A real welcome

The kind of place that remembers how you take your tea.

Grove House is small on purpose. Six en-suite rooms, a conservatory full of plants, off-road parking behind the gate, and a host who is genuinely glad you came. Guests tell us the same thing again and again: the welcome is warm, the rooms are spotless, and breakfast is worth getting up for.

It is the opposite of a chain hotel, and that is exactly the point.

— Lesley, your host

Two centuries of welcome

A house with a long memory.

"Grove House was originally built as a hunting lodge for the Duke of Sutherland in 1825. Originally called Freezeland House, the property has a long history connected to the Lilleshall company." From the house's own records
1825

Built for the hunt

Raised as a hunting lodge for the Duke of Sutherland, whose great estate lay close by at Lilleshall, brick and timber set against the Shropshire fields.

The 1800s

Freezeland House

Through the industrial age it was known as Freezeland House, tied to the Lilleshall Company whose ironworks helped shape the very gorge that travellers now come to see.

Today

Kept by hand, by Lesley

Now a family-run guest house with a garden room full of plants. The old courtesy remains: a warm welcome at the door, a room tidied while you are out, and breakfast cooked to order each morning.

A generous full English breakfast on a rustic table: eggs, sausages, beans, grilled tomato and toast beside a cup of coffee

Cooked to order, every morning

The breakfast guests say is "worth the price of admission alone."

No buffet trays, no heat lamps. You tell us how you like it and it is cooked fresh, right down to the tea poured from the pot without a drop spilled.

They come back. That is the whole review.

The breakfast was freshly cooked the way we wanted, and the tea poured from the pot without a drop!

Recent guest

Cannot fault the friendliness of the staff, the warm welcome or the comfort of the rooms.

Booking guest

Bed remade and room tidied and replenished while we were out. A lovely touch.
