Idyllic getaway

Reception staff were very welcoming and accommodating. As a solo traveller I felt safe and comfortable, well looked after and included. Rooms were exceptional, well maintained, clean and comfortable. They always asked if needed anything and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was cooked to perfection and you could have as much as you wanted. I would definitely recommend this hotel for adults only and shall return. Two great lounges which were roomy, pleasant and relaxing. One has a pool table, one has a book loan area and bith have tv's.

I stayed for Easter 2025 with my Aunt and we had a lovely time. The hotel is central to walk to the beach and shopping centre and the bus stop to get around outside. The staff are exceptional and supportive. The room was spacious and very clean The Breakfast is full English and it was a great start to our day. The hotel is set in beautiful gardens and we will return Such value for money

Hidden Gem

What a lovely hidden gem this is! Ideal location in East Cliff but surprisingly quiet, I slept very well indeed. Loved my sunny room. Everything in the hotel is spotless. Thank you to Roberto for making me feel welcome and ensuring I had everything I needed. I usually stay in a Premier Inn but I will be back to the Grove. Only downside is very limited on-site parking, but there is free on-street parking (after 5pm) on Gervis Road for example.

Pros: Old-world charm. Spacious room. Plentiful common areas, including a bar, pool table, and an outside patio. Convenient location: 10-minute walk to town/sea, 15- to 20-minute walk from the train station. Kind and friendly staff. Generous VIP benefits. Good value. Cons: Some windows face the street so awkward to open the curtains. Small bathroom. Wifi not password protected (but requires frequent acceptance of terms of use).

A good hotel

We had an enjoyable stay particularly as all the staff were very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately they did not provide evening meals however there are plenty of places to eat in walking distance. Breakfast was a delight. If we decide to visit the area again in the future this hotel would be on our list of places to stay.

Great hotel with friendly staff.

We arrived to be greated by a friendly and helpful receptionist. The room was comfortable and clean. The shower was hot and easy to use. The heating was on all night which made it to warm for us but we found a fan in the morning inside the cupboard which would have made this better. Breakfast was brilliant and tasty. Highly recommend this hotel. We will be returning...
