Grove of Narberth

Grove of Narberth, a five-star hotel in the Pembrokeshire countryside

Grove of Narberth is a five-star hotel set in the Narberth hills of Pembrokeshire, Wales. The property presents itself as a restored country house surrounded by meadows, woodland and mature gardens, with a focus on intimate and elegant hospitality. It is described as a small-scale retreat, with individually designed bedrooms that combine a modern twist on the traditional Welsh country house.

Two restaurants under the direction of Douglas Balish

The hotel has two restaurants, both overseen by Executive Chef Douglas Balish. The Fernery is its fine-dining restaurant, distinguished with 4 AA Rosettes, where a modern and carefully crafted tasting menu is served. The Artisan Brasserie offers a more relaxed format. The culinary offering at both venues is presented as widely recognised for its use of locally sourced produce.

Experiences for guests and visitors

The property organises and facilitates experiences linked to the Pembrokeshire surroundings. These include coastal foraging outings with local expert Craig Evans, focused on learning about edible seafood and its sustainable and ethical harvesting, subject to weather and tide conditions. Visits and tastings are also offered at Velfrey Vineyard, an award-winning vineyard located about 6 miles from the hotel, which produces still and sparkling wines and runs tastings from £5, redeemable against a purchase on the same day, with options including grazing boards and guided tours between Easter and October. Tours with tasting take place on Thursdays and Saturdays, while tastings without a tour take place on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

The hotel also works with VIP Wales on guided and sightseeing tours of Pembrokeshire, departing from and returning to the Grove itself. The offering includes a full-day tour of north Pembrokeshire, a full-day tour of the south, guided walks in the Preseli Hills, and in west and south Pembrokeshire. Guests can also hire e-bikes to explore the area's villages, trails and hidden corners.

Setting and accommodation offering

The house is integrated into the Narberth landscape, with gardens that form part of the accommodation experience. The property's description emphasises the careful restoration of the house and the opportunity to enjoy a natural setting, with particular attention to tranquillity and the outdoors. The hotel identifies itself as a luxury retreat designed for an intimate and elegant stay in the Welsh countryside.
