Granton House

John and Liz Bloxham offer a very warm welcome at Granton House Bed and Breakfast. We are situated between Monmouth and Ross-on-Wye, and are close to the Forest of Dean, Cotswolds and Welsh Borders. Our C17th home has a secluded, south west garden, nestling into the valley and looks onto a conservation orchard and Coppet Hill, a nature reserve, that is part of the Wye Valley Walk. The famous viewpoint at Symonds Yat is 2 miles away and can be seen from the bottom of our garden. Hay-on-Wye (famous for the annual Literary Festival), Abergavenny (famous for its' annual Food Festival), Hereford,  Gloucester, Bristol, Birmingham and Cardiff are all less than an hour's drive away. We have private parking and secure lockup for bikes and fishing tackle and facilities to dry clothes for walkers.

Rooms

We have two double rooms and one triple room with a double and a single bed. All have good en-suite facilities. Our spacious bedrooms are luxuriously furnished with antiques. The beds are antique but the mattresses are not! Our guests comment on how comfortable they are.

There is a colour TV, an alarm radio and you will find an excellent selection of teas, herbal teas, coffee, hot chocolate, biscuits and mineral water in your room. A hairdryer, hot water bottle, extra blanket, pillows and a fan are available should you require them. An iron and ironing board is also available upon request.

Each of the rooms at Granton House has a selection of magazines, books and a 'Welcome' folder containing brochures about the local area.

Garden

To the rear of Granton House is our secluded and part walled garden, with its ancient apple and pear trees and uninterrupted views of Coppet Hill. There is a long herbaceous border, cut flower garden and large vegetable patch. Our wildlife pond by the terrace is a magnet for dragonflies on warm sunny days.

On arrival during the summer months, enjoy tea on either the covered patio or the open terrace, whilst listening to various birdsong.

The garden is a wonderful place to relax and unwind after a day’s walking, canoeing or sightseeing. Buzzards may often be seen soaring, high in the sky above and Peregrine falcons, which nest at nearby Yat Rock, are also frequent visitors.
