Is Kentisbury Grange Right For Your Group

Discover why this cottage is the one for your party or family reunion...

For Families
Cottage Suite is designed specifically for adult couples rather than families with children. The one-bedroom layout and romantic atmosphere make it unsuitable for young guests.

The hot tub is exclusively yours throughout your stay. Combined with the peaceful location and luxury interior, it creates an ideal environment for anniversaries, honeymoons or special celebrations requiring complete privacy and relaxation.
Pet Friendly
Cottage Suite does not accept pets of any kind. The property maintains a strict no-pets policy to preserve the accommodation standards and ensure comfort for all guests. If you're travelling with dogs or other animals, you'll need to make alternative arrangements. The surrounding area does offer excellent walking routes and outdoor spaces that welcome pets, but they cannot stay at this particular property during your visit.
