"We stayed at Grove Farm for a 50th birthday celebration."
It was perfect from start to finish. The home made cake on our arrival was most welcome after our journey. We would highly recommend this property. The location was fantastic and there was plenty for us all to do in the local area. We enjoyed a evening meal at the village pub. Aged range of group 7-83.

"A wonderful house with everything we needed and more besides."
This was our 2nd visit and would rank as perhaps the best property we have visited on annual basis(in nearly 20 yrs ), especially located where it is, in the beautiful area of Shropshire. The owners ( next door) were especially helpful and accommodating in giving us up to date guidance on the extreme weather conditions on our day of arrival.
We would recommend this property without any reservations and would imagine it would be perfect for a spring or summer family holiday as well.

"We had a very relaxed and happy time at Grove Farm - the property is in a beautiful location and was perfect for a stay with extended family."
We did have some issues finding the property using Google maps which seems certain Grove Farm is a different property in the same village! It might be worth updating the detailed directions to note this and provide a more detailed description of its location. We would love to revisit at some point.

"Stayed at Grove Farm for a family celebration in October and had the most wonderful time."
The property is immaculate and perfect for large groups, with everyone having either a king or super king bed and an en-suite. Two interconnected lounges were ideal for families with children. The well stocked open kitchen and huge dining table were perfect for our needs. We also appreciated the home baked cake on arrival.
Ideally situated for Shrewsbury and Ludlow. We enjoyed a walk around Carding Mill Moor and a visit to Church Stretton. Highly recommend.

"Every year we 12 ladies meet to spend time together."
We used to all live in the same village, but most have since moved away so this is a really important time for us. To walk, read, eat, drink, and more. We try to chose places with enough rooms and, more imortantly, bathrooms to accomodate us all. This house in Shropshire has all of this and more. Recently renovated to an exceptional standard, we were delighted to spend 5 glorious days here. Every room is fabulous (even the bunk room had it's own bathroom) and just as important, there is a downstairs loo! Everything we needed was provided in the kitchen. We loved the random collection of chairs around the huge table that fitted the space perfectly. We watched the world go by (as well as the robot grass cutter) from the ultimate comfort of two chairs placed just so. Two living rooms meant that there was always space for everyone, even if one of us wanted to be quiet - that didn't happen very often! We even organised a quiz night so the two rooms were perfect for this purpose. Every bed was comortable, every room spotlessly clean, every need met.
The village is an ideal base for walks directly from the house or a short drive away. We would recomend Ashes Valley from Little Stretton as our favourite. There were ponies to talk to and the family were so welcoming. We are in the process of booking for next year already.

"We had a wonderful stay at Grove Farm for a family birthday, and what can I say?"
! The property is absolutely lovely and perfect for a larger group of adults and children. So nice to all be able to sit together to share a meal or game at the table, and to spend time in the garden as well. Cardington is a very beautiful village and we enjoyed walking round it (as well as popping to the local pub). Listening to the church bells and watching the birds and wildlife was so relaxing and just what was needed! Rhiann is an extremely generous and responsive host, and we couldn't recommend staying here highly enough. We'd love to come back!
Thank you Lydia for your lovely comments. We’re so glad you enjoyed Grove Farm and its beautiful surroundings. It was lovely you got to meet Bluebell and Annie, our lovely ponies next door. We look forward to welcoming you back!
Best wishes,
Rhiann.

Great for exploring the local area, and a short stroll from the village pub.
The owners are friendly and welcoming.
This house ranks with the very best we have stayed in over a few years of renting holiday homes.

"Wow when we arrived."
Outside and inside is as pictured on the website. Its a new site and the attention to detail is exceptional. A lot of love and thought has been put into the design and furnishings. We were a party of 7 (2 couples and 3 singles) and the accommodation was just right. All bedrooms are en-suite with large beds and comfortable matresses. We were lucky with the weather (early March) and breakfast with bi-fold doors open was ever relaxing. Kitchen fully appointed as you would expect. Instructions were clear and concise particularly with regard to waste and recycling. We did not use the wood burning stoves as the ground underfloor heating and radiators in the bedrooms were more than adequate. The Royal Oak is a small local that is closed on Monday and serves food only Wednesday to Sunday lunchtime.
If I would make a couple of points about the switches and WiFi. There are a lot of light switches downstairs for interior and exterior lighting and even though they are labeled it can still be confusing. Also, the WiFi distribution about the property is not consistant. For my iPhone on latest OS I could not get a signal at ground level. In this area there is no normal phone signal so WiFi is essential. The two TVs would not connect to the WiFI.
But all in all, it was a warm, comfortable and quiet place to spend a family gathering to celebrate a special birthday.
Thank you so much for the outstanding review. We’re so glad you had a warm, comfortable and enjoyable stay at Grove Farm. I’m so sorry to hear that you had problems with the internet. Had I have known, I could have easily rebooted it to ensure you had a better internet connection for your weekend stay. We have a technician currently investigating the problem to ensure the internet connection on the ground floor is as good as the rest of the house.
The light switches are also something we are simplifying for ease.
It’s great to hear that you would like to book a stay at Wilstone Cottage, our smaller property, in the future. We look forward to welcoming you then.
Best wishes
