We had a fantastic stay at The Grove Hotel and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we arrived, everything was beautifully presented and the staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive. The spa was excellent and a perfect place to relax, while the swimming pool was fantastic and a real highlight of our stay. We also loved the Turkish restaurant, which served delicious food in a great atmosphere. The whole hotel has a wonderful feel to it, combining luxury, comfort and excellent service. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend The Grove Hotel for a relaxing getaway.

The room was amazing in size and great that they can set it up for a family with young kids. I will say the roll out cot bed was deeply uncomfortable though! For the money you pay I would hope guests could use the beds by the kids swimming pool without having to pay extra. The food at this pool was also pretty bad. But elsewhere, such as the breakfast, was really good.

Beautiful place, conveniently located. We had a celebration and we were made to feel very special. Only one very disappointing experience at the Spa marred our stay. Hotel offered a free treatment but as we were leaving the next day it was of no use to us. They should have offered refund. All in all it was fun. Loved the lounge, the food at Madhu’s.

We stayed at The Grove in December 2025 with our toddler and had a wonderful experience. 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. We felt very well looked after and would absolutely return.

Great stay with family for fathers day. We ate at all of the restaurants, all were super, but the breakfast really must be the best I have ever had in the UK. Grounds and activities were all great too.
