What makes these properties so quirky?
If you are looking for a really unusual & quirky holiday cottage, somewhere really unique to escape to... Then look no further. Here at Grove Cottages we handpick each of our holiday cottages to ensure each one is individual, giving guests a unique and quirky holiday cottage retreat. For those unusual holiday cottages that 'really stand out from the crowd' - at Grove Cottages, we pride ourselves with that unique bracket.
Sink into one of our comfortable period sofas, in front of an Inglenook fireplace, whilst gazing at the uneven ceilings with large beams that can tell stories of hundreds of years.
Amongst our range of these quirky holiday cottages you can even enjoy sloping floors, bulging walls and sagging ceilings, beautiful Persian rugs and original bake ovens. All of our quirky holiday cottages have been lovingly restored (not just renovated) to keep all of the original period features.
The Cottages
It is the history that certainly sets our quirky holiday cottages apart and Mill Cottage surely is steeped in it. With its water wheel that generates electricity, and very own pond where you can swim freely and row the boat, Mill Cottage really is quirky.
Amongst the nature reserve meadows sits a thatched house perfect for story telling – an unusual luxury, hard to find elsewhere.
Breton beds are a personal favourite in our quirky holiday cottages, where you can snuggle down and shut yourself away from the world. Laundry Cottage is home to a beautiful Breton bed with some impressively carved sliding doors. Hidden inside it is a single bed – the perfect spot for losing yourself in a good book.
It is not every day you get to retreat to a Shepherds Hut in a wildflower meadow. Borleymere Shepherds Hut is one of our most quirky holiday cottages. Situated on the Essex/Suffolk border, tucked away in a remote woodland area and accommodating two, Borleymere Shepherds Hut is ideal for a couple who dream of a bit of peace and quiet during their long weekend.
Located in Hadleigh – an ancient market town – is The Old Monkey. A tiny, but very cosy & unusual cottage. The Old Monkey sleeps two so is perfect for couples seeking a romantic break in an unusual holiday cottage. With a wealth of beams, a tiny steep staircase, lime wash walls and a beautiful open log fire, it really is an unusual holiday cottage to escape to.
Perhaps there is a large group of you that wish to travel further afield to a very quirky, unusual holiday house? Tara is our very own historic log house in the Czech Republic. It is situated in the centre of its very own twenty acre private wildflower meadow, located in the beautiful Beskydy Mountains. Tara can accommodate up to twelve people, so it is perfect for a large family or group of friends whom want something entirely quirky & unusual.
