"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!
Vielen Dank, dass sie eine schöne bewertung hinterlassen haben. Wir freuen uns sehr, dass sie Ihren aufenthalt genossen haben!
Thank you for leaving a nice review. We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay!

"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.
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.

"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.
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.

"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.
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.

"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.
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.

"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.
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.

"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.

"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.
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!

"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...
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.

"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!

It is a classic Cotswolds cottage with great views over the valley opposite.

The property
Perched at the top of a hill in Amberley with far reaching views sits this beautiful semi-detached, traditional Cotswold stone cottage, Grange Cottage.
Presented in a modern country style, this stunning holiday home has everything you need to enjoy a relaxing break with your loved ones.
As you walk through the lane gate you will be greeted to a spectacular view beyond the traditional cottage garden to Woodchester Valley and its vineyards.
You can park directly outside to unload luggage through the front door which opens into the welcoming conservatory that is well placed to appreciate the all year round sunsets.
Parking for three cars on level gravel gated driveway is situated behind the house with steps down to the cottage back door.
A step leads into the characterful sitting room, a room perfect for relaxing with your group, sink into the sofas, watching the TV or reading a local book from the selection on offer whilst overlooking the valley from the window seat, all the while the warmth from the woodburning stove keeps you toasty.
For some peace and quiet, venture into the reading room that sits adjacent to the sitting room which has a small writing bureau, two chairs and a selection of games.
Proceed up the steps in the sitting room into the well-equipped kitchen/diner to cook up a delicious evening meal with help from the double electric range oven with gas hob, and gather with your guests at the wooden dining table to indulge in your feast and plan your itinerary for your wonderful trip.
Completing the ground floor is a useful utility, offering space for storage of coats and shoes as well as containing a washer/dryer and freezer, and a cloakroom with a basin and WC.
Upstairs, you will find three welcoming bedrooms; the master is a lovely eaves room with high ceilings and exposed oak beams, containing a king-size bed, the second bedroom enjoys a sunny aspect, with views across to the Woodchester Valley Vineyard, and contains a queen size bed and the third contains a day bed set up as a single bed with a window seat, perfect for watching the sun set, with the family bathroom resting on the same floor, containing a bath with shower over.
A further steep staircase leads you into the fourth bedroom in the eaves of the cottage with exposed beams and panoramic views over the Woodchester Valley Vineyard and beyond with a double bed, fitted wardrobes and a free-standing flatscreen TV.
The main garden area is at the front of the cottage, enclosed by Cotswold stone walls, and is mostly laid to lawn, with traditionally planted cottage garden borders and a variety of mature shrubs and trees and a patio area outside the conservatory, with an outdoor table set which provides spectacular views across the valley to Woodchester and benefits from glorious sunsets.
The cottage rests on the edge of the village of Amberley, which although small, has two well regarded pubs, Amberley Black Horse and The Amberley Inn as well as backing onto the National Trust common land of Minchinhampton Common, a unique 600-acre open space with far reaching views, which offers walking, kite flying and an 18-hole golf course.
The larger towns of Nailsworth and Stroud are close by, offering a vibrant selection of restaurants, shops and award-winning farmers' markets, as well as the beautiful Sladebank Woods in Stroud and Woodchester Mansion and Park in Nailsworth.
Close to the property, the spectacular Woodchester Valley Vineyard scales the slopes of the Cotswolds, creating Sauvignon Blanc, which has been awarded a master medal at the Global Sauvignon Blanc Masters Awards in London 2022, and, with the other tasteful varieties, is definitely a must for wine lovers.
Grange Cottage is an ideal base for outdoor activities such as walking and cycling, as well as for exploring the wider Cotswolds region and further afield places, such as Bath, where you can take a tour of the famous Roman Baths which are well-preserved, a temple constructed on the site between 60-70AD in the first few decades of Roman Britain – a very educational and interesting day out for all, where you can finish your day with a delicious meal at one of the many restaurants Bath has to offer.
Stay at Grange Cottage for a wonderful holiday.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.

Where you’ll be staying
MINCHINHAMPTON
Stroud 4.5 miles.
The ancient market town of Minchinhampton is located on a hilltop in beautiful Gloucestershire countryside, and offers a wide range of amenities including a weekly market, still held in the magnificent 17th century Market House. 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. They are also home to three 18 hole golf courses. Nearby, a visit to the historic Winstones Ice Cream Factory, the award-winning Farmer's Market in Stroud and the Fairtrade town of Nailsworth with its art galleries, individual shops and spring music and art festivals, are a must. The waterfront city of Gloucester, with its Victorian docklands, is close by and the town of Cirencester, 'Gateway to the Cotswolds' offers ancient buildings and museums. The beautiful spa town of Cheltenham is an easy drive away, offering Georgian architecture and many festivals including the Gold Cup horse race. A great holiday destination all year round.
Note: The door to the second-floor bedroom is at the bottom of the stairs and it is not possible to put a stair gate at the top of the stairs, so this room may not be suitable for young children.
Note: An initial basket of logs for the woodburning stove is provided between October and March; guests must purchase their own outside of these months.
Note: The family bathroom contains a bath with a shower over which is approximately 5'8" upright standing / head room is therefore restricted for showering but it is possible for taller people to stoop or bend.
Note: Guests should be aware that the lane up to the property is quite steep - it's what makes the view so amazing! There is level parking on a gated driveway at the top or in a small layby. If nervous of driving steep country lanes, cars can be parked at the bottom, a short walk up to the property. On the rare occasion that snow is forecast, it is suggested that guests park cars on the lower or upper lanes, away from the steep hill. Note: Candles are not permitted at the property, due to the fire hazard they present.
Note: Sorry, long term stays over 28 days are not permitted at this property.
