Double Rooms

Within the Georgian building itself, we have six double rooms. These are all the original bedrooms dating from or before 1797. They vary in size and are priced accordingly.

Standard Rooms

Number Three and Number Four sit overlooking the sweeping drive at the front of the house, with handsome original sash windows surrounded by ivy and original shutters. Both have king-sized beds. Number Three has a beautiful original fireplace, kneeler headboard and overlooks the main entrance porch, Number Four, with its walk-in wardrobe and large shower, is right in the centre of the frontage of the house, which was rebuilt in 1797.

Number Six has high ceilings, original 18th century sash windows looking out onto the spread of an ancient horse chestnut tree. It was originally build as the dressing room for Mr and Mrs Birbeck, and its en-suite bathroom was the first purpose-made bathroom in the house, built in 1895. Number Six can be made up as a twin room or a Super King-sized double.

Number Seven is at the heart of The Grove, just up the first flight of stairs – always first in for breakfast! This is our smallest double, and a firm favourite with regular guests.

Refurbished in 2015, Number Nine is an old family favourite featuring flexible zip-link beds that can be either two singles or a Super King-sized double. It has a fantastic shower-room, and an easy route down the stairs to dinner!

Number Ten is in the oldest part of the house, has a King-sized bed and window-seat. This was one of the original two up, two down bedrooms before the house was extended and rebuilt in 1797. It is not known how old this part of the house is.

Superior Rooms and Suite

Number Eight is our most recently converted room. Stunning and generously sized, it has many original features including the Georgian fireplace. It has been knocked through to another former bedroom, which has entered a new beginning as a beautiful bathroom complete with freestanding roll top bath and shower. The view is nothing to write home about, but it is more of a suite than a room, if we’re honest.

Number Eleven . New for 2020, we have upgraded Number Eleven to our first suite, including a dressing room, new bathroom and separate toilet, taking up most of the top floor of the west wing of The Grove. During the conversion, we have discovered a wealth of original features and combined with its pretty leaded windows, it shows off The Grove’s history. Originally the housekeeper’s room, it has views to the west of one of our wonderful copper beech trees and also to the east of the conker lawn.
