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.

Fell in love with Shropshire whilst we were there.

Pauline & Paul were super friendly. Accommodation was very snug and warm. Kitchen was well equipped. Nice big TV and comfy sofa for the evenings in. Added bonus of the Hot Tub after a hard days walking. Ideally located for Ludlow, ShrewsburyTelford. Short walk into Craven Arms. Buss stops to LudlowShrewsbury right across the road. Walks and historic stuff all around. Only point to note is that property is cited near a main road be prepared for a little noise from all the busy farm folk & traffic. Other than that would happily visit again :)

Perfect place for some relaxation

The Grove Annex was &#39Perfect'. Pauline and Paul have made it a lovely place to stay, with everything you could need. The garden was lovely, sitting in the hot tub, watching all the birds. Inside was very comfortable and immaculately clean. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Absolutely fabulous place. Wanted for nothing!

Loved this place. Warm, clean and comfortable. Owners really friendly. Had everything we needed including a few extras like small bottles of wine! Hot tub was fabulous. Great location for getting to Ludlow or Church Stretton. Had a lovely meal in The Plough Inn (walking distance up the road) and they were also very amenable. Would also recommend The Stables and the Indian Raza's in the centre of Craven Arms. We will be returning - perhaps to the other more log-cabin like accommodation they have next door. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Hard to think of anything. Thought it might be annoyingly noisy with road and train track so close by but we didn't really notice it!

A great space for two.

Grove Annexe is a great space for two with a all 4 rooms being a very good size. It is comfortable, well furnished and well equipped. It was good to have pleasant garden sitting areas, and the hot tub is a fun extra. It is located by the A49, so easy to find and. It is also well positioned for getting to the many and varied attractions of South Shropshire. There’s a pub in walking distance. An excellent visitor centre with local walks only a few miles away. There are castles, market towns, local produce, and wonderful hills and walking. Lots to do and yet the area has a quiet feel. I should also mention the friendly and helpful owners next door. We’ve no complaints really. The electric shower lacks power and needs careful adjustment but it’s ok.

Lovely Cottage extremely clean and tidy, hot tub brilliant, in great location for Craven Arms, and Ludlow. Only downside next to main A49 road, a lot of traffic noise in bedroom, especially if your not used to traffic noise, just meant we had to get up early.

Just had a lovely week here, eveb though the weather wasn't the best it did t stop us enjoying the hot tub, plenty to do in and around the area. We enjoyed the games available so even though it was raining we still had things to do. Really would recommend to anyone. Paul and Pauline were lovely and if we had any problems they came round to help. Hope to be back soon

Perfect in every way

Grove annex is the perfect place for a couple. Even though it is designed for two it was very spacious and the owners had thought of everything we could need. The hot tub is in a very private garden and was a welcome relief after the many walks we did around the beautiful surroundings. The owners are lovely, very welcoming and helpful. We have stayed in many great homes in this country and abroad but this has been the best house with the nicest owners. Nothing.
