The Best Spas in the U.S. & Around the World: 2023 Readers’ Choice Awards

"A dream five-star retreat, The Grove, once home to the Earls of Clarendon, is close to London (just 18 miles) but feels plenty far away, amid 300 acres of Hertfordshire countryside. The grounds are gorgeous, from the Walled Garden to the picturesque woodlands—you can take bikes or Segways along forest trails, and there are three pools, the most exciting of which has to be the black mosaic-tiled one in the expansive Sequoia Spa. The Grove caters to families with plenty of kid activities, has two great restaurants, and is also good for a golf weekend away (there’s an 18-hole course here, too). The rooms are cleverly restored, with light textures, massive comfy beds, open baths, and luxurious soft furnishings alongside Espa toiletries. You won’t be disappointed whichever room you stay in. Then there’s the afternoon tea, which is decadent and delightful and not to be missed." - CNT Editors

**Exceptional Service from Debbie That Transformed Our Stay** Our stay at this five-star hotel was made truly unforgettable thanks to the exceptional service provided by Debbie, the Front Office Manager. When I encountered an issue, she responded with remarkable professionalism and empathy. Despite the hotel being fully booked, she took immediate action to address my concerns. Her understanding and kindness were evident as she made every effort to ensure our comfort. Debbie’s commitment to excellence turned our experience around completely. We left with nothing but fond memories, grateful for her outstanding hospitality. This level of service is rare and deserves commendation. Thanks again Debbie!

I visited The Grove for the Feast on Cloud 9 and what an incredible experience it was. The grounds are absolutely stunning and all staff are friendly and informative. The experience itself was wonderful and the hot air balloons are a must. Our waiter explained the food in depth which was delicious, they took our photos and kept our tea re-filled. They offer blankets for colder periods which was welcomed and the whole experience was relaxing and great fun. Thank you very much.

We had an amazing long weekend at the Grove as a family to celebrate a special event.||We had 2 connecting rooms, which we always look for if available. The decor and view were nothing special, but having connecting rooms makes family stays so much more comfortable.||The incredible buffet at the Glasshouse managed to live up to the very high expectations. It is expensive, but everything is great quality and there is a lot of variety. Very good service, which is essential with a buffet. The breakfast buffet was also very impressive. We did not enjoy our dinner at Madhu's as much, as although very nice, a lot of the food was a bit too spicy for our taste, and way too spicy for our children. We also had a meal at the Stables, which we all enjoyed a lot: cosy atmosphere and lovely food.||At first I was disappointed that there was a separate kids and adult pool, as we've found some kids pools to be quite unpleasant to sit in to supervise. But this pool was better than expected, with windows which made it more pleasant. It wasn't too crowded when we went, which was good as it is not that large. And of course this means the spa pool is adults only and very calm.||We went in February, so did not get to make the full use of the grounds as you would in warmer, sunnier weather. The outdoor pool area in particular looked very nice. But we did have a nice walk in the grounds on one day and then a great cycle ride the next. It was a short circuit, but quite lovely and varied, through woods and along a canal. We also enjoyed family games of air hockey and table football in the charming kids "potting shed".||All in all a great weekend getaway very close to London.

Absolutely loved the buffet at the Grove hotel 🤩 Normally when you go to buffet you get quantity and not quality but wow we were very pleasantly surprised by the good quality of the food. The flavours were so good and presentation was amazing as well! Starters were superb and refreshing, absolutely love the sashimi sushi and pickled artichokes etc was so yummy 🤤 Main you had a great selection and everything we tried was really good ! Dessert was tasty and pretty , what else can we ask for? Really enjoyed my time there and will definitely be back again ❤️

The buffet is just delicious. The room was amazing, lovely and clean, the bed was very comfortable, a great place to stay. The wedding I attended here was fantastic! Food / service / everything was amazing! Highly recommend!

We stayed one night in mansion rooms for our 20th wedding anniversary. |Room 16 |We have been fortunate to stay here many times over the last10 years plus with and without kids. |The welcome is always very good from the valet luggage guys |Checked in by Kespar and I can say he was excellent in fact the best, friendliest welcome we have ever had staying at the hotel.|He show us to the room and was very engaging we both said how good he was ! You know sometimes at a 5 star hotel the welcome is cold and too professional and the balance is off, the Grove gets this balance right and Kespar perfect . |The room was very nice we normally have a deluxe room but if just the 2 of us will definitely always stay in the mansion house .|The air conditioning was temperamental but we was told this could be overridden and the thermostat in the shower will possibly need replacing which we told the front desk on check out but free mini bar and ice cream is and nice touch |Over all we liked the room very calm and relaxing.|Lunch at the stables which was ok, service a little slow but staff were friendly. |Spa pool nice as always and the wall garden area we love at this hotel, grounds are always beautiful. |Dinner at Madhus which was pretty good, tables were very small and felt too close to the next table. |Staff were very good and the restaurant had been renovated since last time and was better but I remember the food being more stand out before but a nice meal . |Cocktails in bar very nice the Grove old fashioned is very good I think it would be better with 1 large ice cube but still loved it. |Breakfast was excellent and massive improvement the bacon and sausage cooked over the coals were outstanding. |Sometimes breakfast at any hotel, especially the glasshouse feel a little bit stressful and chaotic at busy times but this time it was much better. |One criticism is the coffee is not great basic bean to cup I would rather wait longer and get a great coffee or at least good filter coffee . |We loved this hotel it has a special place in our and our kids hearts. |20 year anniversary could’ve gone to the Corinthia , Hamyard but was alway going to choose the Grove and they didn’t disappoint may us feel very special ! Every time we stay here we are left wanting more which is a good sign, easily spend 3 days plus here . |I think there has been many positive improvements since our last visit it’s a amazing place for couples but also family’s |Keep up the good work guys we love it here

3 stars given as an average of our experience.|Paid for the Feast on cloud 9 afternoon tea experience.|Setting and location - 5/5 |Food - 1/5|The cakes and sandwiches were so dry, like they’d been sat out for a while. |The icing on the cakes had virtually no taste.|No tap water? We could only buy a bottle - strange.|We had great service and the waiting staff were polite.|Overall, the experience was lovely but the food didn’t match up to the stunning location and expectations for the price paid.

Went here with my family on Feast on Cloud 9 and it was an amazing experience. The food was good and was presented beautifully and the view was amazing. Sarah, attended us and she was really kind and sweet, making this experience extra special for our daughters as well. This is a really nice experience especially if you are celebrating any special occasion
