“Unser Aufenthalt in Grange Cottage war wunderschön!”

Das Haus ist wie in der Beschreibung und mit allem ausgestattet, was man benötigt. Die Anfahrt zum Haus ist sehr steil, auch die Decken sind sehr niedrig - daran muss man sich gewöhnen. Der Garten ist sehr schön und die Aussicht vom Cottage einfach wunderbar! Es gibt viele Pubs in der Nähe, die man zu Fuß erreichen kann. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen!

“The only issue which was not as clearly highlighted as we would have liked was the extremely steep vehicular access to the cottage.”

I think the listing did state this, but we were not quite prepared for it to be inaccessible in our average family car (the engine might have coped, but the spoiler/bumpers would very likely have been scratched or damaged). It was fine for us as we were fit enough to walk either from the roadside parking option above the property, or the one below - both a 10 minute steep walk. An elderly or infirm person would probably be unable to manage. The view was well worth it for us, and the cottage a delightful sanctuary.

- Susan, July 2024

We're so glad the view was worth it when you got to the top! The Cotswold hills and valleys do have steep lanes in parts, it's the nature of the area and in the description. It can be a shock when you meet the steep hill for the first time especially if not used to hills. It is perfectly accessible for cars, supermarket deliveries etc. Property Owner

“We had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed Grange Cottage, hiowever we feel it could be more accurately described particularly the location which for some people might be challenging.”

For us it was perfect. Also think the shower needs some attention to stop the head falling off and damaging the bath which has obviously happened several times already. Thanks for letting us stay and we will recommend you to others.

- Mark, July 2024

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your recent stay at Grange Cottage. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay with us and thank you for letting us know about the shower head, we willadvise the Owner so she can get this looked at prior to future stays. We would love to welcome you again for another stay in the Cotswolds soon. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner
Ross September 2023

“Great place.”

Really appreciated the welcome parcel and the cleanliness of the property. Great facilities which really allowed us to prepare a meal on the first night. More to be made of the nearest pubs as they were outstanding and maybe a few guides on what else can be seen locally would be a good addition. Liked the short history of the cottage to understand a bit more about the local area. On a separate note, there might be a Wasp Nest in the drain above the kitchen window that needs checking out.

- Ross, September 2023

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Grange Cottage. It's lovely to hear how much you enjoyed your stay at the property and we would love to welcome you back again in the future. Thank you for your comments about the possibly of a wasp nest, we will advise the Owner so they can look into this. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner
Thierry July 2023

“We are just back from one week at Grange Cottage (july 2023).”

We enjoyed the view and the cleanliness of the cottage. It is, however, a small cottage and we couldn’t figure out how we would have done if we had been more than 3 (to eat in the kitchen, for the bathroom). We didn’t expect the lane to be that steep but we made it. Make sure you have a good car (lane between 25-30% steep)! We would however not come along with babies, young children or elderly persons. Some nice details on the photos were not there upon arrival (cushions on a bed, flowers in some of the rooms, etc). The beds had been made very quickly and would have been uncomfortable to sleep in and we hade to make them again… Besides, 2 quilts are clearly too short for the bed sizes (in the blue room and in the secon-floor room). We had read that the beds were very comfortable. We don’t share that point of view as we all had it tough with hard mattresses and too big hard pillows (except for one in the second-floor room). The owner, Georgina, proved to be helpful and very friendly when we called her for some points that we had trouble with (heating and burners). So, basically, it is a nice little place with quiet neighbours and beautiful view and surroundings but it lacks the level of comfort we can expect.

- Thierry, July 2023

Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback. We are surprised to have received these comments given the positive reviews we have previously received. Grange Cottage has hosted families and mixed groups of six people for nearly eight years now and we're confident that the majority of our guests have a lovely, high-quality stay. We spoke twice about the operating instructions during your stay and the instructions were also in the property. No comfort issues were flagged at this time either. We won't respond to every detail raised, just sorry to hear Grange Cottage wasn't for you. Property Owner
Christine June 2023

“Overall a nice place to stay beautiful views the hill to it was very steep though.”

For the number of people you can accommodate I don’t think it’s right to expect people to sit up a table and use those small stools. Some of the bedrooms lacked mirrors or a chair which would have been useful.

- Christine, June 2023

So pleased that you appreciated the beautiful location of Grange Cottage. The amazing views towards rolling hills, vineyards and sunsets do mean you have to drive a steep Cotswold hill in first gear to access it. But it really is worth it. We've taken onboard your feedback about the 2 end seating stools in the kitchen - whilst the aim was to create more space in the area and provide stool seating for children part of family groups, we appreciate that all adult groups may find this slightly uncomfortable. We'll be adding 2 extra chairs to the 4 already in place next week. As for a mirror in every bedroom - there is only one bedroom out of four that doesn't have one, and this is set in the attic where there isn't a flat wall to position it on. The bathroom and landing have mirrors for people to use so we hope this is a reasonable compromise. Property Owner
Ratna April 2023

“The property is based on a steep road, which is also mentioned in the booking.”

My sons were able to park 2 middle sized and one big merc in the parking provided with no problem. Just getting in was a hassle, as the cras kept skidding coz of the gravel stones. The entrance from the conservatory is ideal for elderly people as there are no steep steps, like from the back entrance. All the beds are very comfy and linen was clean. One drawback, was the bathroom upstairs. There was only one, so we had to set our timings with the other members of the family. Also getting in the bathtub is difficult if you had problems with agility. There's a shower in the bathtub only. The downstairs toilet was an advantage though. Heating adjustment facilities were awesome, as you could boost the heating and water whenever the set timings ran out. It was very efficient and quick !! This was an added bonus to our stay here, as my parents feel cold all the time. The staircase was narrow with a spiral turn. Fortunately, there was a holding rope , which made it easier for my parents to hold onto. The conservatory serves as a beautiful viewpoint across the valley and mountains, and it was lovely to watch whilst having a cup of tea in the morning. overall, the cottage was extremely well kept and clean. the kitchen had all the necessary crockery, loads of it. Though we didn't cook we had our breakfast and tea. The space is huge and the gas cookers are a bonus. I enjoyed the best space in the garden, reading my book . The view is incredible in the well maintained garden. The cottage is very cozy and spacious. The extra games room helped my youngest son for his studying.

- Ratna, April 2023
Nigel March 2023

“Great cottage all as advertised.”

The quality of the linens and white fluffy towels was exceptional. 2 minor points that would have made our stay better would have been a handrail for the 3 stairs leading to the kitchen/dining area. This cottage sleeps 6 but the dining table only had 4 chairs and 2 low milking stools. Not really appropriate for this quality/price and for adults to sit on for meals.

- Nigel, March 2023

Thanks for your feedback and great to hear you had a good time. We pride ourselves on keeping the towels and linen to a high standard and have taken onboard your comments about the 2 stools in the kitchen and will replace with chairs shortly. Whilst fine for young families and for creating more space in the kitchen area, we appreciate they may not be great for long grown up lunches. Hope you come back soon to try out the new configuration! Property Owner
Sarah February 2023

“Loved this place!”

! Absolutely everything we dreamed of....perfect for a long weekend away with my mum and sis. A short stroll through the wood to the local village and pub. Snuggly warm and comfortable as anything inside the house. All we needed, plus more in the kitchen. Magic views from the conservatory, an ideal spot for my morning cuppa watching the birds feast and spotting local wildlife peeping through the hedge! One thing I will mention is the gradient of the laneway coming up to the house, it's perfectly driveable if you dare, (and walkable if you're fit and mobile) but not for the faint hearted...

- Sarah, February 2023

We agree the views are amazing - it's a truly special place! But of course to get a vista of Cotswold vineyards, valleys and stunning sunsets, you do need to climb the hill. Take it slow, in first gear, and there is level gated driveway parking at the top. As it's a no-through lane the peace and quiet adds to the rural charm - perfect if you're looking for a countryside getaway. We're delighted to hear you had a fab stay at Grange Cottage.

Katherine June 2022

“We had a wonderful time at Grange Cottage!”

Perfect for our family of five. Beautiful home in a spectacular area. Be aware that the ceilings/doorways are low in several places in the house. It still feels very open and light, but for someone over six feet, there were a lot of bumped heads.

- Katherine, June 2022

Thank you for the feedback. We're so pleased you enjoyed your stay and would love to welcome you back again. Best wishes, Character Cottages Property Owner
Linda April 2022

“We had a wonderful time in the cottage and it was worth waiting for over 2 years (due to COVID).”

The scenery is beautiful and the people are really friendly, the next village is within walking distance and the view from the cottage was amazing. We can’t wait to come back!

- Linda, April 2022
Melanie March 2022

“Grange Cottage is a fantastic place to stay.”

Beautifully furnished, comfortable beds, wonderful views, I was lucky to be there for the hot March weather, so unexpectedly got to enjoy the garden as well. It is a short 5 minute uphill walk through the woods to the common, so easy to leave the car at the cottage and walk your socks off.

- Melanie, March 2022

Thank you so much for providing us with your feedback. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Grange Cottage and would love to welcome you back any time in the future. Thank you again for providing us with your wonderful feedback. Property Owner

“Amazing cottage with stunning views.”

Lovely garden and conservatory where we ate most of our meals looking out over the valley. Great location close to Stroud and Nailsworth. Highly recommend this stay!

- Sophie, Apr 2021
Dan Aug 2020

“First of all it’s important to say how spotlessly clean the house was.”

Given the current situation regarding COVID-19, it’s easy to be apprehensive about staying away from home. I can say that this property has gone to extraordinary lengths to make sure everything is perfect for your stay. The information pack in the property made living in the cottage a doddle, we didn’t need to contact the property manager at all. The property itself has been restored to a very high spec and every room was well designed and decorated. The location is ideal as it is up a private track so there is no through traffic, but you can easily reach anywhere in the western Cotswolds and beyond. I wouldn’t think twice about booking to stay here again. The only things you need to keep in mind are:- • the stairs and steep, anyone with significant mobility issues wouldn’t find it a suitable property • we had a toddler with us, a stair gate is fitted at the top of the stairs but care should be taken at the bottom of the stairs (in the living room) to stop toddlers scrambling upstairs • I’m 6’3 and after 3 nights my lower back did start to ache a bit - many ceilings are very low! It’s part of the character of the property though and didn’t spoil my enjoyment of the cottage. Would highly recommend for families, romantic breaks, couples with one young child. The kitchen was large and well equipped for home cooking. 10/10!

- Dan, Aug 2020
Saba Jul 2020

Everything was immaculate, lovely cottage. I will definitely be booking again

Bridget Jul 2020

“The most beautiful view from the garden, looking out over the Cotswolds hills.”

We were blown away by it! Make the most of the BBQ facilities in the summer months. Such a lovely setting to sit out in the evenings.

- Bridget, Jul 2020
Penny Jul 2020

“A very comfortable cottage with stunning views across the valley and heaps of character.”

Comfortable beds, spotlessly clean and well equipped. At the end of a steep driveway, it's a very peaceful spot yet there are two pubs are just a few minutes walk away up through the wood. Lots of lovely walks in the area . We'd love to go back.

- Penny, Jul 2020
Laura Mar 2020

“A gorgeous cottage with lots of character and stunning views.”

We had a lovely cosy weekend with fires (make sure you pick up enough kindling from the local supermarket) and walks through the woods (wellies necessary!) to the pub, finished off with brunch in the well set up kitchen. Be prepared to climb a very steep hill if your car can’t make it up.

David Feb 2020

“Grange Cottage is very comfortable, warm and cosy.”

It is a classic Cotswolds cottage with great views over the valley opposite. The location, while up a very steep hill, was excellent - - a short walk through the wood to the fantastic Amberley Inn - - and no issue with access with our car. The log burner was a welcome addition on the cold evenings we spent there.

- David, Feb 2020
Sachin Feb 2020

“Thank you so much for a wonderful stay in your fabulous cottage.”

It was a beautiful warm, cosy and very clean property with views to die for! I cannot thank you enough for sending back our Chromecast so quickly after we left it behind in the property, it arrived in the post today. That is what I call a first class service! Funny thing was that we didn’t even need it as Netflix was already provided. I would like to highly recommend Character Cottages for anyone looking for a quiet and peaceful getaway.

- Sachin, Feb 2020
Caroline Jan 2020

“The cottage had everything you could ask for - 4 beautiful bedrooms with lovely clean bed linen and comfortable beds.”

Fantastic views and a cosy log fire with idyllic walks around the area. It was very quiet and peaceful and just what we needed as four mums trying to get some relaxation time away from hectic lives and young children. We couldn’t recommend it highly enough. Thank you!

“Lovely place to stay.”

Fantastic views. Cottage up a steep hill. Pleasant walks from the cottage. Low ceilings but that's to be expected when you consider when it was built.

Jill May 2019

“Immaculately clean, spacious but full of character, light and very tastefully decorated.”

High quality bedding and comfortable beds. Secluded location with far reaching views. Plenty of comfortable seating inside and out with very attractive patio area and garden. Although at the top of a very steep and hard to find lane plenty of parking once there. Easy access to get my disabled mother into the property. Plenty of hot water, very attractive, well equipped kitchen. Amazing views from 3 of the 4 bedrooms. Would definitely plan a return visit. Owner very helpful, with quick response to checking in query and very accommodating. Lovely property.

“We had a lovely time with our extended family.”

Thanks for the high chair cot and baby gate. The house was very clean and welcoming and the nearby town of Nailsworth had everything we needed. Supermarkets, takeaways and restaurants and was a very pleasant walk. The cottage is in easy reach of the usual Cotswold sights and attractions. We managed the extremely steep lane and equally steep stairs inside the house. We could not enjoy the garden and patio to the full as it was too cold and wet however the views in between showers were lovely.

- Christine, Mar 2018
Manon Mar 2018

“We, family of 5, stayed at the cottage for a long weekend and the accommodation exceeded our expectations!”

It’s a lovely and cosy cottage with lots of authentic touches. We received a lovely welcome and were pleasantly surprised by the delicious treats that were waiting for us upon check-in. The neighbourhood is lovely and the cottage has an amazing view. There are a few good restaurants in the neighbourhood, all in walking distance. We can definitely recommend this accommodation to others!

“Lovely cottage, perfect for our family.”

It snowed when we were there and this added to the experience, particularly for our two young children. The snow delayed our departure as we couldn't move our vehicle. The host, Georgina, is very understanding and accommodating.

The welcome note and complementary treats, fizz and milk was a very welcoming gesture. It really felt like home away from home. It was cosy and warm at all times and the log burner added to the relaxing atmosphere. The views from the Cottage is amazing.

This vibrant town boasts a range of individual shops, restaurants and cafes, making it perfect for an afternoon stroll in a beautiful setting. Nearby, Minchinhampton and Rodborough Commons, managed by the National Trust, cover over 500 acres and offer far-reaching 360 degree views, ideal for walkers and cyclists.

“Unser Aufenthalt in Grange Cottage war wunderschön!”

“The only issue which was not as clearly highlighted as we would have liked was the extremely steep vehicular access to the cottage.”

“We had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed Grange Cottage, hiowever we feel it could be more accurately described particularly the location which for some people might be challenging.”
