Hotel tops the list for value

THE Grove hotel in Narberth in Pembrokeshire has topped the list of the Best Value five-star hotels in the UK and Ireland, beating hotels in capital cities London and Dublin.

The hotel hit the top spot of a tenstrong list which resulted from a study by luggage store app Bounce, and had a total – at time of publishing – of 96.41% of ‘very good’ and ‘excellent’ reviews, scoring an impressive 8.98/10 with its customers.

Costing an average of £291.45 per night, guests can expect cosy and beautifully decorated bedrooms, award-winning restaurants and a warm welcome into a relaxing and luxurious haven.

This isn’t the first accolade the gorgeous hotel, which dates back to the 15th century, has received this year either. In July of this year the luxury stay was named the best Independent Hotel of the Year at the prestigious Catey Awards after being shortlisted in the category in 2017 and 2020.

And it’s not hard to see why. The hotel is located just a 15-minute drive from the coast and overlooks the town of Narberth and the Preseli Mountains. It is gorgeously nestled within 26 acres of grounds made up of woodland, well-kept lawns and gardens and is surrounded by meadows. If the gardens weren’t enough to entice you, it is set on a sprawling country house estate that is steeped in history, with parts of it dating back to as early as the 15th century.

Made up of 26 rooms in total, guests can stay in the main building as well as cottages dotted around the grounds.

The Grove of Narberth slid in front of London’s boutique Batty Langeley’s hotel – which has 96.81% of reviewers raving about it with a 8.27/10 rating for its plush furnishings and dramatic aesthetics – and Dublin’s The Marker Hotel which, at £290 a night, had 94.25% of reviews confirming they were ‘very good’ or ‘excellent’ with a rating of 7.96/10.
