Guests say

Granary Cottage is highly praised for its well-equipped facilities, cleanliness, and comfort, making it an excellent family stay. The property boasts a large garden with playthings, and its location is convenient for visiting local attractions like Longleat and Bath. Some guests experienced parking difficulties and garden cleanliness issues, but these were minor compared to the overall positive experience.

The property is consistently described as spotless and clean, with only a couple of mentions of garden cleanliness due to animal mess, which seems to be an isolated issue.

The location is appreciated for its proximity to local sights and amenities, with easy access to Bath, Longleat, and other attractions, although parking has been a concern for some guests.

Guests find the beds and sofas extremely comfortable, and the property is well-received for its spaciousness and cosy atmosphere.

The cottage is well-equipped for families, with toys, games, and a well-stocked kitchen. However, some guests suggested improvements such as a larger freezer and shower area.

While the reviews frequently mention the thoughtfulness of the facilities and amenities provided, there is no specific mention of gifts, so it is not possible to score this category.

About this property

Resting just outside the centre of the market town of Warminster, Granary Cottage is an end-of-terrace dwelling offering a fantastic base for a Wiltshire adventure. Discover a wealth of attractions in every direction, including Longleat Safari, Stonehenge, Salisbury Cathedral and the Cranborne Chase AONB, with Granary Cottage offering a homely setting to return to each day. Be welcomed into the spacious sitting room after a fun-filled day, with a log burner set in an original stone fireplace, where you can relax on the sofas before the TV or take out the hockey/football table from the games cupboard and challenge a friend or family member to a game! Step into the open-plan kitchen/diner when you want to prepare some family meals, a well-equipped kitchen offers an electric oven and hob, microwave and fridge, while the dining room enjoys a up to eight-seater adding plenty of character to this lovingly restored property. A useful utility room is home to a washing machine, while a cloakroom can be found here too. If you are looking to get the most from you holiday or short break and want to have your last workday before enjoying a break at Granary Cottage, there is a folding chair, folding desk and PC monitor in the game’s cupboard, the high speed Wifi will help too. Head upstairs to find the three bedrooms, including a king-size, a configurable twin or second king offering an array of choice for different groups and a bunk bed three sleeper (single above, double below). There is a downstairs small double sofa bed in addition in the lounge for even more flexibility! Spend a few moments relaxing in the bath in the family bathroom, a perfect place to reflect on another happy day, with a walk-in waterfall shower here too for those quicker morning showers. The garden has been beautifully transformed into a real haven, with a children's play area to keep the little ones entertained on a summer’s day, a laid lawn and two patios with seating to catch the sun throughout the day, where you can relax with a morning coffee, alfresco dining and evening drinks. A trip to this part of the UK wouldn't be complete without heading to the UK's first ever safari, Longleat Safari Park where you can see monkeys, lions, tigers and rhinos all from your car window, as well as exploring the grand Longleat House and trying to make it out of the Longleat Hedge Maze, it's a world of fun! Warminster is home to a host of history alongside its many amenities with great restaurants and pubs to visit, as well as Warminster Museum and the Warminster Lakeside Pleasure Grounds with an outdoor paddling area for children, popular in summer!

A day trip to Salisbury will prove a fascinating one, with Salisbury Cathedral home to the Magna Carta, a huge part of the UK's history, with tower tours offering staggering views across the landscape. In the other direction is the city of Bath, well-known for being a location used in many of Jane Austen's novels and now home to The Jane Austen Centre, dedicating a small museum to the life and times of the writer, take a tourist photo on Pulteney Bridge, explore No.1 Royal Crescent, a Georgian home and heritage museum on the very recognisable crescent, and experience Thermae Bath Spa. Also within reach are the Mendips, the southern Cotswolds, and the North Wessex Downs, making Granary Cottage a fabulous choice for a fun-filled stay in Warminster.

    Plates, cutlery, glasses, full kitchen! It has BBQ outside, fireplace inside, washing machine. Amazing! We were impressed by all facilities! Wow!

  • Matthew

    Loads of kids toys for our 3 and 6 year old, always helps to have those on holiday. Comfy beds, great upst safety gate and well stocked kitchen though a bigger freezer area would help. Everywhere super clean. No issue with parking a mid size SUV though can be tight getting out if someone parked opposite. Great base to explore, Salisbury, Bath, Stonehenge. The gardens in Warminster were also brilliant!We also did the east somerset railway as our kids aretrain mad and the national trust property at stourhead is stunning (for future guests with NT membership this gets you into free at Stonehenge even though it's English heritage.) We had an amazing trip.

  • Brenda

    It was ideal for us as we were visiting Longleat and it was just 10mins drive away from the property. The games, puzzles and toys were a nice thought for rainy days and Grandad & Grandson enjoyed the football table.
