The luxury Welsh hotel that can't stop winning awards and has just won another accolade

Pembrokeshire country house hotel, Grove of Narberth, has been awarded the UK’s Best Small Hotel by Tripadvisor in the recently announced Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best Hotels 2023.

Grove of Narberth was restored after being bought in 2007 by seasoned hoteliers Neil and Zoe Kedward. The hotel is part of Seren, a family-owned business that celebrates Welsh history, culture, and community.

Speaking following the hotel’s win, owner Neil Kedward said: “We’ve always felt that small is beautiful, and so we’re very proud to be awarded this incredible accolade by Tripadvisor customers. The Grove of Narberth holds a special place in our hearts and we feel truly humbled that so many of our guests feel as passionately as we do about our hotel. We are so proud of our whole team, and how they champion Pembrokeshire as a destination, and celebrate Wales in all its glory —there’s no higher accolade than our guests recognising this. Warmest congratulations to the team and heartfelt thank you to all our guests.”

Grove of Narberth has also been featured as number #3 on UK Luxury Hotels list, #10 on the Europe Small Hotels list and #19 on Europe Luxury Hotels. In the same awards, a hotel in Llandudno was named amongst TripAdvisor's top 10 best places to stay in the UK. You can read more about that here.

The hotel has won countless other awards over the years. Last year, it topped the list of The Best Value 5-star hotels (UK and Ireland) and was named the best Independent Hotel of the Year at the prestigious Catey Awards after being shortlisted in the category in 2017 and 2020. For other recent awards it has won, see below.

Grove features 25 individually designed rooms and suites that boast a seamless blend of Welsh heritage and modernity in close proximity to the stunning Pembrokeshire coast.

Executive Chef Douglas Balish oversees the food offering at the hotel; fine-dining at the 4 AA Rosette restaurant Fernery, and relaxed dining in the Artisan Rooms Brasserie. Both restaurants are centred around produce from the 2 acres of renowned kitchen gardens, which provide a bountiful harvest of vegetables, herbs and fruits throughout the year.

Grove of Narberth also has 26 acres of mature woodlands and gardens, which is curated by the well established and professional gardening team, led by Greg Leeson. For more information on Grove Narberth or to book, please visit https://grovenarberth.co.uk/
