Designing for Heritage
Won in competition, The Grove was one of the first of a new breed of sophisticated country house hotels. The Grade II* Listed mansion, set in over 300 acres of Green Belt parkland, has 227 suites and guestrooms housed in a new wing, three restaurants and a 500 seat banquet and conferencing facility.
The house, previously in a state of serious neglect, has been fully restored and reconfigured along with the reinstatement of a three acre formal garden. The Grade II Listed stable block houses a luxury health club with an indoor ozone pool and spa, fully equipped gym, dance studio and treatment rooms.
