Cath from Nr Chippenham, United Kingdom;GB (Solo leisure traveller) 05 July 2006

Good, personal service, very helpful. |Lovely bright, light conservatory. Good pressure on shower and clean bathroom. the hotel is a product of its time, older furnishings, poor sound proofing, fairly basic .........it did the job which was providing an inexpensive B&B for a night. (3304923229)

positive comments The service, very friendly, helpful. Reading and relaxing in the conservatory.
negative comments Very noisy road outside and poor sound proofing indoors so every sound could be heard from corridors and nearby rooms.

stephen from nottingham, United Kingdom;GB (Solo business traveller) 17 June 2006

Service was very friendly and efficient. Cooked breakfast was very good with fast service and was excellent value. Weather was warm but staff had done a good job to get a breeze through the hotel public spaces and to keep the room cool. Double room was a good size. Back of the hotel was nice and quiet. (3304850896)

positive comments very helpfull staff
negative comments walls are a little thin and room doors bang shut too firmly.

negative comments Simple things like there was no remote for the TV. I couldn't find spare power sockets, so to boil the kettle you had to unplug the TV, and unplug the desk lamp to plug in my laptop.

A better location map would have helped and the room was rather poky. Breakfast just OK and only one overworked, though unfailingly polite, man on duty. (2953702)

positive comments Nothing specific, it was all OK though rather expensive for what it was
Excellent
Harro from Soest, Netherlands;NL (Solo leisure traveller) 29 November 2005

The hotel is in an old building which has retained its charm, but has been updated with all mod cons. Really well done. The staff provide excellent service and are amenable to requests (e.g. breakfast outside posted hours). (2856216)

positive comments Friendly staff, good atmosphere.
negative comments - beds could be larger (longer), even at my average build (1m80/6ft tall) it was cramped - sound insulation (from road noise) could be improved - an internet connection would be nice

The hotel was very easy to find. The staff were very nice showed us our room and left us to it without any hassle. The room was clean and tidy with a nice warm shower and the room wasn't too hot which I sometimes find in hotels. Breakfast the next morning was excellent. The parking was spacious too with lovely Gardens surrounding the hotel. (2905655)

positive comments The accomodation was very good. Simple and easy.
negative comments Could do with a proper reception desk.

David from Wymondham, United Kingdom;GB (Other) 30 October 2005

The hotel is situated on a main road which was quite noisy with teh windows open but was otherwise quiet. Once windows were closed traffic noise largely disappeared no other disturbances by passing youngsters etc (2798895)

negative comments Relatively limited parking if hotel were full.

Norrie from Cumbernauld, United Kingdom;GB (Solo business traveller) 27 October 2005

I've stayed in this hotel under previous ownership. The new management are keen to satisfy their customers and are kind and helpful. Parking is excellent and when asked information was promptly supplied. Due to roadworks I was held up and my arrival delayed. This presented no problem to the duty manager and I was met by every consieration. I use several hotels on my business circuits but the Grove excelled in client care. (2816395)

positive comments Clean, comfortable and private. Very restful. Staff very keen to please.
negative comments In room info eg what channels were on tv,and how to work shower, however these were not hindrances and did not detract from the care and comfort of the overall ambience.

The hotel is run by two brothers and the general ambience is quiet and dignified without being pretentious. The dining room particularly is Georgian and it has been modernised in a sympathetic manner. I think the only slight point to make is that guests arriving early e.g. I arrived at 12:00 noon, might not have eaten, and the owners wasted no time in arranging a light meal for me, which was excellent. However, if the chef comes on say at 1:00 pm or whenever, guests need to be aware of that fact beforehand in order to make the necessary arrangements. (2495472)

positive comments The room was comfortable, clean and well laid out. WEverything worked as expected.

negative comments cooked breakfast was a little sparse ,when we arrived we were not told what time breakfast was served or where the dining room was ,also the morning we checked out when we returned to our room after breakfast the water had been turned off it would have been nice to be warned

Edward from Crowborough, United Kingdom;GB (Mature couple) 18 September 2005

We spent two nights here whilst touring. We certainly recommend it. Service and food were faultless. Public rooms immaculate. Saw several bedrooms all comfortable and very clean. New owner is refurbishing some rooms and further developing Restaurant. A good base for those exploring Ironbridge and Coalbrookdale and the Hotel seems popular with Businness visitors (2682017)

positive comments Clean and comfortable
negative comments some bedrooms require refurbishment which is in hand

For our overnight stay the hotel was excellent. Nothing was to much trouble for the host and the evening meal and breakfast were more than enough.We enjoyed our late drinks in the conservetory before going to bed. (2680801)

The website photo gave the impression that the atrium would be used for breakfasts - Not used at all. The breakfast room was in fact in a beautiful room in side and this should be advertised. (2031391)

Darren from Knebworth, United Kingdom;GB (Solo business traveller) 31 March 2005

The hotel is well situated a few minutes from the centre of Wellington, a pleasant town with a few good pubs and restaurants around a market square. The hotel is well run with a personal service. Breakfast was of a good standard and one isn't kept waiting. My only concerns was that the only available room was previously occupied by smokers and as a non-smoker it was quite unpleasant. The smell of stale smoke is never a good one. The heating stayed on until the early hours which made the room very hot, although there is probably some way of controlling this. Overall I would rate this as a good hotel to stay at for business or short breaks. The friendly personal service is a credit to the hotel. (2075138)

positive comments Bathroom was great with lots of hot water. Really invigorating shower!
negative comments Only room available was for smokers, I found the smell unpleasant.
