The Grove of Narberth

The Grove sits in gentle hills outside the market town of Narberth, a white-painted 18th-century house with far older Welsh longhouse origins, looking towards the Preseli Hills. Its owners have shaped it into the flagship of Welsh country hospitality: small enough to feel personal, ambitious enough to draw diners and design lovers across the Severn on reputation alone.

Interiors champion Welsh craft with unusual conviction—locally woven fabrics, studio pottery, Welsh art and antiquarian books—spread through the main house, converted longhouse and garden cottages. Rooms balance period character with quietly contemporary comfort, and the 26 acres of grounds include restored kitchen gardens and orchards that supply the kitchens as well as wildflower meadows for pre-dinner wandering.

The Fernery, the intimate flagship restaurant, has established itself as the leading fine-dining destination in west Wales, building tasting menus around Pembrokeshire's coastal and garden larder; the Artisan Rooms cover relaxed all-day dining. The county's celebrated coast path, beaches like Barafundle and the cathedral city of St Davids reward day trips. The Grove offers no spa and needs none; its sense of place is the treatment.
