Grooms cottage was absolutely beautiful, exactly what we wanted. There was plenty of space and the cottage had everything we could need from baking equipment to a puzzle to keep us entertained. The house is very well equipped and very comfortable. Beautiful views and so peaceful. It was the perfect place to stay for a lovely quiet holiday. Lots of walking areas within a 15 minute drive which we made the most of, and ghe cottage had plenty of space to leave muddy boots and to wash them when needed. Would definitely recommend staying here. You wouldn't regret it.

Grooms cottage is a fully refurbished characterful holiday home, with very nice surroundings. Very clean and well appointed with all the home comforts you need. Lots of lovely countryside to enjoy in the surrounding area, including the River Severn, Wye Valley and Slimbridge Wetland centre.
