Grove Farm Holiday Cottages

31/12/2022

🎉 Happy New Year to all our guests who have supported our business and stayed with us both in Grove Farm House Bed and Breakfast, and our holiday cottages, Beech and Chestnut over the past 15 years.

However, after a successful and busy time in the hospitality industry, we have decided that it is time to move on and concentrate on other areas of our working lives, and so with immediate effect we will no longer be taking bookings.

We have absolutely loved meeting so many people from all over the UK and indeed the world and we can certainly call many of them friends. As you can imagine we have many stories to tell and memories to share and we will look back on this time very fondly (and will forget all the years of laundry, cleaning and ironing!).

Happy New Year to you all 😘

Lovely walk up Earl’s Hill, just outside Pontesbury this afternoon with . Very steep climb, but the spectacular views of what seemed to be the whole of Shropshire (and some of Wales too!) made it worth it. Beautiful.

After a long restoration, the Maltings will be opening to the public on Saturday 10th September 2022. People will be able to visit an exhibition about the buildings as well as a cafe and shop.

Built in 1797, the Grade I listed Main Mill is the world’s first multi-storey, cast iron-framed building, and is considered 'the grandfather of skyscrapers’.

The Di**le. One of my favourite places in Shrewsbury. The floral displays are spectacular, but the trees are also beautiful, and with the sound of the birds, the fountain and people happily chatting, it really is a lovely relaxing place to be.
