“Great getaway in fabulous Pembrokeshire”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

A beautifully restored house near Narbeth, this is one of Pembrokeshires little known secrets: an oasis of civilisation amongst beautiful countryside. Our suite (JP Seddon) was large yet cosy with an enormous bed and well appointed bathroom including, suprisingly for the age of building, an excellent powershower alongside the roll top bath. There is still some building going on to extend the terrace and add some rooms but we were not disturbed. The food is important to them here and it was good, intersting and locally sourced if a little over-presented. An interesting and reasonably prcied wine list with lots by the glass is commendable. The portuguese boys in the dining room are efficient and charming, the cheese board stunning and the breakfast worthy of comment.

Dont forget to go to Narbeth for some lunchtime tapas at Ultracomida the relaxed deli combined with local eating spot- be prepared for a short cue for the communal tables and the rest of the tiny high street is full of interesting places to shop.

Room Tip: John Pollard Seddon suite in the main house is large, well apoointed and yet warm and cosy and the b...

“WONDERFUL HOTEL”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

I booked my stay on the telephone, and was informed that you can only stay 2 nights on a weekend but I was lucky as there was room available as it had been booked thursday/friday and sunday/monday so I was able to have a one night stay, we stayed in the Hanoi room, a very relaxing room done out in reds and greens. Do ask if you can have a one night stay as they will accomodate you if they can.

Nice staff, friendly and they were happy to show us other rooms incase we wanted to stay again, I would imagine that all the rooms are lovely.

We had a meal in the restaurant which was lovely, no complaints .

We went as a birthday treat for my husband and we were able to book an in room massage which was also excellent.

A wonderful hotel as a treat but quite expensive, but you do get what you pay for.

Room Tip: look on line and also ask when you telephone, some baths are stand alone others have showers over.

That said, if a room is booked on a sunday or friday but not the sat, we do try to be flexible for guests. I am pleased that we were able to do this for you. We hope to see you soon on your next trip to Pembrokeshire. Warmest regards, Neil, Zoe and the Team

“Slightly dissapointing”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

people found this review helpful

We stayed at The Grove as part of our honeymoon, early January.
We were a little disappointed that the lady who checked us in was from London and did not know much about Wales, a local welcome is far better!!
The suite was lovely, good quality furniture but the iron was burnt and I nearly ruined my clothes!
We were awoken the first morning by construction work right next to our room, it was 9am but for a 5 star hotel this shouldn't happen.
The breakfast lady was fantastic!! I've got to say she was the most welcoming member of staff there!
Wine was good served with some olives but the food was not to our liking, although very well presented.
As we left to pay they forgot that it's 40% off in January and tried to charge us the full price! It took them a while to realise this and to charge us the correct fee.
We then continued our honeymoon in York and stayed in a high quality hotel that knocked the socks off this one.
All in all a lovely place but overpriced and some local staff would be lovely.

Dear Guest,

Thank you for adding your feedback to Tripadvisor, it really is appreciated.

We are concerned to read your feedback and have discussed each point with the rest of the management team and would like to respond as follows.

Reception - Jade was the lady at Reception who checked you in. Jade is originally from London, but has been living and working in Pembrokeshire for 5 years. That said, we employ our staff on their experience and ability to do the job and not on where they are from.

Iron - Following your feedback the housekeeping team now check that irons stored in wardrobes before each new guest visit.

Construction work - We are very sorry that the work disturbed you during your stay. Currently we are extending the Grove on the far west side of the house which is largely out of sight from guests but of course at times this will make some level of noise. We continue to work closely with the different contractors to ensure that any noise disturbance is kept to a very minimum.

Breakfast - Alison our Breakfast Supervisor was delighted to read your feedback.

Food - Our Head Chef was disappointed that you didn't enjoy his style of food.

January Special – We want to make it clear that this wasn’t a malicious attempt to overcharge. However the booking was somewhat confused by the fact that you had a Romantic package during the January Special period. The reservations team that took your original booking made some basic errors in capturing how the booking was charged. Upon checkout this did confuse our Reception Manager Nina, who I believe corrected the rate for you. We have recently invested in a new Hotel Management System, which is currently being installed which will help our reception avoid similar problems in the future.

Overpriced – We continue to monitor our prices closely on a regional and national level to ensure they accurately reflect the quality that we are providing.

Thank you agin for your feedabck. We very much hope you choose us on your next trip to Pembrokeshire.

Warmest regards,
Neil, Zoe and the Team

“beautifully calm”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

just had my second stay at the grove. Their midweek deals are excellent and I got a room for not much more than a travelodge. I stayed on business and spent most of the evening in the warm and cosy bedroom working, but what a place to work.

My only criticism is that breakfast, which is amazing, needs to be tweaked so as to provide vegetarians with some savoury options. I have stayed here twice now and neither time did they have any vegetarian alternative to the welsh breakfast.

That said, it is as relaxing and luxurious place to stay as you will ever find and being so close to Narberth means you get some quirky shopping places just few minutes away. I love the shop with the large array of Hunters and Ren toiletries.

One day I will get to visit with my better half so show him this wonderful oasis in rural Pembrokeshire but they will need to get some veggie sausages first.

One day I will spend the weekend there with my partner
