"Lovely stay with amazing breakfast!"
Kettle did not work and when arranged breakfast in our room it wasn't followed up! Despite this and noisy shower had a lovely stay! Other guests were unruly and noisy at 6.30am on Sunday morning which did interrupt how relaxed the stay was! Read less
Likes:
Room really spacious, interesting decor and beautiful bedding and king sized bed! Breakfast was amazing and so was the outside. Though you coul do with some outdoor heaters so u can utilise views!
Dislikes:
Every time we flushed the toilet it made a really loud noise and when using the shower it stopped working if the room next door use their toilet! Really was not good! It's a shame without this!

"Beautiful building and setting but a lack of investment in upkeep and staff training"
There was a lot of noise from a juddering heating system and from the pub below. Curtains were very thin. I wanted an early night and this would have been impossible without my earplugs and eye mask.… Read more

Likes:
The room was huge and spacious with a beautiful view. Bedding and towels were clean and fresh.
Dislikes:
Cleanliness of floor and windows (eg I found an eyebrow pencil on the floor which cleaners had obviously overlooked!); rather paltry tea and coffee provision; light shining through the floorboard.

The Grove Ferry is a superbly converted Georgian Mansion set on the banks of The great River Stour, right in the midst of the Stodmarsh nature Reserve. The venue can now boast to be an independently run business with its own character and style. Step into a cosy yet refreshing pub environment where your food is prepared fresh to order and sourced from local suppliers and farmers. Take in a fantastic view from our terrace or patio, enjoy our extensive garden or stay inside on those cold nights in a comfy seat and warm yourself next to a roaring fire, whilst you are looked after by a friendly team of staff.
The venue has six bedrooms all with ensuite facilities, all individually decorated and all spacious yet comfortable. Each room has all the facilities you would expect from a country Inn plus a few more. Each room has desk, TV and coffee facilities. Wireless internet is available throughout the building free of charge and each room boasts a superb view of the surrounding countryside.
Breakfast is included in our standard rates and is served each morning in the pub. Again these are all cooked fresh to order and ingredients are sourced locally. Being an independent business also means that if you have any special requirments, ask away and we will do our best to help.
Where possible we source food locally to keep our carbon footprint to a minimum and support the local economy. Our meats are all traceable and again where applicable our food is free range.
