  I stayed here for a few days and immediately wished I'd booked for longer.

  The cottage is beautiful. I loved the layout and the decoration was very welcoming to make one feel 'at home'. We had absolutely everything we needed within the cottage and it was easy to find. The welcome pack of information was very helpful - we went to the cafe recommended for breakfast with the best coffee and weren't disappointed! They also advertised the local Indian restaurant which we were so pleased with. One staff member in particular took a shine to our baby girl which made the experience so lovely with fantastic customer service throughout and gorgeous food. The cottage is in a great location with just a short walk down hill to the beach and pool type area. We loved that it was more quiet where we were with the option to walk a little bit further to the busier area of the beach. Ventnor is a great place to stay - we thoroughly enjoyed exploring and will be back again so explore more and hope the cottage is available for us to stay in when we do! Suzanne the owner, was very easy to get in touch with and was so helpful letting us know an event going on and the parking situation. Thank you so much for a lovely and regrettably short stay in your lovely cottage. We felt so welcome and relaxed and enjoyed the garden area in the sun, it was so peaceful. Added bonus of having netflix and prime available for settling down in the evening with a glass of wine! Thank you again for a wonderful experience

  I cannot recommend this property strongly enough.

  It is very central in Ventnor with supermarkets. chemists and pubs literally. 2 minutes’ walk away. 5 more minutes takes you along Pier street to the breathtaking spectacle overlooking Ventnor Bay and the unbroken horizon of the Channel . I visited in early January and the property couldn’t have been cosier. The gas central heating was quick and efficient, It is controlled with a portable device so you can start it off in the morning from your bed. Very handy! There’s also a very efficient electric log effect fire in the lounge. To the rear there is access to a charming area of decking with nice views of the Church and Ventnor’s subtropical palms . In January it felt a little like Madeira! Out of season there’s loads of free parking 5 minutes away on Park Avenue. I also commend the owner whom i contacted when I managed to confuse the heating controller. She was very patient with me and tried to solve it for me but then asked a handyman to pay a visit. He was there in minutes and was polite and helpful and didn’t point out it was all my fault! So if you want a central well-equipped home in Ventnor, 1 Tulse Hill is the place to be! Fantastic! I forgot to mention the great wi-fi, comfy beds, en-suite bathroom, quiet neighbours and two loos!

  We had a very nice stay at The Granary, in a beautiful peaceful location.

  The house was very well furnished with good facilities and a kitchen well provided with cutlery, utensils, china etc., well up to 5* standard. The lighting in the kitchen was ceiling lights which cast ones shadow on the work surfaces, with no alternative lighting to give good vision. The same was true in the en suite with bath, where the sloping ceiling gave restricted headspace when getting in/out of the bath. We had not appreciated that the outside seating area could only be accessed from outside, making al fresco dining slightly awkward. Maybe it was mentioned and we missed it. Recycling and waste disposal instructions were confusing, with 2 separate sets of instructions that were quite different! We decided to use the coloured plastic bags left in the property, but noticed that none of the neighbours did the same. And the previous occupants had ignored any instructions to separate categories of recycling, which the dustmen seemed to accept!! These are not overly serious complaints, but since we had the impression that this was a recent conversion for renting out, the comments might help the owners to make The Granary even better than it already is. They are to be congratulated on a fine conversion of the building.

  We had a great stay here and would thoroughly recommend to others.

  Great location for getting out and about in the Cotswolds. Beautifully done, and very clean. Kitchen is kitted out with absolutely everything that might be needed. Really comfortable beds, and great to have two separate bathrooms if staying here with others - both shower and bath. Usefully has in built stair gate which no doubt would be helpful for those with kids, and for us as we had our dog with us. Great to have an enclosed space outside for those with dogs like us, and lovely walks straight from the doorstep. Pub down the road looks lovely for a really nice meal (sadly we couldn't try as there was a wedding). Only slight negative thing would be around getting access via the keypads, which I know from other feedback, others have raised difficulty with. May be helpful if instructions could make it clear it is necessary to put your palm or several fingers across the pad to activate the pad, and pointing with one finger doesn't work. And that the pin is just for the bottom door, and does not give access to the upstairs door.

  We stayed at The Granary for five weeks when we just arrived into the UK.

  The Granary is such a beautiful cottage. The furnishings, interior design and finishing touches are very luxurious and of an exceptionally high standard. The views from the kitchen windows and living room windows upstairs are so beautiful. Set in a quiet location in Nether Westcote, but so close to Stow-On-The-Wold and Bourton-On-The-Water and not far from major shops at Witney, makes this cottage the perfect location for convenience. Also it is so wonderful to explore the local town of Burford. The kitchen has everything you could ever want, with the highest standard of equipment and utensils. We truly loved our stay at The Granary and will look forward to our next visit. The owners were so wonderful and provided us with the most amazing welcome basket, which was greatly appreciated. If we could rate higher than a 10 out of 10 we would. Anyone who choses to stay at The Granary will be very happy with their choice.
