About us

Tucked away in 300 acres of Hertfordshire countryside, just 20 minutes from London, The Grove is a vibrant five-star resort with a difference. 214 stylish rooms and individually designed suites blend modern luxury with the charm and character of the estate’s 18th-century heritage. From the award-winning Sequoia Spa and championship golf course to distinctive restaurants and bars – including the renowned buffet restaurant, The Glasshouse – there’s plenty to discover. Step outside and you’ll find woodland trails to wander, alongside a host of activities for all ages, from archery and axe-throwing, to bike rides and musical trails for little ones. In the summer months, the Walled Garden lies at the heart of it all. Home to the newly-refurbished Ralph’s Beach, a heated outdoor pool, and a Kitchen Garden which provides fresh produce for the chefs. Packed with personality and just far enough from the city to feel like a true escape, The Grove is the kind of place you’ll want to return to. Days here are designed to be unhurried and joy-filled, with space to connect, celebrate or simply switch off.

Covert Cocktail Club
Covert Cocktail Club

Once upon a time in 2016, Matt Levy, founder of Covert Cocktail Club, hosted a secret speakeasy as an intimate place for strangers to gather in his home. The only way to find out about it was via word of mouth. No address was given, the only clue being a sign placed in the window, “Cocktails Here”. A lot of people thought it was pretty cool, even before The New York Times wrote about it. But that was all pre-pandemic, and this is a new era. Liberated from the confines of a single location, Covert Cocktail Club now brings the speakeasy right to your door—be it at your home, office, bar mitzvah, dinner party, bachelor/ette party or anywhere you choose!
