Hotel Grove Farm B&B (Leominster, United Kingdom)

This farmhouse bed and breakfast appealed to guests looking for an out of the ordinary way to enjoy the English countryside as it offered a peaceful idyllic location on a working farm with sheep, hens, horses and pigs. The setting was perfect for evening strolls and the owners even had farm maps available to help visitors get their bearings. Motorists appreciated the free parking and proximity of the A49, enabling access to area attractions and beauty spots plus Hereford, Ludlow and Leominster for railway stations, shopping and dining options.

Travellers liked the comfortable, clean and cosy rooms with their farmhouse feel. Visitors also appreciated the yummy home-made cakes and pleasant countryside views. Another plus was the shared kitchenette and lounge that was provided for guests.

Diners loved the filling and appetizing full English or vegetarian cooked breakfasts that were freshly-prepared and featured produce straight from the farm. The afternoon teas also got the thumbs up. Guests spoke highly of the welcoming and helpful hosts for whom nothing was too much trouble.

Although this property's location appealed to most guests, it was slightly off the beaten path for non-drivers as access to dining options other than the village pub generally required driving or calling a taxi. Furthermore, some visitors noted their footwear easily got dirty outside on the farm.

There were occasional reports that certain rooms could have been more vigorously cleaned to remove cobwebs or dust. Some guests struggled adjusting the room temperature to their liking.

Visitors appreciated the availability of free Wi-Fi, although some critics claimed they encountered a weak signal in some areas of the property.
