About this property

The Grove Annexe

The Grove Annexe is an immaculately presented one-bedroom, ground-floor cottage nestled in the Shropshire countryside. Couples will thoroughly enjoy the secluded hot tub in the large garden while there are plenty of books and games to play indoors.

Located 1.4 miles from Craven Arms and 7 miles from Church Stretton, The Grove Annexe is perfectly located for those wanting to explore the beautiful county. Craven Arms has a variety of shops, a hotel with bar and restaurant, takeaways, cafes, as well as the lovely Stokesay Castle and the nearby Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre with its virtual balloon ride over Shropshire.

The Grove Annexe is a perfect base for walkers with with Wenlock Edge and Corvedale Valley close by, along with the picturesque hills around Church Stretton, known as Little Switzerland.

There is a handy utility room should guests require it and gas central heating with a gas fire in the living room for the cold winter nights. Parking for one car, Wi-Fi, a BBQ, TV with BT entertainment package, DVD player and lockable bike storage mean that guests have all the necessary amenities for a relaxing and comfortable stay.

The Annexe adjoins the owner's Grade II listed lodge next door but the large private gardens and separate entrance mean that The Grove Annexe is still perfectly secluded and ideal for a private getaway. Please note that the Grove Annexe is set back from the A49 road and some faint road noise can occasionally be heard from the garden.

Please be aware parking is included for one vehicle only.

We had a lovely weekend.

The booking was easy and communication prompt and informative. The check in went smoothly, Pauline introduced herself and showed us around and then left us to it for the rest of the weekend. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. The accommodation was spacious but cosy. The garden was private, tidy and calming. The hot tub was clean and well looked after. Loads of information provided on what you could do in the local area. Overall a lovely relaxing weekend, just what we needed.

Spring visit

We came for a short 2 night getaway.. property was absolutely lovely clean, tidy and well kept. Hot tub was a really great place to relax after a long day. The road is a little noisy but private fences did help a little a short drive to some great country pubs too

Recommended cottage

The Annexe is a very well equipped, comfortable cottage. which is an ideal base for much that Shropshire has to offer, being within easy reach of Shrewsbury and Ludlow. Stokesay Castle (which shouldn't be missed) is minutes away. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed, including the fantastic hot tub. We had a really relaxing break and would not hesitate to return and recommend to others. The only negative point was the bed, which was standard double and smaller than we are used to.

A lovely homely accommodation allowing us to rest and relax.

We liked the quality of the accommodation and the central location to Ludlow and the surrounding attractions. The privacy of the accommodation allowed for a very relaxing time and the use of an immaculate and private hot tub was a bonus. The garden area was very pretty at night due to it being decorated with attractive lighting. The hosts were friendly and respectful of our privacy. We had a great time and it was a pleasure to meet Pauline, Paul and Charlotte.

The property was large and spacious for a 2 person occupancy

The Kitchen large and well equipped. The bedroom is very large but with a standard double. Good sized en-suite too. The host helpful and answered all of our questions . The Hot tub was lovely. The décor is a bit dated, but the property was clean and tidy. It is in a great location for visiting the local area, just a bit close to the A49 come Monday morning with early morning traffic but we didn't notice the noise at the weekend.
