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.



The Annexe is strictly no smoking and is not suitable for children. Please be aware parking is included for one vehicle only.



Please note that there will be no BBQ from end of October to 1st April for guests to use.

Great base to explore the Shropshire countryside

Lovely place to stay. Very comfortable, clean and with everything you could want for a few days away including well equipped kitchen, board games and lots of local information. The garden is great, it was lovely to watch the birds fluttering around and the koi in the pond. Loved the hot tub, very easy to use and such a bonus. Nearest town had a good shop and couple of decent takeaways. Really well positioned to explore walks in Shropshire.

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.

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
