The hotel felt magical at Christmas, beautifully decorated, warm and welcoming throughout. Our room was spacious, spotless, and well set up for a family stay, which made everything feel easy and relaxed. The staff were exceptional: genuinely friendly, attentive, and especially thoughtful with our little one. Dining was excellent, with great options and flexibility for families, and the grounds were stunning even in winter, perfect for walks. A truly luxurious but family-friendly hotel.

It’s unfortunate that most of their summer events & special dining experience are all in late July/august, so we didn’t get a chance to experience them. Loved the variety of activities & the stunning grounds. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. The hotel is a big events space and thus loses the charm of a country escape, and keeps a more corporate feel. ##### Zainah Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ros 23 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely spa weekend break.

On my first night, after eating a carpaccio at the Stables restaurant, I suffered from food poisoning. I reported this to the hotel, expecting at least some basic care or concern. Instead, I was largely ignored. To be clear - we spent the entire day at the Grove and all food consumed was from its restaurants. The carpaccio was the only thing that wasn't shared between my party, and therefore is obviously the culprit. No one checked in on me, no support was offered, and there was no sense of being looked after at all. The only response was what felt like a self serving “investigation”, which seemed far more about protecting the hotel than caring for a guest who had become ill on their premises. (Surprise surprise - the investigation concluded in the hotel being fault-less). It's now been 3 days and I am still waiting to hear from management, who are bizarrely uninterested. When something goes wrong, how a hotel responds matters just as much as the facilities themselves. In this case, the lack of empathy and care turned what could have been an unfortunate but manageable incident into a genuinely poor experience. Given the reputation and price point of The Grove, this was deeply disappointing. ##### Alon Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anthony 22 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Golf course was great! ##### Anthony Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leanne 24 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beat hotel Amazing hotel, the staff are amazing and the food at the glasshouse is incredible. ##### Leanne Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 10 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Lovely hotel location, excellent staff, food was unreal everything about our stay was amazing.
