About
Abbots Grange is a manor house on Church Street in Broadway, built in the fourteenth century on Pershore Abbey's manor of Broadway; the house says it was the abbot's summer manor. The artist Frank Millet restored it in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It has been owned and run by the Taee family since 1998, and is listed Grade II*.
There are ten bedrooms and suites: character suites, heritage rooms and rooms in the coach house, some with four-poster beds and some with real fires. The Great Hall, the bar in the Abbots Cell and the dining room are on the ground floor, and most of the gardens are level.
It is a bed and breakfast for adults and guests over 16, with no pets, though the whole house can be booked for family gatherings and private events, when children are welcome. A full Cotswold breakfast is served from 8am to 9.30am, Monday to Saturday, and 9am to 10am on Sundays; there is no lunch or dinner, and the High Street's restaurants are a two-minute walk away.
Guests park free, with an EV charger, and may leave the car until 3pm on the day they go, which suits a last walk such as Broadway and Broadway Tower.
