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.

The facilities at The Grove are lovely, but unfortunately that’s where the positives ended for me. 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.

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.

Have stayed many times at The Grove but it’s been on the decline for the last 12 months or so with this visit being very sub-par. Rooms weren’t serviced properly, activities for children were awful and the once fantastic Glass House buffet felt tired. Won’t be rushing back any time soon. Many people we encountered felt the same.
