Firgrove Country House

The following are some of our recommendations and plaudits

AA Hotel Services Inspection
14 May 2007 overnight visit

In terms of the new AA Quality Standards, Firgrove Country House has achieved a Four Star rating. The establishment will also have a B&B designation within the AA Guest Accommodation Scheme. Immaculately maintained throughout with a wealth of thoughtful extras to enhance the guest experience, Anna & Philip Meadway are to be congratulated for their high levels of customer care. Hospitality is natural and one feels like an honoured guest, rather than a paying customer. Services exceeded expectations for nature of business and breakfast quality continues to justify a recommendation for an award. It was also a pleasure to experience Anna's innovative skills at dinner, with clarity of flavours and cooking accuracy creating a memorable experience, for which a Dinner Award is also recommended. The exterior and grounds, with an abundance of wildlife, create an excellent first impression.

Cymru yn ei Blodau - 2006 - Wales in Bloom

A pleasure to visit this plantsman's garden. An excellent collection of trees and shrubs is beautifully presented and maintained. Firgrove came very close to being one of the prizewinners this year, and is fully deserving of a Merit Award. I look forward to further visits.

A Late-Georgian house of C1830. The low service wing to the north is said to have earlier origins, suggesting an earlier house on the site, and the rear elevation also looks earlier in character. Shown on the Tithe map of 1839, but possibly slightly shorter.The wing was extended and altered in the mid-C20; the house itself restored in the late 1970s Listed as a good late-georgian farmhouse (with possible earlier origins) in a prominent position, well detailed and retaining its character.
