Quirky Holiday Cottages in the beautiful countryside
What makes these properties so quirky?
We love really unusual & quirky holiday cottages, somewhere that is really unique to escape to. Here at Grove Cottages we only want to offer you beautiful original character cottages, places that are just a joy to be in where you can enjoy beautiful historic features and that special cosiness that has taken hundreds of years to define and nurture.
Sink into one of our comfortable sofas, in front of an Inglenook fireplace, with old brick floors and old wattle and daub walls and daydream about the 100’s of years that people have done just that in the same place.
Amongst our range of quirky holiday cottages you can enjoy brick baking ovens, ancient brick ‘kettles’, Suffolk White brick floors, wattle and daub walls, ancient ships timbers used as support beams, beautiful broad Elm floors, hidden doorways, winding staircases, Breton Beds where the bed is hidden behind a cupboard door like a historic ships cabin and lovely original Persian rugs
All of our quirky holiday cottages have been lovingly restored to keep all of the original period features and many of them are Listed Grade I and Grade II
