The cottage can sleep 7 people over 3 rooms as follows: Bedroom 1 (en-suite) - air conditioned. - King bed - Sofa bed for you to easily make-up. We do NOT make it up for you as not everyone wants to use it and you make want to use it as a sofa during the day but there is made-up single bedding in the blue cupboard in the en-suite bedroom ready to use. Bedroom 2 - air conditioned. - Double bed - Single bed Lounge - large L shaped sofa (made-up single bedding in the blue cupboard on the en-suite bedroom) Dogs are very welcome (there is one dog bed) for well behaved furry friends (we do have friendly show spaniels ourselves) and we even have 2 dedicated fantastic, private (award winning) dog play fields on site you can book at a special rate. So grab a coffee from the kitchen (or glass of wine!) and go and sit and watch your doggo have stacks of fun with some amazing views of BoA in a wonderful green belt setting. They are ideal before you set off on your journey home or when you arrive. Your dog will thank you for it. We don't recommend you stray from your area and walk the grounds with dogs as there are other guests and dogs on site,including ours and there are plenty of local walks. Feel free to use the fire pit in the vegetable plot. There are extra pillows and blankets to snuggle up with in front of a great DVD and a real fire - but the cottage is warmly centrally heated - temperature is controlled by you. Granby Cottage is very private and set within 12 acres of green belt which we own. The cottage has plenty of off-street, private parking but it's not a hotel - and there are no staff dedicated to you on site. It’s very much set up for you to easily enjoy. Do email me if I can help with anything. Guest access Easy and free private parking for four cars (off-road). Granby House is entirely separate to the cottage. Care with furry friends as we keep ducks and chickens (enclosed) and there are horses and sheep in fields nearby and our dogs all of which should be admired but avoided and you should not feed. Your dog can still roam freely attended by you in your section of a large garden. But it’s a shared space so no good if you own the hound of the Baskervilles! We do have dog playing fields set in the most amazing countryside with Crufts approved tunnels and toys (and seating) which you can use which are VERY popular (so book early) which we will send details about when you book as you must have a booking to use them. Gravel, minimal exterior lighting and steps mean it is not ideal for those with limited walking abilities. If you walk the grounds, please do so at your own risk and take care, especially if weather has been poor. We know people like to look around the estate and our cutting garden which is fine, BUT please DO NOT take your dogs to the area were the dog fields are unless you have a booking as nervous dogs and owners use the fields. Car charger can be booked with notice for cars £20 paid beforehand. We own dogs ourselves so please email or text in the first instance rather than approaching our house Other things to note Useful to note: - please remember: if you book a non-cancellable rate, then we will not cancel or move it. - please turn off lights if you are out all day. We keep rates low and try to be as environmentally friendly as we can. - we provide towels (there are spare towels in the boiler cupboard) and bedding as well as complimentary shampoo, conditioner, coffee, tea and milk as well as a guidebook for relevant local information you may find helpful. - there is a Weber gas BBQ that can be booked for outside the cottage for your to use BUT please note: you are expected to clean it (everything provided) or else we will invoice you £15 as the cleaner will have to. - there is an EV charger you can use for £20 per charge by advance arrangement. - we have a cot so let us know if you need ahead of the stay. - The Granby team are continually around the grounds gardening but shouldn’t disturb you. - Please take care especially if you have a dog as there are chickens near the cottage (enclosed) but we have a fixed long tether near you patio if you want to use it. It is a shared space not a private garden such as feeding the chickens or working in the veg plot. And please do NOT leave them alone or take them for walks round the grounds as there are other guests and dogs - unless you have a booking and are on the way to one of our dog fields. - if you’re a bride and booking the night before you’re wedding and want to have makeup, flowers delivered, hair dresser, chauffeur etc they MUST be paid for as a guests even if they don’t spend the night and will NOT be allowed on to the estate otherwise. - please leave the cottage by 11am as that’s when the cleaners arrive - otherwise you will be charged an additional £20.
