The Grove certainly isn’t limited when it comes to allure. Aside from the beautiful countryside settings, the main reasons to sway you include the golf and spa. Families in particular are spoiled in the range of activities for kids.
Stay at The Grove
Classic meets contemporary at this 300-acre oasis. Circled by verdant landscapes, suites are spread in a historic manor house. This preserves a bygone era of glamour and luxury, alongside all the creature comforts you’d typically yearn for.Drop the kids off at the club first thing and hit the spa, where a sultry mosaic pool lays in wait. Enjoy afternoon tea in a private lounge with your beloved, then reunite with the little ones for an adventure through woodland trails. Dinner is served in a glasshouse beside live cooking stations, paving the way for family time.
Location
Nestled less than 30 minutes by car from both Heathrow and Luton airports, this country escape near Watford is ideal for long weekends. It’s also within easy reach of London. In fact, there’s a tube station just a 10-minute drive away.
