Classic Lodges - Grovefield House Hotel, Windsor - Maidenhead

First let me say the the staff at Grovefield is exceptional and quite accomodating. There is absolutely the feel of a lovely country home.

there was a wedding in progress when we arrived and use of the bar facilities for entertaining our friends later that evening seemed to be a bit uncomfortable as we did not wish to interfere with the wedding party so we went to a nearby pub, not sure we would have really enjoyed using the facilities if we were there on our own, All other aspects of […] our stay including breakfast the following morning were great Read more

It is an older building in the country. WiFi is very weak. Has a restaurant and really nothing else. The shower didn't work...no cold water. They fixed it and then the water temp was a little better than Luke warm. The water dIdn't draining the shower/tub so I was standing in about 8" of water at the end of showering. The area is beautiful and very […] quiet. You definitely have to leave the hotel for any activity. The staff was wonderful in dealing with the issues. There was a wonderful country pub in the area called the Jolly Woodman. Live jazz music on Monday nights. Read more

All I knew about the hotel was that it was close to our friends in Windsor and we needed to stay one night. We enjoyed the hotel, especially the English breakfast and the lamb at dinner, that we stayed another night.

Nice hotel spoilt by poor food. Bar food (chicken club) and breakfast (full English) were both excessively greasy. Whilst I appreciate these dishes are inherently on the calorific side, all ingredients were languishing in grease, as if they had been cooked earlier and then brought back to life. Not the first time I've had the same experience at Grovefield […] either which suggests this is the norm. Read more

Good hotel with comforatable rooms and above average food. Staff and service are variable; on this stay there were the better staff ( eg Emma at reception is professional, knows her job and wants to help). On other visists staff have been characterless, over casual and unmotivated.

13/10/2012: Hotel and room very clean and tidy. Reception staff very helpful with arranging early check in. Breakfast was OK - selection of food was fine but staff not very attentive and plates not warmed. They had a wedding fair on the day we checked out and I think that was on their mind more than looking after guests. I would stay here again.

The hotel room was very nice, clean and warm and generally as expected. However, the staff and service fell short of our expectation, everything was adequate but nothing more.

Beautiful country location but convenient for business and leisure in Thames valley.

Lovely room, nice breakfast included. Great location for Windsor and London.

I was there as part of a wedding party. From the start the staff were unhelpful - the receptionist was bordering on hostile, demanding my credit card so she could charge £25 worth of extras! The food at the wedding reception was ok, but the service again was hostile - taking plates before we had finished eating and so on - but breakfast was a bit hit […] and miss - the eggs and sausages were undercooked! As for the wedding party - several complaints have been put in about the hotel for the manager to deal with! Overall very disappointing! Read more

The hotel and staff were fine but we were kept awake all night due to the banging of doors on other guest's rooms. These doors need damping somehow so they close more gently.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

No air conditioning and a bit noisy due to a private function going on until 01.00. Food was good with an excellent breakfast.

Pleasant country hotel.in a nice location.Helpfull staff and comfy rooms.

Genuine Expedia guest review

staff excellent. HOWEVER bedroom doors do not close quietly and we were woken up on more than 1 occasion due to people talking outside their rooms and then letting the bedroom door slam shut(hence marking room with a 2). We did ask for a quiet room but were put next to the lift and were aware on its use and of the boiler humming near to it. The duty […] manager on Sunday 3rd June said she would get the General Manager to contact us on Wednesday 6th June BUT we're still waiting. Breakfast and dinner were excellent especially as the breakfast waiter was all on his own on 2 of the 3 days. Read more

Lovely room, great grounds, a free wifi was a bonus. The bar had little atmosphere and the restaurant was a bit old fashioned for my taste - being on business I didn't want a fussy 3-course meal, and it was fairly expensive too, but the room service was good standard and there's a supermarket a short drive away for refreshments. Would definitely stay […] here again, but probably stick to room service. Read more

I was not happy,to be told the day before they BUMPED me to another hotel.....NEVER HAPPEN TO ME IN "25 years of staying in hotels.. The hotel blamed the booking company,,,, Dont know who is unorganised,,,,,,..

We stayed while a wedding and evening disco was in progress! Usually we hear every beat of the occasion. However, here the hotel managed very well to contain this event for the non-wedding goer. We were placed in a quiet room away from the action so were left undisturbed. Well done them!

Lovely hotel with great food and exceptionally helpful staff, will definitely be back when we are in the area.

Grovefield is marketed as a top end hotel; rooms gardens and indeed quality of the food matches that aim. The problem is the staff. They are on the whole pleasant and willing enough if a touch casual and familar but their sense of service and training is sadly lacking. For example the receptionist acts as if she is reading from a script with no entuisiasm […] or sense that she means what she is saying and if you ask anything off-script there is a blank look. For example the resaurant staff have no knowledge of the wine list and cannot explain the menu. Finally, the bar area is like a pub; jangle music in the background and the television on in the corner - and you keep having to go to find a member of staff. Grovefield needs to decide what market it is aiming at - for the current price it doesnt meet the standard it is purporting to offer. Read more

Was in the area on business and hoped to find somewhere quiet with a restaurant. Our room was on the top floor overlooking the vast garden and as the hotel is off the road (also not very busy) was quiet apart from the planes but you cant get away from those in this part of the world! Rooms on this floor have dormer windows therefore my tall partner […] had a couple of bumps to the head but soon learnt and the fact it was so quiet made up for it. Restaurant looked very appealing and was the reason we booked. Menu read extremely well, however starter was huge disappointment - foie gras pate was obviously not home-made which was a shame as the main course (venison) was incredible. We travel all over Europe through our work, and sometimes find it hard to enjoy food in the UK, but the venison was one of the best meals I have had in the last year! The chef is obviously talented so it was a shame to cut corners (or more likely costs) by buying in something that is not difficult to make. Fantastic wine choice, my short list of two was decided by our waitress and was extremely good. Staff very plesant and the lovely Italian man at breakfast was a breath of fresh air and a real assett to the hotel - I hope they appreciate him. Slightly disappointed that smoked haddock had 20 minute wait which meant we didnt have time for it, and scrambled egg alternative not great (again I suspect it was hotel supply pre-mix) However I agree with another reviewer that its lovely to have a breakfast cooked to order these days rather than awful buffet food thats been hanging around for hours. But all in all a very good choice and we would definatley stay again. Would just check when eating in restaurant what the chef recommends. Looking forward to returning. Read more

Lovely staff, friendly and attentive but not obsequious. Room was very quiet and comfortable, no traffic noise. Grounds were attractive, plenty of free car parking space. I decided to try the restaurant. For once, I liked the look of almost everything on there. It was really good contemporary cooking, beautifully presented, with intense flavours and […] excellent balance. Sort of thing I'd expect in a decent fine dining restaurant at twice the price, many levels better than most hotel meals. They obviously have a chef that understands his ingredients and knows how to cook and present them. Breakfast was pretty much standard, I had the full English, highlight was the black pudding, cooked to perfection. Coffee (as usual in hotel breakfasts) was, at best, average. Given the very attractive inclusive room rate, and the excellence of everything else, I still rate this as a five-star experience and will be returning Read more

I had a great stay here, the rooms are very spacious and modern. Breakfast was cooked to order ( i prefer this to a buffet for hot food) and very good. The hotel is in a lovely rural location and still handy for Slough (but far enough away!).

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I chose the hotel as it was close to a meeting the next day. I prefer hotels like this to large chains, and I wasn't disappointed. The evening meal was excellent as was the service. Room was big and bed was comfortable, which is a real plus point for me as I have a bad back.

由於是自駕，所以希望住得清靜一點，這裡有清新的空氣，偶然窗外可看見松鼠，住了幾天都很滿意，每天早上都可享受到很好的咖啡合全統英式早餐，很回味…

Erg prettig met behulpzaam personeel maar erg wantrouwig naar de klanten moest het hotel volledig vooruit betalen en een voorschot storten van 50,-- pond voor eventuele consumpties dit bedrag heb ik nog steeds niet terug ontvangen op mijn creditcard
