About this property
Ludlow 4 miles. Situated on a smallholding in the Shropshire Hills AONB, on the outskirts of the thriving town of Ludlow, is this exceptional annexe, resting in 10.5 acres of land and positioned next door to the owner's home. Entering a private driveway, find the front entrance where you can step into open-plan living space, with all the facilities and furnishings you could need for a remote break to the countryside. Stepping into this well-designed, open-plan interior, you will be greeted to a wonderful base for a relaxing evening curled up with your partner on the sofa. Delight in the provided TV for keeping up to date with your favourite shows, whilst the electric woodburning stove provides that added bit of warmth during those chillier months. The kitchen is amply-equipped with everything you could need for a weekend in the countryside, whilst the dining area is the perfect spot for a hearty breakfast and planning the days ahead. Externally, the property has a wonderful patio garden area, with delightful views across the countryside, the ideal place to sit out with a refreshing drink and a good book. While you're in the area, take a drive towards the bustling town of Ludlow, where you will discover a wealth of tourist attractions. Ludlow Castle is a medieval fortress with restored Norman citadel towers and boasting wonderful country and riverside views. Also close by, why not spend the day at Ludlow racecourse and enjoy a day out getting dressed up and enjoying a few glasses of bubbly. Venture towards the Shropshire Way, a long distance footpath spanning across 139 miles and is the perfect opportunity for those keen walkers and cyclists, with plenty pf nearby lakes and rivers for a spot of fishing or sailing. Why not take a trip to Hereford where you can visit Hereford Cathedral, this cathedral church of the Anglican Diocese of Hereford in Hereford, England. Its most famous treasure is Mappa Mundi, a medieval map of the world created around 1300 by Richard of Holdingham.

It was equipped with everything needed for our stay. Natural bedding was a welcome change to synthetic. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend High Grove.

If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is very much the place for you. You will need a car to stay here unless you do not plan to venture out. Only a few miles from Ludlow, but you are very much in the country. Apart from the odd passing car or plane overhead, all you hear are animals or the breeze. Great view over the paddock towards the hills - never tired of looking at it. The property is comfortable, warm and well-equipped with a patio area which catches the sun in the evening. Wifi was very good, considering the isolated location. The bedroom is built into the roof, so watch out for trusses and don't bang your head. Be aware that you may be greeted by a large barking dog. Don't worry, he and his friend are actually very friendly. The owner lives next door, but makes a point of not being intrusive, whilst being available if required. We arrived to find a home-made cake waiting for us - happy days! We really enjoyed this property and would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone looking for a quiet retreat.
