"My Daughter and I had to find cottage last minute because our original holiday was cancelled because of flooding, we were accommodated the same day."
Our first impression when seeing the cottage was this will be perfect, we were not disappointed, we had a warm welcome, muffins and treats made it special, the house was comfortable and homely with extras provided, golf bowling and restaurant, and plenty of gardens and places to see, or relax in cottage garden and hot tub,..Barbara Wicks.
Thank you both for your lovely review. We enjoyed meeting you both and so pleased you came Herefordshire. We hope you will return. Kind regards Zena &Roger Property Owner

"This was by far one of the best cottages we have stayed in."
Quirky, historic and a lovely quiet setting. The hosts were helpful and the welcome pack was amazing. From the big fluffy towels, sharp knives, books and games, beautiful decor, could not fault anything.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review which we appreciate enormously. We hope you will return. Kind regards Zena and Roger Property Owner

"Lovely, quaint cottage with the right amenities, and great facilities at the Grove, with friendly and helpful staff in the whole team."
Thanks for being great hosts! The cottage is amazingly located, and whilst beside the golf course and within walking distance of the facilities is really amazingly secluded. Will definitely hope to return!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback, we are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. We did reach out directly to check what we could have done better rating wise following your booking, as we want to ensure everyone has the best time at Grove Cottage. We discovered our cleaner had missed the shower drain but we can assure you this will now be checked continuously moving forward. It's great that you were able to experience what a amazing location we're in! We would love to see you return, it was a pleasure having you stay with us. Regards Zena & Roger Property Owner

"Cosy if not quirky cottage."
Peaceful private garden with pond - rabbits, squirrels, birds, etc - quiet apart from nearby A49. Several steps into rooms with 13 stairs to first floor - Sykes could have explained not suitable for those with mobility issues (we had great difficulty). Wardrobes and freezer would have proved useful. Owners delightful, welcoming and very helpful. On the whole, enjoyable but too expensive.
Thank you for your review, we were thrilled to receive your lovely 'Thank You' card and pleased Mrs Towers enjoyed the hot tub. We hope you will call in to see us when you are next in the area. Kind regards Zena & Roger Property Owner

"A stunning cottage in a great location."
Very clean and tidy, the hot tub is great and the fire pit is a real treat for the evenings. The cottage is very peaceful and private. Zena is a wonderful host and very helpful. The welcome basket and cake is a real bonus and a lovely surprise. The restaurant at the club is very nice, walking distance with a lovely menu and good food. There is plenty to do locally for day's out. Many thanks for a wonderful and much needed break. Thank you
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review, greatly appreciated and we hope you will return. Kind regards Zena & Roger Property Owner

"We loved staying at Grove Cottage!"
It was comfortably furnished with a lovely mix of old and new and very well-equipped. On arrival we found a wonderful welcome hamper, plus milk in the fridge, coffee and tea, and a gorgeous homemade victoria sponge. There were also supplies of toilet rolls, handwash, clingfilm and foil, plus cleaning products. The upstairs is quite dinky, just the two bedrooms, the double a good size, the twin fairly compact, but downstairs has been very imaginatively extended to make a very spacious living space. One point that is not mentioned in the details is that, no doubt as a result of extending an old cottage, there are a lot of changes of floor level downstairs, some actual steps, but some just enough to make a trip hazard until you're used to them. Other than that, the cottage is delightful! There was no shortage of hot water and the heating was easy to control (despite it being June, the weather was so chilly we used it selectively morning and evening). The pretty garden, beautifully maintained, was lovely to sit in when we did get some sun and my husband really enjoyed the hot tub. One final positive in our eyes was that all the windows had blinds or, in the case of the large window in the lounge/diner, thick curtains. On a chilly night, it was nice to be able to close off the encroaching darkness, even though the cottage was secluded, but too many holiday cottages seem to think it unnecessary.
Thank you both for your kind and thoughtful review. We greatly appreciate the time taken to do this and your advice. We have added some extra pans with lids and the door lock which was new but faulty has now been replaced by the Builders Merchant. We hope you will return. Kind regards Zena & Roger Property Owner

"This is a wonderful cottage, managed with care x Lovely owners, beautifully presented property, with thoughtful touches."
...generous welcome pack....hand-written welcome card. Brilliant location-off the heated track, but in walking distance of the Grove bowl and facilities. Highly recommend. N.B-for Sykes......this property knocks spots off the property in Anglesey from which we had to be moved at Easter!!!!!
Thank you both for taking the time to leave your lovely review, we enjoyed meeting you both and hope you will return! Warmest regards Zena & Roger Property Owner

The foud was brilliant and a great afternoon spent on the crazy golf. With the added bonus of a surper hot tub and lots of extras when we arrived would highly recommend..

"Had a wonderful, relaxing stay in Grove cottage."
We were welcomed by a lovely card, a basket of tasty treats and delicious lemon cake, which was a much needed treat after our long journey to get here. The cottage was clean and well maintained and had everything we needed and the kitchen was very well equipped. The hot tub was a huge bonus and felt very private and secluded of an evening with the garden lights making the space feel cosy. The restaurant at the golf club at the bottom of the track served delicious food and is handy if you don't fancy travelling for food or things to do, but the cottage is also well located for exploring the wider area with plenty of things to see and do a short drive away. The owners provided a folder full of useful information which included nearby attractions and restaurants to visit. Would definitely recommend staying here
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review and pleased you both enjoyed your break. Hope you will return. Kind regards Zena & Roger Property Owner

"We had a fantastic stay at Grove cottage."
We were made to feel welcome at the cottage with a lovely hamper and cake and then by friendly faces at the driving range and bowling alley. The cottage itself was cosy but had everything we needed, even extras for travelling with a 6 month old. Zena suggested some great places to visit and when we returned the log fire and hot tub were a great combination. Thanks for a lovely stay.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, greatly appreciated and we hope you will return. Kind Regards Zena and Roger Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay here and would thoroughly recommend it."
The house is extremely well equipped. Zena’s chocolate cake was amazing! The hamper was one of the best we’ve had. There were plenty of logs for the log burner which was appreciated too. Thank you Zena and Roger.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. Thank you. We hope you will return. Kind regards Zena and Roger Property Owner

"Grove Cottage was absolutely perfect for our weekend away."
The cottage itself had every amenity we could need. The location was private despite the location, and the hot tub was wonderful! We could hear each other talk over the jets.
Thank you for leaving a review, which is greatly appreciated. Kind regards Zena & Roger Property Owner

"Grove cottage is a great little idyll, it gave use the peaceful break we needed, watching all the birds from the hot tub was a highlight."

"Lovely property and owners."
Well equipped throughout, really super welcome basket of goodies including home made cake was a lovely plus and set the tone for the whole stay. Secluded spot but loads to do nearby including golf and bowling plus a lovely restaurant at the Grove in walking distance when you don’t fancy going further afield. Can’t recommend Grove Cottage highly enough, it was super.
Thank you for your lovely review and leaving the Cottage so tidy! Hope you will return to visit us again. Kind regards Zena and Roger Property Owner

"Nothing to complain about here, what a lovely cottage with lots of history behind it."
My only complain would be the lack of pans for frying things, which is obviously not that much of a big deal!
We are pleased you liked Grove Cottage over New Year. We have been guided by Sykes on our equipment and apologise for the lack of frying pans. We did enquire on your arrival if you needed anything, to please let us know. We have taken on board your comment and have added another frying pan. Kind Regards Zena & Roger Property Owner

"We have just finished the most wonderful week's stay over Christmas at Grove Cottage."
We cannot recommend this beautiful property highly enough. The cottage is in a beautifully secluded location but is close enough to get to lovely local areas. It is on the edge of a golf course site with easy access to its bowling alley and crazy golf which were great for the kids. The restaurant on site is wonderful too! Zena and Roger are amazing hosts, we walked in to the most thoughtful welcome pack of treats and necessities, as well as a delicious homemade cake! Zena checked in on us to make sure we were okay during the stay. Our favourite part was probably the hot tub, sitting in it of an evening looking up at the night sky is just amazing, much needed relaxation! We will definitely be back, thank you Zena and Roger!
Thank you for your kind review, pleased your enjoyed Christmas here. We appreciated you leaving the Cottage very tidy! Look forward to seeing you all again. Kind regards Zena & Roger Property Owner

"Best secluded property we have stayed at."
Lovely two bedroom grade 2 listed, a real gem. Set at the end of a tract at the golf course, well equipped inside and heated hot tub outside. Bonus was the facilities at the club, excellent restaurant serving value for money meals. Adventure putting course and ten pin bowling. Wednesday bowl and steak is a must. The other surprise with this property is the hamper, eggs, cake etc that you find on arrival. Wonderful set up Zena and Roger.
Thank you so much for your kind review and appreciate all your comments. Kind regards Zena and Roger Property Owner

"Have just stayed at Grove cottage , a lovely cosy 2 bedroom property."
On arrival there was a basket of goodies,biscuits,crisps,eggs,milk,and a fantastic home made cake .The host Zena popped in to check everything was ok .The property is lovely and private up a track that ends at the property .Everything you could want is there if you want to cook up a meal, or ,if not, at the start of the track is the golf driving range where we ate the first night .There is also crazy golf and a bowling alley there.Although secluded you are not far from places such a Leominster,Ludlow and Hereford.Having a hot tub was great as we sipped wine looking up at all the stars in such a black sky, which you don’t get in the city with all the light pollution .The lounge has a log burning fire which made for a cosy atmosphere and I would highly recommend this property as the hosts have thought of everything you may need .
Lovely to meet you both and thank you for all your kind comments. Kind regards Zena & Roger Property Owner

"Wow what a brilliant retreat."
Repeat visit required for sure! Grove cottage is a beautiful game keepers cottage, just off the beaten track pretty much secluded, in the grounds of a golf course beautiful decor and amenities. Comfortable, clean and it says come back for more. The hamper was the best we've ever had with any break we've had through Sykes, cake, eggs, bread, snacks etc etc even milk.to enjoy a coffee once we arrived and seeming it was our wedding anniversary break Zena and Roger had left us an extra celebratory gift in the fridge to enjoy toasting in the hot tub later. Thank you :-) We enjoyed our time visited the Hickory stick restaurant for the Wednesday Steak and bowl which we couldn't fault with friends who visited for the day but they also do food through out the day starting with breakfast til 6pm. Recommended to friends already and they will be booking up too. Things we did while there, was a trip to the Newcourt cider just down the road, The Bush Inn for a very different afternoon tea, Monkland cheese dairy, local cosy pub in Leominster the White lion and Coffee, cake and more at St Michael's hospice coffee and books. Sure there's lots more to explore yet that we didn't get to do. We did plan to go to Queenswood park/arboretum and a few walks and a visit to the local deli in town but that'll be on the list next time. As you can see a most enjoyable stay.
We very much appreciate your kind comments and look forward to your return. Kind regards Zena & Roger Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay at Grove Cottage."
The cottage was clean, we had everything we needed, and were welcomed by a fabulous hamper and chocolate cake! The lounge was cosy, with the woodbuner lit, the hot tub was great after walks in the countryside, and it was a bonus to be able to visit the restuarant at the end of the track for a tasty meal. The cottage is very peaceful and steeped in history, would definitely stay again!
Thank you so much for your kind review and you had an enjoyable stay. We look forward to you all visiting us again. Kind regards Zena & Roger Property Owner

"We were greeted with a big chocolate cake and a lovely welcome card."
The second week Zena made us delicious home made scones. Mmmm! Zena also left us lots of added extras that were a big surprise and most welcome. Having a private hot tub in the lovely garden area was also an added bonus; as well as close access to the golf club and restaurant, crazy golf etc. Zena was on hand, only a phone call away, if we needed anything, and was very nice and friendly. We enjoyed getting out and about a lot, as well as enjoying some time in the lovely, historic, cosy cottage. We would highly recommend Grove Cottage.
Thank you both for your kind review. We hope you will visit us again. Kind regards Zena & Roger Property Owner

"Really enjoyed our short break in this delightful little cottage."
The location was secluded and peaceful but not too far from everything. The welcome hamper and attention to detail provided by Zena and Roger was excellent and much appreciated. The cottage was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. We tried the bowling and steak night which was very good at the golf club. Excellent place to stay. Would definitely recommend and stay again ourselves.

"Absolutely amazing…."
Just a last minute booking before the kids went back to school. We were welcomed with a chocolate cake from our lovely hosts. The cottage was clean & tidy on our arrival, the hot tub was brilliant and the garden was ace. The cottage was steeped in history and so much to do in the area , the kids loved the crazy golf and we all enjoyed the driving range. The experience was amazing & we can’t recommend the cottage enough. Thank you so much for the respite before the return to the grind. Regards The Martins

"I took a midweek break with my son and absolute loved this stunning quirky cottage hidden in a quiet spot on a golf course with a luxury hot tub to sit and unwind watching the wildlife."
There is added bonus of a golf course, driving range, ten pin bowling, crazy golf, and bar/restaurant on site Used the deal on Wednesday night for steak and one game of bowling at a very cheap price and the steak/food was amazing. To top it all off, the owners Zena & Roger could not be anymore helpful and made us feel so welcome. Good luck and take care, will be back soon Kev & Mason
Thank you for your lovely comments, which we appreciate greatly. We enjoyed meeting you both and look forward to your return visit. Kindest regards Zena & Roger Property Owner

The property
Leominster 3.7 miles.
Grove Cottage is an idyllic country retreat in a splendid Grade II listed Game Keepers Cottage designed by John Nash and Humphrey Repton whilst they were working on the Hampton Court Estate for the Arkwright family.
John Nash also designed Buckingham Palace, Marble Arch, Royal Pavilion and Regent Street.
The Cottage design was a template given to many of the Estates and this one was for a Game Keepers Cottage for the Hampton Court Estate.
Situated up a lane on the owner’s farm, in the hamlet of Ford Bridge near Leominster, Herefordshire.
This idyllic country retreat is a perfect choice for families and friends looking to experience the wonders of Herefordshire, with access to plenty of on-site facilities including an 18-hole golf course, ten pin bowling, bar, and a restaurant.
Step inside Grove Cottage, a characterful Game Keepers Cottage with plenty of charm, and you’ll find a well-equipped kitchen with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge with ice box and a breakfast bar.
The ideal space for creating delicious home-cooked meals, the kitchen opens into a spacious living/dining room complete with a woodburning stove and Smart TV, perfect for cosy nights in.
The utility room houses a washing machine and tumble dryer, so you can easily freshen up your wardrobe.
Wind down the day in one of the two bedrooms, pick from a king-size bedroom and a twin bedroom, both stylishly presented.
Freshen up in the ground-floor shower room before heading out to explore the beautiful countryside.
Finally, make the most of the peaceful location with a glass of something special on the spacious garden patio with furniture, fire pit and hot tub, bringing a touch of luxury to your stay.
Within the grounds you can create some friendly competition- If you enjoy a round of golf then there are two challenging nine hole courses, professionally landscaped with outstanding stone and water features.
Combined with top class playing surfaces, rolling woodland with panoramic views and you can see why this is an excellent challenge whatever your golfing standard, either 9 holes on the original Badger Course, popular with golfers of all levels but particularly loved by less experienced players or when time is a premium.
The Deer Run gives a challenging links type course with large full U.S.G.A․ spec greens and sand tees, giving excellent drainage, playing surfaces and holding Greens.
Both these courses can be played as either 9 holes or combined as 18 holes with professional tuition available and there is Leominster Golf Course next door to us which is an additional 18 holes.
Why not check out the 18 hole Mini Adventure Golf course which has been built to test the putting skills of all ages and abilities and enables everyone to join in the fun with all equipment provided.
To compliment the course, a beer garden has been built with a central oak barn and al fresco seating area.
When it comes to exploring the local area, the historic market town of Leominster is just a brief drive away, where you can peruse the local boutiques, sample some traditional British cuisine, pop into a local bar for a relaxing drink, or visit one of the four museums for a taste of the town’s rich history.
Stroll along the River Lugg, past Tithe Barn and take in the beautiful collection of independent shops and cafes or walk through the beautiful Leominster Priory also known as the Cathedral of the Marches.
Ten miles away lies Hereford, home to its ancient, chained library and famous Mappa Mundi, or venture along the Hereford/Shropshire border, with plenty of delightful towns and villages to explore, such as Ludlow, Pembridge, and Tenbury Wells.
Whether you’re looking to explore the countryside with loved ones or simply searching for a peaceful retreat, Grove Cottage has it all, offering an unforgettable Herefordshire adventure.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.
