Great property
We had a long weekend with friends at the property, which is exactly as it looks in the photos. Nice rooms, big kitchen and a large living space with really cool decor. Lots of lovely walks nearby and a local town within 10 minutes drive so easy to get to.
Highly recomend.

Great house to stay, plenty of room
Great property, really welcoming and a really interesting collection of items around the house… the different designs of lamps were great ideas. Had everything we needed and more, comfortable surroundings, and a relaxing few days stay for us.

Stylish country cottage for family together
Our family stayed here for the summer solstice at Stonehenge and visiting nearby Avebury, Bath, Salisbury and Glastonbury and found it a special retreat for family bonding. We were able to cook up some lovely meals while watching the rest of the family play and relax in the garden. We enjoyed movie nights in the living room in front of the non-heating fireplace. There were enough rooms to spread out. We especially enjoyed the garden and how well maintained the lawn was so we could do family yoga and play games in the fresh air. Ella the host was super responsive and had soap and supplies overnighted as soon as we reported some were running low. She was also very open to feedback that some cleaning supplies and pantry items were outdated and needed to be replaced, etc. Although the property is decorated in a glam style it also has a lived in vibe so you feel you are visiting a friends cozy home. This is definitely a unique and special property!

Lovely property with some problems.
First impressions were good. Property is is a nice location and we loved the quirky decor. However, we struggled to warm the main living area and spent the trip huddled under blankets and occasionally in coats. The upstairs rooms were roasting hot, as was the downstairs bedroom and the provided heater warmed the second living area/bedroom sufficiently if put on a short while before we went to bed. The Aga was, I was told, switched on prior to our arrival but it never managed a temperature above vaguely warm, meaning we struggled to cook our Christmas lunch with the single oven and probably contributed to the heating problems in the main living area. Generally clean, but one bathroom’s toilet hadn’t been cleaned properly and there were a number of minor things which could have been cleaner. Overall we enjoyed our family Christmas trip but the heating issues did take the shine off.

Impressive
What a fabulous stay! Family birthday celebration with ages 19-76 year old and all impressed with the accommodation. Quirky and eclectic mix that just works. The house has everything you could need for an over night stay to a long stay... and more!
Enough room for all to come together or have your own space. COmmunication with Elly was 1st class with quick responses. We all felt at home and didn't want to leave!
Highly recommended

Just what we wanted
We were in Wiltshire visiting family and touring round villages with a view to relocating. We really couldn’t have chosen a better base. The Granary was spacious, great for entertaining, quirky, lovely internal decoration (we enjoyed the guitars). Family came round with two small children who scampered around the colourful and well stocked garden. The property is conveniently located for Calne and wider Wiltshire. One thing that particularly impressed us was that it was very well stocked - bread, butter and jams on arrive, tea, coffee and sugar and much much more. Will definitely return with our rescue dog Jack. Thanks for the fantastic experience!
