Grovefield Manor

Last minute booking for Sat7th Oct. Double room, £152. We have stayed at nicer hotels, it’s basic but as the saying goes you get what you pay for. However, we’ve never stayed at a hotel where the manager has been this rude. Following the way the manger communicated on check out I wouldn’t stay at this hotel again under any circumstances, be warned. At check in we had a pre authorisation placed on a credit card of £160 (after being told the charge was £50). It was queried and the manager said he’d return in full the next day at check out. Come check out we requested the cancelation £160 pre auth and the manger became loud, shouty and started dropping the f bomb. We didn’t complain about anything, we only asked for the £160 pre auth to be cancelled before we checked out. Our room was cheap & basic, had a bit of a stuffy smell, a few too many spiders and cobwebs and the shower took 18 to clear an air lock before water ran. Breakfast is continental (not full English) and finished at 9.30am on a Sunday, pretty early if you’ve had a late Sat night.

- Location is perfect. Walking distance to the beach, and a part of it that doesn’t get too busy. Situated directly between central Poole or Sandbanks and Bournemouth with easy access to the motorway. - Parking spaces a a good size. - Room was very spacious and comfortable. - Wonderful amenities. - Great inn around the corner for Sunday lunch. - Very friendly and welcoming gentleman running the place. We’d recommend this place to others visiting.

The warmest welcome, cleanest and most comfortable foods. Great service and very lovely staff. Especially the male owner who went above and beyond for me and my little boy who stayed here last minute (due to being stranded) Thankyou so much. A little gem of a place

we arrived mid evening and were received a warm welcome from Chris, the owner. He gave us a very detailed explanation of the Guest house and the surrounding area. Room was clean and spacious. Breakfast was plentiful and staff very friendly. Highly recommend.

Checked in as a Solo traveller at 7 pm on a Sunday evening 26/05/24. Was welcomed and everything. Explained . Room was spotlessly clean, quite blingy !Bed was comfortable! I usually have a cooked breakfast, but continental breakfast served ? Must say that breakfast was excellent quality and selection ! Overall Breakfast excellent!! I would certainly recommend this Hotel and will return when next in the area !

Very friwndly helpful staff. Spotlessly clean, lots of traditional antiques but light modern touches incorporated well. Stay in their smallest 1 twin bed room for 3 bites- cosy and comfy with nice shower. Saw their king size 4 poster room with separate sitting room and huge bathroom- lovely. Great location, good pub and restaurant couple of doors down. They serve a very nice continental breakfast.
