Grovewood House is in a quiet village with beautiful surroundings, and River/ Brooke in garden. We are 1 mile from our local pub, and restaurant all set on the beachfront. Lots of activities for you to explore in this area of natural scenic beauty . Relaxing and peaceful. We welcome you as our guests. Hammock, and Hot Tub are there for your use, when requested. We also have a BBQ that is available with Shed Snug for hire. I am a Shibashi coach and I offer# Holistic Kicks, that is Complimentary Martial Arts, this is suitable for all ages, gentle exercises and movement. and can be arranged as an addition. We have an Electric Charger in driveway, this is easy to use and has a reasonable cost.
My husband and I are keen collectors, our interests are old classic cars and motor bikes. We also like history and visiting places of interest. I like Tai Chi, for relaxing and keeping fit . My husband is an engineer. He likes swimming in the nearby sea.
Close by Golf courses, Nature reserve, Cycling, Castles, History, Gardens, Coastal Walks , Scenic Views and Beautiful countryside. Restaurants and Pubs all nearby, on beachfront.
