The buildings are stunning and the volunteers are so friendly and knowledgeable. I've learnt so much more than just about the grotto. Its taken me over 20 years to visit but I'm so glad I did. My 10 year old loved it and kept wanting to go around again. Would highly recommend. · via Google [luciana alves](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/109311215343670439192/reviews) ★★★★★ An hidden gem! Loved it. Well worth a visit! · via Google [James Wilkinson](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/114702149784349796095/reviews) ★★★★★ Very intriguing little place staffed by friendly and knowledgeable volunteers. · via Google [Daren Kenward](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/109210885493488132685/reviews) ★★★★★ An interesting site hiding in between houses on a side road. The volunteers are knowledgeable, and torches are provided for the walk in the grotto. If you are claustrophobic, then the walk inside the grotto is not advisable. Don't miss the summer house. Parking is limited to on the street only. Allow 1 hour for your visit. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x48762708e6fd871f:0xf230f3e81ea27c82!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** 28/34 Scotts Road, Ware, SG12 9JQ [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=51.8065971%2C-0.0331620) **Category** Sightseeing & Attractions **Guest rating** 4.8 / 5 (172 reviews) **Suitable for** Ages 4+ **Setting** Indoor & outdoor **Good for children** Yes **Toilets on site** No **Destination** Ware [More attractions in Ware](https://staycation.co.uk/ware/attractions) ★ 4.8 (172 reviews) [Visit official website](https://www.scotts-grotto.org/?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=attraction) [01920 464131](tel:01920464131) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Ware **Postcode** SG12 9JQ **Plus Code** 9C3XRX48+JP [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x48762708e6fd871f:0xf230f3e81ea27c82!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x48762708e6fd871f:0xf230f3e81ea27c82!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x48762708e6fd871f:0xf230f3e81ea27c82!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near Ware Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
