Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the beautiful decor and ample rooms at The Grove, with some even enjoying upgrades to king rooms. The location is ideal, with just a short walk into the town centre and across from Pannett Park. Shared fridges on the landings, stocked with fresh milk and water, are a much-appreciated touch, and the breakfast, especially the Full English and scrambled egg with smoked salmon, receives rave reviews; a few guests, however, mentioned issues with shower pressure. Free parking adds significant value to the stay.

small room weak shower
the room size was quite underwhelming. it reminded me of a double bed was crammed into a single room. there were no cupboards for clothes, a real inconvenience for a stay longer than one night. also, the water pressure in the shower was annoyingly weak (i almost felt cleaner before i showered) and there was no hot water on the last morning.

delicious breakfast fresh milk rear parking poor shower small towels plastic bed
The breakfast was amazing!!! It included many options. The hosts provided fresh milk and bottled water in a shared fridge. Parking at the rear of the hotel was useful.
The shower lacked power and did not get very hot. The towels were small. I was like the bed had plastic under the covers.

small room missing chair
The location offered proximity to a nice park. The hosts were friendly. The room was comfortable.
The room size proved smaller than I anticipated for the price. There was no chair in the room. This absence meant sitting on the bed or going to the landing to avoid it.
