About this property

Granary at Hunt Court - sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

Originally, The Granary was a yellow-brick barn used to house grain. Today, it is beautifully renovated and restored holiday let at the centre of the owners' farm on the outskirts of Cheltenham, close to the village of Shurdington. To either side of the property is a wicker fence surrounding the private patio and courtyard.

The Granary is accessed via Sandy Pluck Lane, a half-mile long, country track, passing open land and neighbouring houses and farms. You will find yourself surrounded by farmland and open country with easy access to walks and beautiful scenery. Guests drive into an immaculately kept courtyard, with the owners' property to one side, The Granary ahead and its parking area to the right. Behind a tall wicker fence is a private garden with a patio, seating and BBQ.

Downstairs, The Granary has a fully equipped kitchen with a separate utility/cloakroom and a large dining-living room, featuring the original beams and fabulous wood burning stove, with a door leading out to the patio and garden. Upstairs are two bedrooms, one furnished with a king-size bed and the other with two 3ft single beds. The two bedrooms share a shower room with a large walk-in shower, toilet and wash basin.

The Granary is ideally located to explore the Central, South and North Cotswolds by car, with easy access to all the major routes and places of interest, including Cheltenham Racecourse (6 miles), Sudeley Castle/Winchcombe (12 miles), Cirencester (14 miles), Bourton-on-the-Water (19 miles), Bibury (20 miles), Stow-on-the-Wold (22 miles) and Burford (25 miles). If you prefer to arrive by train and explore the area on foot or by bike, Cheltenham Spa or Gloucester train stations are just 5 miles from the property. In addition, up to two large stables can be hired, giving guests the opportunity to bring their own horses and explore the beautiful Cotswolds on horseback.

Ground Floor

Hallway:
Step through the front door into the hallway, off which are the kitchen and utility room and the open-plan dining-living room.

Kitchen:
The fully equipped kitchen is a bright and light room with a sparkling work surface and limestone floor tiles. The kitchen is kitted out with an induction hob, electric oven, fridge, dishwasher, double sink and Freeview TV, as well as all the equipment and bakeware needed to prepare meals for everyone.

Utility Room/Cloakroom:
This handy room is a cloakroom, laundry room and kitchen support all in one, with a toilet, hand basin, washing machine, tumble dryer, microwave, freezer and iron and ironing board, plus hooks to hang up coats.

Dining Area-Living Room:
This delightfully cosy yet light and spacious double aspect room features exposed timbers and a fabulous fireplace with a large woodburning stove. At the entrance to the room is a big, square, re-cycled pine table that comfortably seats four guests. At the far end is the cosy sitting area furnished with two beautiful, velvet sofas, an extra-large Smart TV, an antique coffee table and occasional table and a bookcase with a selection of reading books to enjoy during your stay. A stable door leads out from the dining area to the patio and garden where there is a bistro-style table and chairs and BBQ (charcoal).
First Floor
Carpeted stairs with a bannister lead up from the entrance to the dining area to the two bedrooms and family shower room:

Bedroom One:
This lovely, spacious and bright, double bedroom overlooks the open countryside and farmland to the rear of the property. The bedroom is furnished with a king-size bed, bedside chests of drawers and reading lamps, a wall-mounted TV (Freeview), a full-length mirror and a triple, fitted wardrobe with hanging space and shelves. A pretty, antique table and two chairs provides a lovely place to sit and read or work.

Bedroom Two:
The pretty second bedroom is a good-sized twin room with three windows (one is part of an original granary door) looking out over the courtyard and distant countryside. The bedroom is furnished with two full-size single beds set at opposite ends of the room and at a right angle to provide some privacy for each guest if it's needed. Each bed has a bedside table or shelf and a reading lamp. The bedroom has a full-length mirror, fitted wardrobe and a wall-mounted TV (Freeview). (The stable door is kept locked but can be opened in an emergency to access The Granary's outside steps down to the courtyard.)

Family Shower Room:
Conveniently located between the two bedrooms, the family shower room features a double walk-in shower, a hand basin with a mirror above, a toilet and a tall vanity unit with a full-length mirror.
Outside

The Granary has a private patio with a table and chairs and a BBQ (please bring your own charcoal). The garden wraps around the sides and rear of the property, with a door opening to it from the dining area, providing a lovely spot to enjoy an al fresco drink or meal. The Granary is surrounded by open countryside and farmland on the edge of the Cotswolds AONB, with easy access to walks on the owners' land (directions will be provided by the owners) and to public footpaths.

To the side of The Granary is easy-to-access parking for two cars, while across the yard is a barn with a warm water outside hose that guests are encouraged to use to wash off muddy boots and dogs.

Calm, comfortable stay that exceeded expectations

My spouse, teenage son, and I enjoyed our visit. The Granary was spacious and comfortable. The kitchen had all the utensils and appliances we needed. Stephen was a kind and unintrusive host. We loved the quiet and proximity to sheep, lambs, horses, chickens and cats. We were surprised at how large the cottage was. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a calm, comfortable place to stay near Cheltenham.

stunning property in quiet location

Absolutely stunning property in a lovely, quiet rural setting. Just a short drive to Cheltenham or Gloucester. Unfortunately we stayed during Storm Bert so were unable to take advantage of the nearby walks, but are planning to return again in the summer. The owner could not be more welcoming. The fresh eggs from the farm hens were delicious.

Perfect

Excellent stay! Accommodation was perfect, with all amenities necessary. We especially enjoyed the fire in the evenings. Stephen was really helpful and answered any questions straight away. Location great. We’re a Family of 4 & a dog and had a lovely stay.

10/10 Excellent

A very good, light and airy cottage, with very helpful owners and excellent for our dog.

The wood-burner wasn't very efficient at heating the room, hence 4 for comfort above. However the bed was the most comfortable in any cottage we have hired for years, the owners' fields made exercising the dogs the easiest it possibly could be, and the every 10 minute bus service into Cheltenham from the end of the lane was an absolute boon when we both needed to go in and out of town at different times during the day and evening.

Excellent cottage. Very comfortabele

We enjoyed our time in this cottage. All very comfortable and practical. The owner was very friendly and helpful with directions and tips. We enjoyed the quiet location. Chrltenham and Gloucester on the doorstep. The Farm Shop next door has excellent EV charging facilities as well as a nice shop of course. Catching the sun on the patio was very much enjoyed.

Easter Break and the warmest of welcomes

What a warm welcome we all received - us and our dog! The hosts Stephen and Jess are experts at being very available when you need them at the same time never interfering - so we felt really looked after as well as feeling all the independence of holidaying in a separate space. The Granary is beautiful - well equipped, great wifi signal, warm, the shower is pipping hot, the beds comfy, carpeted throughout and the log burner makes the place so cosy (and Stephen lit it for our arrival). We wished the rain might have made walking a little easier as the ground was sodden (you need wellies!), and we wished that there would be have a pub to be able to walk to across the fields...but, there is a farm shop within reach...and frankly those things have nothing to do with the actual property, which we would return to in a heartbeat. And the dog even got to make use of a warm shower outside post walks, so she was happy and we liked having the downstairs utility room to store all the dog and walking gear! We are planning to come back - if this gem isn't fully booked the whole time - thank you so much!

Just perfect!

Our stay at The Granary was perfect. We were moving out of our house and it was so lovely to have such a cosy sanctuary to go back to at the end of busy days. Stephen was so welcoming and helpful. We could not have asked for more. Everything you need is provided. The kitchen is well equipped, the sofas comfortable and the wood burner is fabulous. The bed was comfortable with lovely linen. The Granary is at the end of a long and pretty bumpy lane, and the first time it is a little daunting, but we soon got used to it and looked forward to the views opening out when we got to the property. Stephen was kind enough to let us walk our dogs in his fields, so they loved it too! When we need to stay in Cheltenham again, the Granary would be our first choice. Thank you Stephen.

Wonderful stay

We have had a wonderful stay at the Granary. Stephen is a very friendly host, the house is spacious and very comfortable and the location is perfect for exploring the Cotswolds and all its walks. If you are looking for a quiet stay, but not far away from a few big cities, this is the place to be.

Perfect Stay at Christmas

We were welcomed by our host, who was friendly and informative. The house was of a good size and had comfortable sofas and beds. A nice log burner kept us warm and cosy. There was also a large area in which to walk our dogs as well as a small self-contained garden. Just perfect!

A perfect cottage

Granary Cottage was absolutely beautiful and even more spacious than shown. It was immaculate, very well equipped and the owner Stephen was so very friendly, welcoming and helpful without being intrusive. The views from the bedrooms were fabulous and the countryside location was spectacular. A truly fabulous holiday in a perfect cottage and really accommodating for our two labradors so that we could relax and enjoy them

Wonderful Christmas stay

Welcoming owners just next door showed us where everything was and the best places to dog walk, including a large field on the farm so secure. The property was beautifully decorated for Christmas and they even lent us their rolling pin so we could make our annual gingerbread house! Beautiful wood burner in the lounge, with a giant TV for those festive season films. Useful utility room for muddy boots and storage. Kitchen small but everything you need for a holiday.

Well located, clean cottage for a Cotswold break

The Granary, provided a clean, well located base for a Cotswold getaway. Plenty of space and good parking. The Owner is extremely hospitable. However, we felt the cottage was overpriced in comparison to others we’ve staid in.

Granary stay

A few flies around windows on arrival which I hate. No milk shower gel or shampoo as mentioned in booking. Grill in oven dirty. Not sure what the £70 cleaning fee is all about as cobwebs around still and windows need a good cleaning apart from that a nice stay with comfortable bed

Excellent place to stay

A lovely place to stay if you want rest and relaxation. The Cotswolds in general are closely available and lots of walking in the area. The granary is a lovely old place full of character. Two excellent local pubs who serve food and welcome dogs.
