"Historic mansion house with cutting-edge features, set in rolling countryside."
Overview
Set amid 300 acres of rolling countryside, much of which is golf course, The Grove combines historic features with cutting-edge, modern design. The spacious bedrooms have the latest in temperature control, lighting technology and smart TVs; many also have balconies. Suites in the original mansion are particularly stunning. Championship golf, a world-class spa, extensive crèche facilities and family activities are available. Meals can be enjoyed in The Stables, The Glasshouse, Skewd or Madhu's. The walled garden is also well worth exploring.

About the area
As Hertfordshire is so close to London, many of its towns have become commuter havens. St Albans, less than 19 miles (30km) from the capital, has retained its distinctive character, along with many historic remains.
