The Grove *****
🎢 A 5-star staycation that mixes Downton Abbey–style manor vibes with a full-blown outdoor playground. The Sequoia spa goes full black-pool hypnosis, with top-tier treatments and a 22-metre swim. Outside: a tournament-ready 18-hole course, a heated outdoor pool, tennis, cycling trails, woodland paths and a walled garden where everything’s in its place. And on the food front: the tried-and-tested Glasshouse buffet, The Stables gastropub set in the old stables and Madhu’s Indian plates you really shouldn’t skip.
We had a lovely time
Nice hotel and facilities. But lots of families. Could hear children in the hallways/rooms next door. Pool full of loud children. Food was nice, fresh and high quality, but breakfast was carnage. A bit overpriced.
We had a good experience at the grove and top class massages.
An opportunity to enjoy a wonderful experience at a price that becomes affordable thanks to Staycation
