Activity breaks in Hertfordshire

Why is The Grove 5 star hotel so good for an active break?

There’s so much to do here, you can be busy for several days and never do the same thing twice! Go and explore our 300 acres of beautiful parkland and canal… walk, run or cycle (borrow a bike for free). Play tennis on the courts in our Walled Garden and swim in the open air pool. Play a round of golf on our 18-hole Championship course.

Inside, it’s just as good. Enjoy our award-winning luxury Sequoia Spa: go swimming, use the gym, work out in classes and then treat your muscles to ESPA treatments.

What about rooms?

We’d recommend booking a room in our contemporary West Wing, which is very handy for our Spa and Golf Quarters. You have a choice of two types of room – all with lots of space and fab amenities. Choose a Deluxe Room for a view of the course greens. 

Where would be good places to eat?

The Glasshouse Bar and Restaurant has a buzzy and fast-paced atmosphere and serves a fantastic range of fresh buffet food, all prepared in our ‘theatre’ kitchen.

The Stables Bar and Restaurant offer something different. Away from the main part of the hotel, overlooking the Golf course, there’s a sports bar with a giant plasma screen TV. Enjoy gastro pub-style food in the Restaurant – all with a gorgeous Grove twist.

Picnics We’ve carefully chosen several idyllic spots for the perfect picnic in our beautiful 300-acre Estate in Hertfordshire … up and down dale, beside rivers and trees. We’ll run you out there in a golf buggy, serve up a fabulous feast in a hamper – and leave you to it. Laze around in the sun on a rug, enjoy wonderful views and beautiful food and wine.
