What guests think

Across recent reviews, Manor Of Groves Hotel, Golf & Health Club earns praise for its spacious grounds and leisure club, but many guests report dated rooms, patchy maintenance, staffing shortfalls, and operational hiccups that affect comfort, reliability, and value.

The pool, steam room, and gym are frequently highlighted, though outages and classes sometimes limit access. Rooms are often large but feel tired, with recurring problems around showers, locks, temperature control, and weak Wi-Fi or mobile signal. Dining feedback is mixed, with several reports of lukewarm breakfasts and limited menus alongside some strong dinners and friendly service. Good for a budget-minded break with strong leisure access, less so if you want modern rooms and seamless operations.

Facilities

Leisure facilities—pool, steam room, sauna, jacuzzi, and gym—are a major plus and widely used. However, outages (e.g., steam/jacuzzi), scruffy finish in places, and fitness classes limiting pool time are recurring frustrations.

Overall a nice stay with helpful staff. A few improvements needed 1) temperature control in room 2) a bottle of water in room 3) don’t allow fitness class to dominate whole pool, preventing guests use of it

Has a feeling of space especially with golf course. A country hotel. Good facilities- swimming pool , Turkish bath, sauna (at minute jacuzzi not working). WiFi good and TV with freeview channels. Nice bathroom with tub. Did not eat at hotel - walked to an Indian restaurant at the edge of the driveway to the hotel. There is now a coffee shop next to the Indian as well.

Otherwise the facilities were good, the health club was great.

Two single beds pushed together to form a double isn't ideal. The room smelled of urine and the bathroom had an unpleasant odour. The shower was either off or scalding hot and no amount of fiddling with the dial or waiting seemed to help. We had to have baths in the smelly bathroom in the end just to get ready to leave. Not great.

Disappointing Experience Despite Promising Exterior The hotel looks appealing from the outside, but the service and amenities were a letdown. Despite requesting a quiet room, we were placed facing the carpark — and it wasn’t even busy, so accommodating us should’ve been possible. The check-in staff claimed all rooms had great views, which was clearly not the case. Bar service was equally poor. Staff lacked basic customer service skills — no greeting, no smile, and dismissive responses when asked about whisky options or the menu. The room itself was mediocre: broken furniture, a missing drawer, and dirty curtains. The only redeeming features were the pool and steam room. Breakfast was chaotic — a single broken two-slice toaster for the entire restaurant, with staff showing little concern as guests queued in confusion. Overall, the service was appalling and far below acceptable standards.

On the hottest day of the year to have no air conditioning and only a small fan makes for the price of the room seemingly overpriced. The gym, steam and sauna area had only one shower toilet and sink in a lockable room, so if occupied there's no other option but to walk back to your room. The food and location was lovely and the staff were friendly but a shame the facilities don't quite match that.

Breakfast and Dinner was really good and parking was great. However i was very disappointed as the shower did not work as there was very little (a small drip) room 22 and i was then moved to a new room ( room 11)straight away. However, when I went to have a shower in the morning in the new room the shower temperature was either too hot or too cold and i could not have a decent shower for my meeting..

Was advertised as having a lift, but it didnt work. And had to go up very steep stairs to our room. Im disabled. And wasnt offered assistance with luggage. Also, x4 disabled bays x3 of which taken by cars without a disabled badge! Illegal!...raised it with reception & no one did anything about it. When we got to our room, we only had one large towel & yried calling reception on the room phone, but it didnt work!...my partner went down to request one, but we didnt get it for at least a couple of hours, so had to share one after our showers before going out for dinner. They also had very loud music playing right outside our room, though when i told them, they did turn it off.

Nice location, grounds, spa/pool facilities, restaurant. A number of issues let it down. Postcode given in sat nav leads along very narrow country lanes to rear of hotel with no easy way back round to the front. Electricity in room didn't work. Suspect faulty circuit breaker but staff wouldn't confirm. After repair, key card didn't work. Back to reception again for replacement. Rain leaking into foyer and into lift shaft. Noisy room from compressor (bar cooler?). Noise from music testing in events space at 7am! No safe box in room.

When you go to drive into the hotel they need to have extra lightening to drive through the grounds and sign post at the entrance to guide you to reception as it is very dark. It's alright during the day. Breakfast could do with being hotter as it was Luke warm. Rooms needed to have tissues.

Restaurant could do with updating there menu, very little choice, we had to get a delivery one night, online bar menu says different to the one in the actual hotel, very little choice on that as well.

Firstly this is a beautiful venue and could be a fantastic hotel BUT... Reception, bar, 'restaurant' was more reminiscent of Holiday Inn Express. But even HIE have fully trained staff. Trays of used plates and glasses left out on tables all evening, food arrived but no cutlery, condiments etc. Reception staff couldn't help young lad trying to run the bar who admitted he had no training. Breakfast was mainly cold. Noise from kitchens and restaurant disturbed us all around the building but especially in bathroom of room 302!

An lovely looking old hotel with modern additions. Creaking stairs lead to a lovely large room. Even though it was frosty outside the radiators were set to max. The room and especially the bathroom were stiflingly hot, opening the windows just made the sound of the planes landing at Stanstead even louder. Breakfast was the usual luke warm pans of beans, eggs and meat, options for vegetarians and dietary requirements limited.

On arriving in room there was loud dance music coming from the very close health club ( i could make out the words), when i spoke to reception io was told it would be overy by about 8pm - not to much of an issue as i wanted to eat. Next morning at 7am though was an issue, woke up
