About The Grove

Set in 300 acres of parkland and landscaped gardens, the former home of the Earls of Clarendon has been sympathetically restored and stunningly recreated. Blending the classic with the contemporary, The Grove is now a luxurious hotel with 227 light, warm and welcoming guest rooms and suites.

Outside, a championship golf course winds through parklands, while the former stable block has been transformed into a beautiful spa and health and leisure club called Sequoia. Here, guests can choose from the striking black mosaic indoor pool, the contemporary exercise studio or the serenity of one of the treatment rooms.
