Each of our cottages has a terrace equipped with a gas barbecue and plenty of seating – perfect for breakfast on a sunny morning, dinner al fresco or sundowners after a hard day’s exploring.

A selection of beach toys, including boogie boards, wind breaks, fishing nets, crabbing nets, bucket and spades and boogie boards.

Children love playing hide and seek and climbing among the trees. There are blackberries to pick in late summer, sloes in the autumn and plenty of wildlife to spot – owls, squirrels, foxes, deer & pheasants.

We have a dedicated play area for children featuring swings, a climbing wall and a slide. It is located just off the main garden, whilst partially hidden behind the hedge through a wooden gate. This is where your little ones can be a pirate or princess on the Monkey Puzzle play equipment. It is near to both Cider and Top Barn and overlooks the fields.

Well behaved dogs are welcome to stay in Cider Barn at Lower Grimpstonleigh

Sleeps Twelve+ is a good size !

We have three barns available for the summer and two barns all year round – so whatever the occasion its good to be together !

Each barn has one King bedroom and one twin with Cider Barn and Apple Cottage you can zip these up into a King if you need to.

You will have exclusive use of the pool and grounds – with two large BBQ’s situated by the Gazebos in the gardens within sight of the play area and thirteen acres of gardens, stream, woodland and orchards to explore. Plenty of parking for cars and boats.

All of our local takeaways deliver to the barns and all the major grocery outlets deliver – we are happy to put this away for you prior to your arrival. Welcome Hamper in each barn on arrival to make sure you have a cuppa or glass of something chilled before you unpack !
