Golf Estate in Hertfordshire
Pros:

We had a pleasant stay. Manor of Groves is a large estate with golf course large car park, swimming pool. Outside area to sit. The room was fine - WiFi good enough, bath and bathroom very nice, kettle- tea bags etc, TV with freeview channels. We did not have breakfast or any meals although did enjoy a drink outside. We walked to a local Indian - Chandinis which was good. As it was a heatwave we enjoyed use of the swimming pool. There are some nice walks in the area.

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

Excellent breakfast and parking

Staff disinterested, we even had to ask about breakfast arrangements. Room was too hot, towel radiator was always on, though there was a fan it just moved the hot air around.

Don’t book here
Pros:

Terrible experience at this hotel had an event which was poorly managed or not managed at all! Tried to complain and no response from the manager still to date. Spa in horrible condition and most things broken. Breakfast was embarrassing and no where to sit place falling apart . Caravans in car park with people living in them worst experience I have ever had for a party! Don’t book here unless you want disappointment

Terrible place
Pros:

Stayed at this hotel for a wedding reception on going in and looking up at the decorations in the entrance hall you can see loads on cobwebs where it obviously hasn’t been cleaned for a long time
The tablecloth’s we’re dirty
wire hanging from the beams where old decorations had been apparently the hall wasn’t set up correctly and had to be changed as per the previous meetings things were missing that had been promised but couldn’t be changed on the day conveniently there coordinator wasn’t there that day
The buffet was nice but taken away very quickly and didn’t even have any napkins even gave on person toilet roll to wipe his hands
the room was a good size but a bit tied
now the breakfast which was terrible first of all the plates were cold even though they were on a plate warmer that wasn’t switched on chairs in front of the buffet which people have to lean over and the food was nearly cold
the staff more interested in standing around talking to each other then doing something all in all we would never stay there again and would not recommend it to anyone
