Really pleasurable winter break at The Granary

My family had a wonderful stay at the Granary, which was perfectly located to enjoy the Cotswolds for a short winter break. The property is located on a beautiful estate close to the village of Naunton. It is well maintained, clean, warm, cosy, spacious and very well equipped with everything one could possibly need, including the lovely open fire. Our hosts were welcoming, charming and accommodating. Thank you for a pleasurable stay. We would love to visit again to enjoy the area in spring or summer.

Long weekend stay

Beautiful Granary, but will not be staying again as the host Jo was not friendly at all. Feel like you are being watched all the time as they live opposite. Jo was sneakily taking photos of us from behind the door of her catering van! A complete lack of privacy and made us feel really uncomfortable, ultimately ruining our stay. Beds uncomfortable and lots of dust/cobwebs. Also have dogs running around barking without being watched.

Fantastic private property, with so much character and charm

We couldn't recommend this property more highly. Very clean, spacious and in a great location. Lots of lovely little touches that made our stay so welcoming. Great for families as there is a lot of space in the open planned living areas. Jonny was a great host and extremely welcoming. The main property and gardens are beautiful, we look forward to coming back!

About the host

Hosted by John & Jo Ireland

John and Jo bought Aylworth in 2002 as an ideal home to raise their family. Johnny is a dentist and works in Cheltenham, Jo worked in the city before 'retiring' to the country. They spend their time running the farm and looking after their guests and animals. As well as the Self Catering cottage Jo runs a bed and breakfast business from the Manor, spends quite some time in the garden and an inordinate amount of time with the horses and her dogs. Their two children are now in their twenties but enjoy spending time at Aylworth often with friends.

Why they chose this property

There has been a house at Aylworth since Medieval times, infact there is a mention of it in the Domesday Book. The house is surrounded by its farmland and a small hamlet of converted farm buildings. The house and Granary were remodelled in the Georgian era and was renovated by Johnny and Jo when they bought it.

What makes this property unique

There are stunning views over the Cotswolds hills and valleys, excellent walking, the property is situated on the Windrush Way footpath. Uniquely both Johnny and Jo are committed to renewable energy and conservation and the house and Granary are powered by PV panels and a biomass boiler.
