Greystones House is a comfortable family home built of the local soft
blue lias stone. In the early 19th Century Greystones was the home for
the local blacksmith with his forge and stables in the adjacent stone
outbuildings. Over the years the original cottage was extended, first
on the east side (our kitchen with two small bedrooms above and then
'gentrified' in the Edwardian period on the west side (our large
sitting room with bay windows and a rather splendid spacious bedroom
above for our guests). We have a large attractive garden with
some lovely trees, a rather bumpy croquet lawn (it must have been a
grass tennis court 50 years ago) and a much more recently built hard
tennis court. We hope you will come and stay and of course you are very
welcome to enjoy the garden, play tennis or a challenging game of
croquet, snooze in a hammock or swing on a swing ..... weather
permitting!.
Somerset and our close
neighbour Dorset to the south are beautiful rural counties with some
splendid and different historic towns - Bath of course but also
Bristol, Wells, Dorchester and others are well worth visiting. It is
also very convenient for the Bath and West Showground where there are
many events taking place from Antique & Collectors Fairs to the
Bath and West Agricultural Show. Greystones is very much central
to this lovely area and we hope that you will come and stay and conquer!
Greystones has a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere so enjoy your lovely
big bedroom with a good book, a pot of tea and a slice of home made
cake.
