A lovely hotel, simple and clean
Pros:

It was immaculate. Such a lovely surprise to find an historic hotel right in the middle of town. I loved the pine trees in the garden. Fantastic breakfast. Excellent staff. Great to have a bar and pool table!

Cons:

Nescafé sachets in the rooms are just awful. I love a morning coffee but wouldn’t drink that.
No hairdryer in the room, and the extractor fan in the bathroom didn’t work, despite me being shown the switch, then putting into ‘on’.
The bed was quite short, which I wasn’t expecting. The mattress isn’t flat, and sagged on the right hand side of the bed. (Rm 29)

Excellent hotel. Well worth a visit
Pros:

Pleasantly surprised by this little gem of a hotel. The staff were very friendly and welcoming from the time we arrived until we checked out. We'd requested a quiet room, which it was. Clean, comfortable with modern facilities and a lovely bathroom. The reception and bar were available 24hours. Lovely breakfast.
Five minutes walk to Bournemouth Pavilion.
I'd thoroughly recommend a stay at The Grove. Excellent value for money. We'll definitely be making a return visit.

Cons:

Nothing. The hotel was excellent

Hotel was ok, but lacked basic expected facilities.
Pros:

Bed comfortable. It was clean enough.
Shower was decent power.
Reception staff friendly.

Cons:

No breakfast available even though it was referenced on here as a British or Irish breakfast option available. I would not have booked this hotel if I’d known there was no breakfast option.
Also location was up a dark side street. Didn’t feel great from a safety perspective.
