James

Lovely quaint cottage for 2. Well maintained and clean through out. Trip to vineyard and tasting which is included was a nice touch and lended up buying some wine and cider.

Kristina

Spectacular Stay! We had amazing time gazing away to vineyards, watching stars from the hot tub. We truly relaxed from our crazy lifestyle in London. Our dog loved long country side walks.The cottage itself felt like home, after long day of exploring, the space wraps you with coziness and comfort. We had the best sleep while staying at the cottage. There's option to do walks in vineyard which was a bonus! The cottage is well set up! We shall be back !

George

We had a perfect last-minute, 2 night stay at The Grape Escape and it couldn't have been better. It was immaculate, very tastefully presented and with a bottle of the vineyard's wine waiting for us. The hot tub is private from the adjoining cottage but also offers an amazing sunset view across the vineyard. We thought the bed was so comfortable tha t we've made a note of its name so we can get one ourselves! Massive thanks to Liz for accommodating us. Highly, highly recommended stay.

Stephen

Lovely small cosy cottage. Very well equipped and comfortable. Lovely and clean. Great to have the Xmas decorations. If the weather was warmer- we would have loved the garden/views/hot tub/bbq.

Shauna

Lovely little place. And the host was very accommodating

Catherine

We stayed for 5 nights with our dog & had a lovely time exploring the area. The property is well thought out & has all you need. Liz & Tom are great hosts - on hand for advice on where to go/visit, how to use the hot tub (we didnt use it this time, not quite the right weather as we had a lot of rain!) etc. The nearby pubs are all lovely; definitely worth booking ahead if you want to eat there. We would definitely come back

Andie

Really comfortable settee and bed. Shower was excellent

Claire

We had a fantastic weekend! The cottage was perfectly furnished for the size and felt bigger than it actually is. The garden is very private and we enjoyed the hot tub every evening. We were welcome to walk around the vineyard which was a very pleasant experience. Liz was so welcoming, with plenty of helpful suggestions for outings/meals/walks. Bes t romantic getaway ever!

Delene

A beautiful little gem. It was the hottest weekend of the year so the hot tub which was used as a cool tub was fantastic. Cottage is very comfortable and clean. Could not fault it. Liz was freindly and helpfull. Throughly enjoyed the ice lollies she had popped in the freezer. Will definitly be back to do some exploring as we were restricted to the heat with our fur baby.

Claire

The Grape Escape is a beautiful compact cottage and Liz is a great host. Everything you need for a cosy get away!

Todd

Had a most wonderful stay at the cottage. Host was very friendly and accommodating, and always on hand if needed. Location was great with fantastic views, and the decor of the property has been done to a very high standard. Would highly recommend. Thanks for a great stay!

Ellaline

We enjoyed our stay so much!! The cottage is in a great location, and we went to several places the owners recommended. The locals are all so friendly too! The hot tub was incredible - word of warning though, use the owners' instructions unless you want to boil alive! Mistakes were made on our first night... Overall, we found everything comfortable , relaxing and beautiful. We also came home with a few extra bottles of their apple juice (wow!).

Claire

Everything about this place screamed a retreat with everything you couldve asked for. The location meant we could travel to places within no time and the home was a wonderful and cosy trove filled with thoughtful efforts - e.g. there were sockets in the upper area where the bed was which was fantastic as my kindle started to run low. The ladder is quite narrow but would recommend people to stay here if mobile. The hot tub under the stars was stunning and afforded beautiful views of the vineyard

Georgia

Amazing place to stay! Hosts were amazing and the wine was incredible! Will definitely be back!

Michael

This cottage was absolutely amazing! Is was cosy and has everything you need. In such a beautiful area. The garden was perfect and looked over the vineyard. Lots of country walks for us and the dog. Quiet area but not far from restaurants and pubs. Hosts were lovely and always available when needed. Only con would have to be comfier bed but wasnt t errible! Would highly recommend and would definitely go back!

Jamie

Amazing place out in the country side , loved our stay! Was so nice to come away and switch off from every day life. The weather wasnt great but that didnt ruin our time in the hot tub! Will be returning again

Victoria

We had the best week staying at The Grape Escape for Christmas. The area is beautiful and quiet, there's so much to see and do nearby with loads of national trust places, castles, beaches and different towns and cities. There's also plenty of pubs only a short drive away too including some amazing gastro pubs. The owner was really lovely, explained everything and popped in with a Christmas gift! The property is beautiful, cozy and perfect for a getaway, with all the small touches!

Melissa

Had an absolutely flawless stay! Loved every minute.

Daniel

Fantastic stay at The Grape Escape, we stayed for a week with our doggie and had a really good time. Liz & Tom are Fantastic hosts and couldn't do more for us before and during our stay. We will certainly visit again in the future :)

Edward

A small but beautiful and comfortable cottage in a lovely setting overlooking the vineyard. The cottage itself had everything you possibly could need for your stay and sitting in the hot tub on the lovely summer evenings made it perfect. Liz the the owner was super helpful, had lots of information ready for us before our stay to help plan our trip and was really friendly.
