At Wickham Grange we offer a high standard of comfortable accommodation in the relaxed and informal atmosphere of our own home. We aim to provide the facilities, service, and surroundings we look for ourselves when going away.

Conveniently situated in the Cotswolds between Stroud and Cirencester, we are within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.  Wickham Grange is a Georgian period house with generous well proportioned rooms, and many original features including large windows allowing lots of light into the south facing rooms

Why not take a Walking Break at Wickham Grange? Spring is a marvellous time to walk in the Cotswolds. The countryside is beginning to wake after winter, green shoots are emerging, and daffodils and primroses sprinkle the hillsides. There are less people to fill the cosy country pubs, and its easier to find a place by the log fire! There are dozens of walks in the immediate area for walkers of all abilities, and most of them take in a variety of countryside - hills, valleys and gentle riverside strolls. There are several Nature Reserves  in the valley, full of wildlife, birds and interesting plants. Within a short drive are National Trust commons, and gentle rolling hillsides studded with woods with tremendous views over the Severn Vale to Wales and the Malvern Hills. We can supply maps and detailed instructions for the area, including a selection of circular walks and, as keen walkers ourselves, help you to decide on the best walks to take to make the most of your stay. Although one of the attractions of the area are the many country pubs (most of which all serve good food) we can supply delicious packed lunches for you to enjoy. It is also sometimes possible for us to drop you off and pick you up at the end of your day.

In the immediate vicinity are opportunities for walking (many walks straight out of the door without having to use your car), horse riding and cycling in the five valleys which surround Stroud. You could even take a hot air balloon trip – a wonderful way to view the valleys below.  In addition close by are golf courses and even a gliding club.

The market town of Cirencester, known as the “Capital of the Cotswolds” is a short drive away. This historic town with its Roman Amphitheatre, Roman Villa (at Chedworth a short drive away) and newly refurbished Corinium Museum is well worth a visit.  The parish church, built on the proceeds of the rich wool trade from the surrounding area, is on the central scenic market place, where regular markets (including a Farmers Market) are still held.  From here you can wander around the small streets off the market place, where many small, highly original shops, art galleries, cafes and restaurants vie for your attention.

Events such as Cheltenham Gold Cup, Gatcombe and Badminton Horse Trials, and the various festivals held in Cheltenham, are also good opportunities for visiting the area.

•  Nearby are the local Cotswold towns of Stroud, Minchinhampton, Tetbury and Nailsworth, and also within an hour’s drive are Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bath and Bristol.  In the other direction Cotswold attractions such as Bibury, Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold and Moreton-in-the Marsh are also within easy reach. With its easy access to the M4, M5 and major ‘A’ roads, Wickham Grange is a central and convenient point from which to visit all areas of the Cotswolds. There is even a bus stop at the bottom of our drive for the more ecologically conscious visitor arriving by coach.
