Grove Court Hotel in Copeland - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

It was horrific i went undercover to see if anyone could realise what i was doing the food was not pleasant , actually pleasant is and understatement it was cold and grimy an a all out crap fest and dog s**t meal!

We visited here from a recommendation and we were not disappointed. The steaks were cooked perfectly, chips were good and salad was very fresh. Decor could do with being updated which would make it perfect

We had 2 senior citizens meals. Turkey was not tasty nor were the vegetables. We have had 2 meals here and both were not nice. We were not asked if we enjoyed the meal or if we wanted condiments. We will not visit again as we really were disappointed.

We come here frequently as my Gran and Grandma love it. It is very welcoming and friendly. The staff always have a conversation and take the time to talk to you. The food is good pub food; for the price it is high quality and has good presentation. It is accommodating for all the family and we will be returning.

The meals are OK and the ambience is not bad, the menu is fairly standard, nothing special but well prepared and presented. Probably wouldn’t visit again but no big complaints, just very standard

Always welcoming, all good freshly cooked food, plates nice and hot too. Senior citizens are catered for, supposedly smaller portions, they don't look smaller though!! Neither do the children's portions look smaller!! Just delicious. We live local so are lucky to be able to treat ourselves here whenever we choose.

Only three of us for Christmas day & so we booked lunch here rather than have to cook. Friendly and welcoming staff, nothing was too much trouble. Choice of four starters, carvery main course, selection of desserts followed by coffee & mince pies. Reasonably priced when compared with other restaurants offering Christmas day lunch. All very tasty. Only downside for us was pre-sliced turkey & ham rather than freshly carved as the beef was. Still, well worth the visit - an enjoyable lunch.

Went here for Sunday lunch with the family. Great service, food was well presented, there was plenty and all was very tasty. Would definitely recommend and will be back again soon

A friendly welcoming place to eat an excellent meal and wide variety of food. Have visited many times and never been disappointed in foot cooked to perfection or welcome of staff

Visited for lunch on a Friday & were not disappointed. The bar is clean, airy & nicely decorated. Staff were welcoming & helpful throughout our visit. The menu is extensive & varied with options for children & senior citizens. Dessert board was quite extensive. Service was quick & all food that came was tasty & very nicely presented. Only downside for us was that drinks prices are quite steep - about £9 for a pint and large glass of wine. Hence 4stars rather than 5stars.

Don't go anywhere else in the lake district or if staying in Whitehaven stay at this hotel everything's above excellent the staff excellent and can not do enough for you I will stay again .as my family live in Whitehaven

We went on a Monday evening and it is the steak night. All four of us enjoyed the meal which was well prepared and presented to our table. The restaurant has a really good ambience and so comfortable. The sweets board was excellent. We thought the cost very reasonable and will definitely return.

We eat here regularly and the food is always good. Service quick and friendly and if it is busy they are realistic about the time you may have to wait. Only downside is the music!

They diner we had was beef, mushrooms, carrots, peas and potatoes. And they were all out of a tin. It was awful and it was expensive. Plus the drinks are expensive. And the owners don’t give a monkeys whether you like it or not. So don’t bother. Donate your money to charity, you will get more pleasure out of it.

Has to be expected was grand stay again! Must be my bones but the bed was a bit to hard for me. Food was excellent though, the texmex special was very, very good. Fish and chips for my better half was "brilliant" Night after we had the pensioner menu, scamp very good indeed. Will be back. The staff are great, nothing a problem.

The food was hot and plentiful with lots to choose from. The beer was well kept. The staff were very friendly

Staff were nice, very pleasant . The restaurant was pretty quiet, I had the rump steak, as did my son, my husband had veg lasagne and my daughter had a kids pizza. It took a while to come out, the chips were nice, the steak was a bit tough. The kids had ice cream for pudding, and with some soft drinks we were £77 lighter! Massively overpriced for what it was. Don't think we'll bother returning.

My wife has lunched at The Grove a few times with her friend but I had never been before. We ate in the bar as the Restaurant was closed, but it didn't spoil things. We had a reservation so were soon seated. There was an extensive menu as well as a specials board. As I don't tend to eat much at lunchtime I chose the 3 Cheese Ploughman's, as did my wife. The others chose Scampi, with salad & chips and a roast turkey dinner.

The grove court is quite local for us but we have never visited before. Received some vouchers so decided to try it out. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, we waited about 20 minutes for our food but when it arrived it was freshly cooked, and delicious. I couldn't fault it. Real chips (not frozen) and the meal wasn't pre packed microwaved. I only ordered a small meal, but it was still to much. There is an extensive menu (there is even a slimmers menu). I will definitely be going back. Great value.

came here today 29th october for sunday lunch as a family of 4 we have visited before and always enjoyed it but as of today will never return.. we ordered garlic mushrooms for starter which were just drowning in butter with zero taste... for main we all had turkey which was wafer thin (just the one slice) veg was clearly frozen rubbish served in a tiny side dish.. the cabbage was 'crispy' mash was un-seasoned and extremely dry.. such a dissapointment... sorry but never again.

The food here is always excellent, staff are friendly - could possible do with a decor revamp, but would recommend to anyone

The hotel was in a good location and had everything we needed. Tasty breakfast and very welcoming. A few corner shops and takeaway/restaurants not far... the hotel also has a bar and serves food.

A party of 8 of us visited for lunch. The welcome was warm and the food was really good. The homemade chips are lovely. I'm a vegetarian and had lasagne which was good and I really liked that it came with choice of potatoes rather than the usual garlic bread. The salad was massive and really good. All the meat eaters were very happy too. Would go again and recommend.

Went here for drinks with friends who were staying here. Drinks were a little pricey but service was very good. Friends who were staying there were also complimentary of the service and stated the only let down was the quantity on the breakfast

Stayed for 2 nights bed and breakfast, the room was large, clean & very comfortable with all necessary amenities. Great location with parking. Great locally sourced cooked breakfast, cooked to order. Not the usual greasy fry up. Booked for the evening meal both evenings of our stay, great food & popular restaurant with local people. Staff were lovely and had a great repour with their customers. The only negative I could say about Grove Court is that it needs a revamp to bring it out of the 80's.

Stayed recently the location of the hotel is great with some stunning views, we used the hotel as a base so we could go off elsewhere so I can't review the food on offer in the evening,the breakfast was nice and plenty of choice.

the food is quite good, I have not stayed here because I live nearby, but if ever we go for a meal out it is the first place we think of, I have reccomended it to visitors who thought it was above the average hotel, friendly and helpful staff

We were last here in April, and really enjoyed the meal , so decided to come again for lunch, with my 96 year old auntie, and her son, as there is a good selection of Gluten Free choices for him.. We like the place as it is large, not cluttered, airy, friendly staff, and decent service..

My room was large, with necessary amenities. This is a hotel that caters to events and can use a facelift.

Stayed in a family room for a couple of nights while visiting the Lake District.The staff were extremely friendly with nothing being too much trouble & although the room was basic it was clean & comfortable with a king size, bunk beds + a sofa.The food in the restaurant was exceptional with friendly staff although you do need to book a table, we forgot on our second night, but they still found space for us off the main bar area..We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & would recommend this hotel.

We had no choice as to where to eat, being ferried here from our B&B, but frankly it is the last place I would have chosen. We had flaccid salads, with little variety and less taste, and the whole place smelled of cooking fat and beer. Horrible

have Eaten here a number of times bar area is quite dated but the food is nice and well cooked and service is very good.

We stayed here for one night. We are two adults and two children. The pictures looked ok and the reviews seemed positive but when we arrived It was dark and musty. We were very tired and went to the room. It was not very clean. There was a used tissue under the bunk bed and we put our bag on top of the wardrobe which knocked all the dust off. The shower was very unclean. There were dead flies on the window ledge. The top bunk had the safety bar removed and we could not let our youngest sleep there incase he fell out. If we were not so tired we would have left. The breakfast in the morning was below average but the staff were very nice and friendly. I did mention to the staff member the room was very dirty and they seemed surprised but nothing was done. I would not stay there again.

We had dinner here on a quiet Sunday evening. Special: a Roast beef dinner was certainly good value.

I visited the Grove Court for a wedding anniversary and found my meal to be very good value( an Indian prawn curry for £ 9.95 with huge portions of curry, chips and rice), but nothing special. The prawns I found to be shrimps, which was a let down, the nan bread was OK but looked like it was out of a ready meal, although the chips and rice were very nice. My parents had a roast dinner where the vegetables looked like they came out of a tin and the roast beef was none too good.I would say if you want a large meal at a reasonable price, the Grove Court is good, and the service is prompt and friendly, it's just the meals seem to be made to a price and they skimp on quality. Won't be going back as for all it's not a bad restaurant, it's not particularly good. However, they do have a huge range of meals from Indian to vegetarian, which is a selling point.

Enjoyed a lovely Thursday lunch, husband had garlic mushrooms, followed by mixed grill. I had turkey & stuffing sandwich with chips. Chips homemade, generous portion. Give it a try.

We like to dine at the grove all staff are friendly and prompt wid there service..we didnt wait long for food and the food was lovely..we will defintley return to eat again at the grove.

Booked table. Good choice of menu and specials board. Food well presented and delicious. Staff attentive and pleasant. Would certainly return and recommend to others to give it a try.

Booked for family birthday. Pre ordered our food 5 days in advance as requested.When the food arrived it was shocking!Garlic mushrooms (mushrooms out of a tin). Steaks had obviously been pre-cooked and then either pre heated or kept under a heat light. All were dry and well done, not medium/rare as ordered. Even the addition of a peppercorn sauce (which also included tinned mushrooms) didn't help. Cumbeland sausage had been cooked to within an inch of it's life that it was black.No one came to our table to check if everything was ok and to top it off one of the waitresses dropped dirty cutlery over my mum (ruining her brand new outfit) and didn't even apologise.When I did complain we got the price of 1 steak knocked off our bill.How on earth do they cope with weddings & functions when they can't even get a small party right.

Stayed here for a night on coast to coast. Convenient location. Hotel was dark and dingy and smelt as if it had a damp problem certainly in need of some redecoration. Staff were friendly enough, but rarely on reception. Room was satisfactory. Meal in evening was excellent although the only real ale was in bottles. Ok for a night but would not stay longer.

A few of us ate here recently on a family weekend away at the nearby Ennerdale Hotel..Nice location and building and lovely staff.. The food was ok, my wife's steak and ale pie was excellent but my Cumberland sausage maybe not.. I'll know what I'll have if I'm ever here again of course..

We called in here for a meal saturday lunch time,afetr about a 25 year absence since our last visit.. The bar and waiting staff were very friendly and accomodating, and the bar area was pleasantly decorated and light, but a little on the cool side... Very goood range of foods on the menu..The meals we ordered were a mixed meat salad, gammon, and pensioners cumberland sausage... All the meals were excellent, and the mixed meat platter was probably the best I have ever seen...It wont be so long till we return..

We visited here for lunch today & it was amazing as usual! Staff very friendly & helpful & food delicious!!!

went to the Grove on Xmas day . the meal was beautiful .it was a carvery . the staff was very friendly

went to this restaurant with work colleagues, service was very good staff were friendly and courteous, portions were excellent

I be to grove a couple of times the beef stir fry is to die for , the steak was spot on . The staff are very friend and nice and clean .

went to my grandsons christening on the 6th of nov.Where to start function room artic buffet ok asked if we would like tea or coffee when the coffee arrived we were told this would be £1.50 a cup thought coffee would come with buffet. told the bar would be open in function room (no) had to go through to the bar when asked bar not stocked why not stocked when we were told it would be.Rather dated table cloths stained shabby will not be back

I have stopped at this hotel a couple of times the rooms are clean and tidy although a bit dated in the main building . The food is excellent and the drink top notch . Good place to stay

I visit the Grove on a regular basis with my partner, the food is fantastic I have never once had a bad meal here very generous portions and It's always an added bonus to have homemade chips. There is a wide variety on the menu, even on Sundays it's a full menu not many places do that!!Chicken stir-fry is the one for me 10/10

I regularly go to the Grove for Steak nights on a Monday night! The steak is always cooked to perfection, BEST STEAK IN CUMBRIA! Beautiful homemade chips and the Stilton sauce is to die for. Two steaks for £16!! VERY good value. Always a good selection of deserts. Staff are so nice and friendly, service with a smile everytime. The hotel it's self is always nice and clean. Would definitely recommend a visit!!!

Visited for a two night getaway. The room was functional enough and the building from the outside is absolutely beautiful. However, the smell of stale cooking fat and damp inside the building is absolutely stomach churning. Asides from our room, the building interior really needs an update. Breakfast was attempted once and we simply couldn't face it again the next day and opted to pay to eat elsewhere. The food was absolutely swimming in grease and the produce tasted cheap- not at all enjoyable and even though it was included in our room rate, we couldn't face it again (we are not fussy people at all and are very easily pleased). The staff are fine- no comments positive or negative to be made. Overall I don't believe this hotel should continue to charge £75 per night until improvements are made.

Had a warm welcome from Tracy. On entering the place smelt very much of cooking grease. We were told that they were full for evening meal, but we weren't bothered by this as the lunches we could see people eating didn't look that good, so we ate at a lovely pub nearby and thoroughly enjoyed it.The outside of the hotel is gorgeous but the inside is a big let down, it's shabby and old fashioned, although very clean and the beds were very comfy. I feel £90 for one night was over priced. The breakfast we were served was awful, one of the worst I've had, cheap sausages and cardboard fried bread and everything had a very peculiar taste, we left the lot apart from the toast.

Stay at the hotel for couple of nights. we was well look after by Annette and kay you got great staff . The evening and breakfast was very taste . The family room was very big and nice and clean . will be back

Loved the atmosphere, very clean and modern design. Actually stayed has a guest for a week, well looked after, food devine, friendly staff

Great meal had by all. Often come here for mid week get togethers. Good reliable food, good portion sizes and very reasonable

Well the staff at The Grove Court were amazing. Nothing too much thank you Tracy for making sure it all went well. We had a few issues with our room which Tracy was very good about grade A customer service.

Just up the road (300 yds) from home. Handy for a good night out, good menu with local foods, nightly specials and good staff. Should do some of the local ales though. I have never had a bad meal and lots of good ones.

Nice venue -dinner was in the conservatory- food average but pleasant evening with family and friends

We arrived on Friday night at 18.30hrs and from that moment we were made more than welcome. It's a very pleasant place to spend an evening. The food was superb and they also do a skimmers menu. The is plentiful and they are willing to meet your needs and adaptable. I thought the soft drinks were pricey but all in all it is an excellent evening. We ate in the bar but they also have a restaurant which I'm sure is just as good.

Excellent food, well cooked and presented. Good menu, reasonable price. You won't leave hungry. Slimmer's menu too. Staff pleasant and attentive.

Whenever we fancy a salad we head here, they make the best salads EVER! The rest of their food is fab also and portion sizes are massive. We've eaten here regularly for years and years and never been disappointed.

Called here after reading good reviews.The eating area was very dated with uncomfortable seats,the tables were very close to the surrounding tables.Ordered a wine each that came in glasses that didnt match.When our food arrived after 45mins it was plentiful but dated like the decor.The staff were pleasant and the prices reasonable,but I wouldnt call again as there is better eating places in the area.This restaurant needs a modern twist applied as sadly the food and decor is still in the 1980s

Went for a Christmas dinner with the wife. The food was lovely and could not be faulted. The hotel was decorated lovely and was spotlessly clean. Sadly we got stuck with a moody staff member who must've been out on the night before, as I think for the 2 hours we were their we got 5 words out of her. Would recommend for a nice family or couples meal.

My family have been to the grove for mother's day lunch it is one of our favourite places to eat out the food was lovely the service was excellent and the staff are friendly and helpful we will be definitely going back soon.

Booked up after reading the reviews online and looking at pictures on their website but was very disappointed when we arrived, once an old school this "hotel" is in desperate need of an overhaul, our twin room was very cold and was told by the lady on reception that the heating was timed and would have to give it a boost if we were cold. The room had an aroma still not sure what of, but maybe it was the fried food smell that greeted us as we came in, the taps were broken and the shower hose was leaking,though the beds were comfortable. We were told about the restaurant and checked out the menu, being vegetarian we generally struggle to find a good choice and this place was no different also putting fish dishes in this section as well made us steer well clear, overall more like a youth hostel dormitory with a bar, as a venue has massive potential but desperately needs an injection of cash, thankfully we had only booked for one night.

Come here on a regular basis and the food is always lovely, staff are always very helpful. Really nice homemade chips, Would recommend to anyone

Just got back from the grove and I'm stuffed, the food was so tasty, went for a birthday treat and there was 9 of us the food arrived prompty everyone liked what they had, the place was spotless, cutlery was nice and clean. All the staff bend over backwards to help us.Between us we had a full varied choice of mealsMixed grillStir fryMeat platerCurrySteakGammonRange of ice creams, and not one complaint about any of it.Friendly atmosphere, I was really impressed.Will be going back

A reasonable restaurant with a good selection of food available, a good car park at rear with a large function room at the rear of the building, most small parties are accommodated in the conservatory or bar area.

A well organised Christmas lunch without the washing up. The staff were very helpfull and friendly .The food carvers consisted of Turkey beef and pork with all the trimmings. Choice of 4 starters and desserts and followed by coffee and mince pies.definitely value for money and would do it again.

Went here for Sunday dinner for my nephews birthday and was told we were in the conservatory but not shown to our table, when we found our table we weren't offered drinks so I just went to the bar and got them. When we ordered our meal I asked the young girl to check our order as she seemed new and upon checking we had things missing. A couple of minutes later another waitress also checked our orders which was fine as when we got our food everyone got what they ordered.Most people went for sunday dinners of either beef, pork or chicken (£7.95), which were all OK but they don't do mash potato which was a big disappointment, also the veg didn't arrive until after we had started eating our meals. My lad got steak and chips which he said was good. Some people got mushroom starters but they were a little too oily for us. Three courses was 11.95 I think, which was good value.When we asked for the desert menu we got a scrap of paper a few minutes later, I thought it was the bill at first, but it was a list of deserts. Deserts we got were kids ice cream, banoffee roulade, chocolate cake and keylime pie. All deserts were nice, with the chocolate cake being a much bigger portion size.All in all the food was OK but we felt the service showed room for improvement and for the first time in a long time I left no tip.

1 of my best friends lives near here. I visited yesterday with another of my friends as we live in County Durham, went here on spec. waitress was totally unfazed by our group of 3 mums and 5 collective daughters aged 5 to 13, we were welcomed and really well looked after, staff all a delight lovely with the kids.I had the best salad ever, billed as a platter it was huge and had a great selection of fresh salad and fruit. really nice touches. clean plates all round, and we weren't hurried at all despite taking our time well after everyone else had left! next time we visit I know we will be back, thank you all for a lovely lunch!

Have been here many times and the meal has always been fantastic.There is always plenty of choice.Meals always hot.Staff friendly

The service is always good. Great selection on the menu, including healthier options. All the staff make you feel very welcome, and it's no bother if you have a special request.

We had a meal here on a busy Friday nightThe seating is more like a social club with long bench/sofas and normal chairs which means you might end up sharing the long one with another dinerApart from this everything else was great. The service from the main guy behind the bar and the waitresses was faultless and the food was reasonably priced and tasted great and the portion sizes were largeOverall I would recommend this place and can see why it has so many good reviews

Once more a very good meal with friendly service. Portions are very generous with a large steak cooked as requested. Definitely worth another visit.

Lovely hotel, the managers great. This hotel was the highlight of our holiday food superb.....we will be back!!!! Thank you

I took my oriental wife for the Grove's Oriental special meal, and she approved of it! We had a choice of two curries and two stir-fries,

Stayed overnight at the Grove Court. We ate out with family but did have breakfast next morning. So good and tasty cooked breakfast

I ate here for the first time in a long time a couple of weeks ago, I had steak chips pepper sauce, the food was absolutely lovely, home cooked chips and one of the best steaks I have had, the portions are great and it was truly delicious! The only point that let them down was the selection of pudding wasn't great, it would have been the end to a perfect meal out if there was a good selection of pudding to top it off, and the staff are really attentive and friendly will defiantly be eating here again, excellent x

We had a really lovely lunch, cooked to perfection, our waitress Trasey couldn't have done any more to make use more welcome,we will certainly go there again, and I can really recomend any one to go, they won't be disappointed .

Went out for tea, the food and service was fantastic. Turkey dinner and a mixed grill which was outstanding the meat was all fantastic cuts. Will definitely be going back

We booked a table for a family occasion, and we were very impressed. The food was beautiful and the service was brilliant and quick :) This is a family friendly venue and the conservatory is a lovely place to enjoy the surrounding views! Would highly recommend and will definitely be back. Thanks

We booked the grove hotel to celebrate the life of a past family member. We had a lovelly table in the concervatory nice views over dent we all had a fantastic meals salmon was great and stir fry was good drinks kept on rolling which you cant complain about lol staff very friendly the hotel is very clean and warm when the bill come it was very reasonable keep up the good work Steven and Tracy thanks for a good meal and night mr & mrs Carruthers.

Went for a family meal 2 adults and 2 children... Our meals were perfect and plentiful... Children thoroughly enjoyed there's too... My eldest child wanted scampi which wasn't on the kids menu... We asked if he could have this as a kids meal and it wasn't a problem at all.., the staff are helpful and nothing is a problem for them... My partner and I both had steaks which were cooked exactly how we asked... £53 for 4 meals and puddings and drinks... Would highly recommend to anyone...

Went here after a long day walking in the Lakes. So had worked up an appetite.Unfortunately, the 'home cooked food' advertised was a huge disappointment. I ordered 'fried' Chicken Wings to start, which I was quickly presented with sloppy and slimy wings, which I would put alot of money on them being frozen and then microwaved. My main, the roast pork dinner also tasted of nothing and I suspected the vegetables were tinned and the meat reheated.The salad with the starter was the nicest and freshest part of the whole meal. The only saving grace was that the staff were lovely and the dining area was very clean. Food was too awful to give above a 1 start though.

Great menu, service and home cooked food. Lovely homemade chips and the stir fry was especially nice. Will deffo be back xx

Good service in a friendly hotel.We were staying in the area and popped in for an evening meal.The fillet steak was great and the pepper sauce was fantastic.Thoroughly recommended if you're in the area!!

My husband was born in this area and we go back quite a bit as his mom is still living there. This hotel has been a fav of mine from day one. The food is always top notch and the service is with a smile. The owners go out of their way to make you feel comfortable in a airy setting while you are dining. The surrounding countryside only adds to the fun of dining out. Try the Lumpy Bumpy Dessert its a real treat. Cheers!!

I dined here as part of a large party (25 people) on Saturday evening. The staff had reserved the conservatory area for our sole use which was a nice touch.Some of our party had pre-ordered their food and some had not. Despite this the food all arrived at the same time and most impressively, it was all hot and cooked exactly as requested. The majority of our party ordered meat based dishes. Mixed Grills, Steaks and Gammons. The food was universally well received. I ordered the Sirloin Steak with Chips, cooked medium rare. It was quite simply sensational. I don't recall if the menu gave a weight for the steak but it surpassed my expectations in both quality and size. It was so tender that I ate my meal with a regular knife. I was going to ask for a steak knife but simply didn't need one. I can't express enough how high the quality of the meat was. I was blown away. Top marks to the butcher.I also split the starter order of chicken wings (rather ominously called 'Wings of Fire') with a friend. I asked the waitress to instruct the chef to make them hot enough to hospitalise us (I had consumed some beer and was feeling brave!). The portion was small (6 wings) but extremely tasty. 15 minutes after eating them I still couldn't feel half of my face. Oddly enough we both felt that this was a plus point rather than something to worry about! In addition, I must praise the staff who dealt with our requests without batting an eyelid. They were all friendly and welcoming. Even ensuring that the young children in our party had their meals as soon as they were getting restless.I can't recommend this place highly enough. The decor is a little dated and at first the location seems somewhat unpromising, but I guarantee that the food and hospitality wouldn't be out of place in an upscale London restaurant.

Went here for our tea and was impressed. First time iv been for a meal and we will certainly go back. The food is very good and reasonably priced. The decor is a bit tired but it is clean. I would recommend the grove to friends.

Ate here with my daughter & my partner . Lovely cosy bar area , very friendly staff and good food . I had roast beef dinner and it was delicious . Reasonably priced aswell - very nice

We eat regularly at this little gem of a hotel .It is always warm comfortable and welcoming. The food is excelent and varied and more important always piping hot, served by very friendly pleasant staff. What more could you ask.The house wine is particularly good .

Three of us enjoyed a lovely meal with good service at this restaurant. Friendly staff and bar-manager, who recommended the house wine to us ,which was excellent. When we arrived we were shown to the only table available in the bar area . This table seemed to have been squeezed in to a small space between other tables, which resulted in very close proximity to the other diners, we therefore could not enjoy our conversation with each other as it felt like we were seated in our neighbouring diners lap! We asked to be moved , however the bar was full with other diners and it appears the main dining area through the bar was not open. Therefore this was not possible. Worth a visit , but the Grove Court needs to sort out the seating arrangements with the customer in mind. A small problem , but who wants to share their meal and conversation with complete strangers?

It’s not very often I bother with reviews, but having many excellent meals here over the last 12 months with not 1 bad experience, I thought it was time to praise it, so well done and keep up the good work, we will be back again shortly.

Excellent place to come for Sunday lunch. Good choices, great value for 3 courses and food was of decent quality and plentiful, so go with a good appetite. Service was also attentive.

I've stayed here a few times now through necessity rather than choice. The rooms are clean, but the bathrooms cold. The WiFi only works in a small part of the function room. The bar is usually empty. the thing I find most off-putting is the stench of fried food when you walk through the entrance, On the plus side, the staff are very helpful and friendly.

never disappoints, food always lovely, good value for money, Steve is mutual friend, visiting lakes for many years (19) stay in St Bees, and always have a meal in the Grove.

Village school converted into a budget family hotel. The accommodation is modest but clean with comfortable, generous sized rooms but probably the thinnest mattresses and pillows in civilisation. Very friendly and obliging staff. The breakfast is excellent quality, is well cooked and will last you all day. Did not dine, so cannot comment but the locals seem to eat there.I would certainly return.

The hotel was quite run down with a permanant smell of fried food.... The pictures on the website painted a different story! I guess if you can put up with the smell and are not expecting luxury then its ok!

My wife and I stayed for 4 nights whilst visiting relatives in Egremont. A great place to stay with large and comfortable room and friendly staff. The breakfast was very good, and the evening meals excellent.We can definitely recommend Grove Court .
