It is a relatively good resort hotel. The hotel has been newly renovated. The internal structure can still be seen as an old building. The hotel is clean and beautiful. You can drive there by yourself or take a taxi.

One of the best hotels I've been to! I went because I was attracted to the spa, but I came out because I fell in love with other activities. Outdoor swimming is great, including tennis and golf.

Our stay at The Grove was truly memorable. The grounds are absolutely spectacular – perfect for long walks, relaxation, and simply resetting. The buffets and on-site restaurants were amazing, offering plenty of variety and top-quality dining. We were mainly there for Football Escapes, and despite the hotel being very busy, we were still well looked after. It is certainly an expensive place, but worth the experience for the level of service, the stunning property, and the overall atmosphere that balances luxury and relaxation. All in all, a wonderful stay, and one we’d happily return to!

First time I have ever booked Feast on Cloud 9 at The Grove Hotel. Stunning setting, fantastic food and outstanding service. Would highly recommend. Will definitely book again.

I have stayed at The Grove a few times as I live in London. I have always enjoyed the stay. However, this year I can see that standards have dropped. The rooms are looking tired and it is clear they are trying to cut costs which massively takes away from the guest experience. The biggest cuts are clearly on the staff side as the service was very poor. The service is no longer what it was. The staff are now mostly brought in from abroad and are very rude (perhaps unintended as they don’t speak English very well and don’t understand local etiquette). For example, we had a drink at the outdoor terrace by the main restaurant and were asked if we wanted another drink. We said not yet, and were then presented with a bill and rudely asked to pay and move on. We were not drunk or loud. We were with a ten year old. The terrace area wasn’t even busy. It was very embarrassing and I was offended. Overall, a very disappointing stay. I would no longer recommend this hotel nor would I stay here again. There are much better hotels out there in this price range.

I am at a wedding held at The Grove. Venue is great but it appears that the free bar is being manipulated by the hotel. I have sat and watched waiters take glasses off tables that are full the minute people get up to dance forcing people to order more drinks from the bar! It’s very disappointing to see in this his sort of hotel.
