Overview
Description
This secluded, semi-detached barn conversion adjoins the owner's 17th century home only one mile from Clunton, in the heart of Shropshire's beautiful Clun Valley. Set in a lovely hidden valley, off the beaten track, in a peaceful, rural location in the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This superb barn is surrounded by a mix of farmland, hills and glorious woodlands and is set in an area comprising of approximately two acres. It is accessed via its own private entrance at the end of a farm track (please note the farm track is bumpy and may not be suitable for very low vehicles) there are no other properties nearby. King Grove offers a retreat away from the hustle and bustle of life, great for city escapists and those wanting to enjoy the tranquil beauty and nature of the English countryside. King Grove enjoys dark skies with no light pollution, ideal for stargazers. Evenings are filled with the sounds of nature, such as owls, foxes, deer and badgers. Birdlife is abundant and the birdsong in spring is astounding.The barn retains some of its original character, as well as providing quality, contemporary accommodation throughout. It has a very well equipped modern kitchen with dining table, a spacious, comfortable and tasteful lounge with wood burner. Two good sized double bedrooms and a modern shower room with large shower. The south-facing lawned garden at the front of the property is shared with the owners, it also offers the exclusive use of a sunken, sunny patio which is accessed via steps. There are other seating areas (again accessed via steps) within the grounds for guest's use, perfect for relaxing with a drink and dining alfresco, whilst taking in the views of Stepple Knoll, after an exciting day exploring wonderful Shropshire.
There is a community owned pub in Clunton, which is very welcoming and serves good food and drink. There are excellent walks and cycle paths from the doorstep of this Shropshire property, with Offa's Dyke, the Shropshire Way and Jack Mytton Way close by, making it an idyllic location for walkers, cyclists and birdwatchers.
The enchanting wildlife site of Clunton Coppice is just a short stroll, as is Bury Ditches, an impressive Iron Age earthwork fort from which uninterrupted views can be enjoyed. The owners enjoy walking and cycling the local area themselves and are very pleased to help guests with suggestions. Horse riding is available locally and mountain bike hire can be organised locally too. Bishop's Castle with its excellent real ale pubs and restaurants is close by. Church Stretton, the Long Mynd and Shropshire Hills are to hand (by car).

Leave ReviewLate autumn break in Shropshire..
By Anthony Thexton on 26-Oct-2025Once again we have enjoyed a beautiful and comfortable break in this lovely, warm and well equipped cottage. The setting is secluded, quiet and surrounded by nature. You will always have a nice welcome from the hosts Leena and Geoff and we intend to return.
Lovely cottage in a peaceful relaxing location.
By Anthony Thexton on 29-Aug-2025The cottage hosts live nearby and are friendly and helpful but don’t intrude. The location is surrounded by woods and hills and the cottage is so comfortable and equipped with everything you need. The beauty of this cottage is the surroundings of the beautiful Shropshire hills and the total peace.
Wonderful King Grove
By Peter on 25-Jul-2025WOW! What a place! What a stunning location! We were hoping for a secluded and peaceful stay and we got exactly that! We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and exploring the stunning Shropshire countryside. The walking trail at nearby Bury Ditches is ideal for a quick hike through woodland and to the top with panoramic views. Leena and Geoff couldn’t have been more friendly, hospitable and attentive during our stay :)) We will be making plans for a return trip :))
An absolute gem
By Lynne on 19-Aug-2025King Grove Barn is such a lovely place to stay - clean, cosy and comfortable. Leena and Geoff are very welcoming and have created a wonderful place to stay. The garden is beautiful and the terrace is a super place to sit and enjoy the peace, the birds and the wonderful night skies. They have created a tranquil haven that is wonderful to enjoy in itself as well as a base for exploring the fantastic walks and places to visit in this part of Shropshire, and further afield. They have set up the barn with so much thought and care, it's one of the nicest places I've stayed in and I hope to be back. Thank you both so much.
Third stay - need I say more.?
By Elizabeth and Brian Stannard on 14-Oct-2024An absolute treat of a place if tranquility and beauty is what you want. King Barn is perfect for a relaxing break .It is well equipped. warm and comfortable but the best part is that it is owned by Leena and Geoff who are perfect hosts. The surrounding area offers great and varied walking. castles, gardens and lovely characterful towns. Give it a try.
What a Find!
By The Stannards on 13-Oct-2024This is what we said after our first visit nearly four years ago. We have just completed our third stay at Kings Grove and it continues to tick all the boxes. To be able to stay in a beautiful location, no matter what the weather is like, is a real treat. Leena and Geoff are great hosts and provide a wealth of information about the area. as well as a comfortable place to spend your time doing as little or as much as you wish. Thank you .
