A small lane passes the old Castle House and Castle Cottage leading up to Grosmont Castle - the cottage sits beside the main house and has its own entrance and is totally self-contained. The pretty village of Grosmont on the borders of The Golden Valley and The Black Mountains still retains its village shop and The Angel a friendly village pub serving good food; the village also still retains its market place, market hall and the large parish church dating from the 12th century. Part of the church was built by Edmund for his mother, Queen Eleanor, the wife of Henry III. Within its wall are the much eroded remains of an effigy of a twelfth century knight. Grosmont Castle dates from approximately 1300's and is a remarkably well preserved Marcher Castle, along with Skenfrith and White Castle and is a fascinating place to visit.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the chosen cottage. It was cosy and met all of our needs, and we found the owners friendly, welcoming and very receptive to answering any queries we had. We would certainly go there again.
