About this property

Romantic Rural Retreat on the Fringes of Bath

Wee Grange is a stylish one-bedroomed apartment forming a self contained annexe to a historic village home in the outskirts of Bath. On two floors, with its own courtyard garden, this romantic bolthole is the perfect base for exploring the World Heritage City of Bath, and the beautiful surrounding countryside of Somerset and Wiltshire. Entering at ground level you will find the kitchen/dining area, with its flagstone floors and tudor fireplace. The historic is complemented by the modern, and you will want for nothing in this kitchen, with its uptodate appliances, including oven and hob, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine. Upstairs is the tastefully styled sitting room, overlooking the historic Village High Street. Listen to the gentle gurgle of the "dogshead" trough in the street below, or be sure not to miss your favourite sporting fixture with full Sky sports package provided. Move onto the bedroom, with its comfortable double bed bedecked in high quality linens, with stone mullioned window and window seat overlooking the village high street. An ensuite bathroom completes the picture; elegant stone wall and floor tiling is complemented by gleaming fittings, and a thermostatically controlled "rainhead" shower over the bath. Enjoy a glass of wine in the private courtyard garden after a day's exploring. Walk into Bath in a half hour along the picturesque Kennet & Avon Canal. Take a short stroll to one of the village's two historic pubs for your evening meal, one on the Canal, another on the river, and both a few minutes' walk away. Leave your car in the village and take a quick bus trip into town -or take the scenic route by water taxi from the Bathampton Mill straight to the centre of town. Cycle to the historic Dundas Aqueduct and beyond to Bradford upon Avon along the Canal, or drive to one of the many major sites a short distance away - from National Trust properties, to historic Salisbury, to the beautiful Cotswolds, to cosmoplitan Bristol. Wee Grange offers you a peaceful, elegant retreat from your days' exploration, and a convenient launchpad to all that this beautiful part of the country has to offer.

Lovely stay
This listing was the perfect place for us to have our minimoon. We enjoyed how close it was to the canal as we had decided to walk into Bath city centre each day, and it was a lovely walk. The area is lovely and quiet, and as a host, Annie was lovely, the communication we had with her was timely and she provided extensive directions to find the property which was very helpful. Overall, a lovely stay and would stay again.

Historic treasure
We enjoyed a relaxing and comfortable stay at the Wee Grange. We chose it for its proximity to the canal then later realized the historic significance of the building itself. The garden courtyard was a bonus. It was also walking distance or an easy bus ride into Bath to explore this incredible world heritage site. So much history and amazing architecture.

Highly Recommend
This is such a lovely cottage, the photos don’t do it justice. It’s beautifully furnished, very clean with a lovely comfortable bed. We stayed here during the cold frosty, snowy weekend in December and it was extremely warm and cozy. Perfect for exploring the surrounding area with a short bus ride or walk along the canal into Bath. We will certainly be making a return visit.

Perfect for 2 just outside Bath
Wee Grange is perfect for 2 people and a 30minute walk along the canal path to Bath. The accommodation is faultless. Very comfortable bed (we slept in most days), super shower and great kitchen diner. Separate lounge with comfy sofa. Great TV with sky and very good WiFi. Annie is a lovely host and nothing is any trouble. If you're looking for somewhere to stay that's not in the bustle of Bath, Wee Grange may be just for you.

A great place to stay, excellent for trips to the Cotswolds
We spent 2 weeks in this great accommodation. From the beginning we felt very comfortable. The location of the apartment is excellent. You can walk very nice along the canal to Bath. A supermarket is also close by. We have made trips to Bath, Bristol, Oxford, Lacock, Durham Park, Castle Combe, Durdle Door, Wells, Sudeley Castle, Bourton on the water..... Everything is very easy to reach in 1 to 2 hours. The apartment is exactly as described and very lovingly furnished.

Charming cottage in a beautiful village
I stayed a month here and found the cottage to be a home away from home. The hosts have thought of every little detail to make even a long stay very comfortable. The furnishing is vintage and lovely and the bed very comfortable. I cooked in the kitchen, did laundry and hang it out on the line to dry, went for long walks along the canal, fed swans and ducks and petted little cats sunning themselves. It really was idealic after living in New York City. I got in my steps by walking to Bath every morning for coffee (40 minutes). Highly recommend.

Really Wonderful
We stayed for a week and had a wonderful time. We met Annie the host on our arrival and she was very welcoming and really lovely. This accommodation is truly gorgeous. Very clean and comfortable. A 5 minute walk takes you to the canal towpath and it's an easy walk into Bath, approx 30 minutes. The other way is a 45 minute walk to the aqueduct and is well worth the walk. The local pub is 5 minute walk. I would definitely stay here again and have recommended it to friends. It's worth booking just to try Martin's homemade marmalade. Annie and Martin leave their guests milk and homemade marmalade. Thank you for hosting us.

Wunderschönes Cottage
Dieses Landhaus ist sehr schön eingerichtet, sehr geräumig und sehr sauber. Die Lage ist optimal, auch wenn man ohne Auto unterwegs ist. Bathampton ist ein ruhiger Ort, von dem aus man wunderbar am Kanal entlang in die Stadt spazieren kann. Wir können dieses Haus uneingeschränkt empfehlen und werden sehr gerne wiederkommen.
