Travelling even short distances with babies and young children can be a logistal nightmare. From high chairs, to cots, sterilisers and nappies, the packing list can seem endless. Add to that, concern about how your child will react to a new environment and change of routine, and a family holiday can sometimes seem more stressful than it's worth. But fear not, Woolley Grange offers a relaxing solution to smooth parents' furrowed brows.

Woolley Grange is an idyllic location for a family summer holiday. A Jacobean country pile that 'oozes charm' and is a stone’s throw from Bath, Longleat, the Cotswolds, Stonehenge and some gorgeous National Trust properties as well as an easy downhill stroll from the medieval and picturesque market town of Bradford on Avon. But with so many fun and relaxing things to do at Woolley, you may choose not to leave the hotel grounds at all...

Wiltshire and NE Somerset are glorious counties for walks. Big open skies, gently rolling hills, sleepy riverside pastures and shady canal paths. A real ‘get away from it all’ haven and, for the most part, not at all crowded.

At Woolley Grange we honour the tradition of afternoon tea with freshly made sandwiches, homemade scones with jam and cream and some rather fancy cakes and patisserie. Never forgetting children, we also offer a very reasonably priced children’s afternoon tea with sandwiches, cakes, savoury snacks and, of course...jelly!

Welcome to a brave new year. Whether you’ve resolved to relax more, worry less, look after yourself better, or simply have more family time, we’ve got some great events and offers coming up that might just help!
