vast, vast, majority of our guests are wonderful (you can read the negative reviews of the ones who haven’t been!) because they have read the listing and booked accordingly. I never understand reviews when they admit to not having read a key piece of info, or made an assumption, and therefore don't have the stay they hoped for and reflect that In a review. So do us all a favour: please read everything or ask if unsure - but do not book if you think it won't meet your needs as you won't enjoy your stay - and neither will we. The Granby team look forward to welcoming you.

Bradford on Avon is a stunning historic town with lots of independent restaurants and coffee shops. Granby Cottage is conveniently situated just 1 mile away from the town centre (less than 5 minutes drive to the town), and only 0.5 miles to the local Sainsburys which you will find very handy. The local train station is just a 12 minute train journey to the centre of Bath and there are two dog friendly pubs either side of us which are a 12 minute walk away. Whilst you will not be bothered by traffic, light pollution or planes, we keep within the grounds free range rescued ducks and a flock of hens. You are in the country so you will hear and see birds etc.
