ExplorePROPERTY OF THE MONTH
School House | Grittleton, Wiltshire
A chocolate-box cottage in a sleepy village on the edge of the Cotswolds, with a wisteria-clad stone front, candy-blue door and interiors full of colour and character. Curl up by the fire, rustle up something comforting on the AGA, or head out to explore nearby Castle Combe and the surrounding countryside before retreating home for a cosy night in.
“If you’re searching for the perfect coastal bolthole, Coxswain’s Cottage is a strong choice.”
HARPER'S BAZAAR
“…’stunning’ is an understatement: the sleek modernist house is all sea-view glass, muted grey palettes and designer pieces, plus one of Cornwall’s best beaches just outside”
THE TIMES
“It feels more like a luxury boutique hotel, with each room adopting a different style personality, from the dark-navy-walled cinema room to the prettiest attic twin room, complete with Soho Home rattan bedside lamps and Ottoline wild tulipwallpaper.”
LONDON EVENING STANDARD
“In many ways, this is the quintessential Cotswold hideaway – honey-coloured stone, beamed ceilings, open fireplaces – yet Laura Stephens’ interiors set Well Cottage apart from other holiday lets.”

ANY QUESTIONS?
WHAT IS THE BOOKING PROCESS & PAYMENT SCHEDULE?
To secure a booking with us, we ask for a 50% deposit at the time of booking, with the remaining 50% being due two weeks prior to the stay.
HOW DOES THE 'FROM PRICE' WORK?
The price displayed on the property webpage is a “from” price, which reflects the lowest available rate for that property. As our prices vary depending on the dates and number of nights you choose, so the total cost for your selected stay may be higher. To view the most accurate price, simply enter your preferred dates into the booking calendar.
CAN I CANCEL MY BOOKING?
If you choose to cancel your booking, our standard cancellation terms and conditions (see Section 11) will apply. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer refunds outside of these terms, so we strongly recommend that all guests take out suitable travel insurance to cover unexpected changes to their plans. If we need to cancel your booking, you will be offered the choice of transferring your booking to alternative dates, receiving booking credit, or receiving a full refund.
CAN I BRING MY DOG?
We know holidays are better when your four-legged friend can come too, so we encourage our property owners to welcome pets wherever possible. As each home is privately owned, the number of dogs allowed and any pet charges vary by property. You’ll find these details on the individual property page. We simply ask that dogs are not left unattended, are kept under control, and stay off the furniture. At most properties, dogs are also not permitted upstairs or in bedrooms. While most properties have outdoor space for dogs to enjoy, enclosed gardens cannot be guaranteed to be completely escape-proof.
DO ANY OF THE ESCAPES OFFER ONE-NIGHT STAYS?
As standard, we don’t offer one-night stays, as single-night gaps are usually kept free to allow for property maintenance and upkeep. However, at a small number of properties, one-night stays may occasionally become available if there’s a gap in the calendar and the owner is happy to accept a booking. When this happens, the dates will be available to book directly through our website.
