Stayed here with a friend in May 2012. We were welcomed very warmly and given the choice of two rooms - both family rooms with a double and single bed. We chose room 3 - overlooking the terrace and river. It was very bright and comfortable - with 2 comfortable chairs to gaze out of the widnow, and a bathroom... More

We have been visiting the Grove Ferry for a few years now and have had some memorably bad experiences but finally this year, thanks to the "Yummy" team who have now taken over, this fantastic old building has finally got the TLC it deserves. We stayed over the week-end of the 28th April, which was one of the wettest this... More

We stayed over on the 21st April, a very special occasion for us and all our friends who came to enjoy it with us. What can we say - well we put a lot of demands on all the staff and the venue and what they delivered was just fantastic. Everyone had a great night, the food was so much... More

initial reaction was good; great location, handsome building. Rooms nice enough but with odd decor. Had to wait to check in with bar staff who seemed stretched as only 2 on duty on a saturday afternoon. Evening meal disappointing; 3 out of 4 of our first choice meals not available as was the bottle of wine. One pizza served raw... More
