The English hotel resort with private beach, outdoor swimming pool and cinema – and new Spanish-themed experience
Plus, the English hotel with one of the UK's poshest spas… but it's only for dogs RURAL RETREAT The English hotel resort with private beach, outdoor swimming pool and cinema – and new Spanish-themed experience Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A HUGE hotel resort set in the English countryside is home to wealth of things to do and explore and is also getting an exciting new Spanish experience. The Grove located in the Hertfordshire countryside, just 18 miles from central London is a private resort with five restaurants, three bars, an award-winning spa, a golf course and events spaces. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 9 The Grove located in the Hertfordshire countryside, just 18 miles from central London Credit: The Grove 9 It is a private resort with five restaurants, three bars, an award-winning spa, a golf course and events spaces Credit: The Grove Stretching over 300 acres, the resort boasts something for everyone. Whist the first house at the site dates back to the 1500s, the hotel didn't open until 2003. And inside it features sophisticated interiors with sculptures, chandeliers and airy large windows. There are a number of different rooms available, including 12 newly refurbished suites in the 18th century mansion. Depending on your mood, visitors can also eat a number of different locations including The Glasshouse, which according to The Grove's website is "one of the world's finest buffets". And during the summer months, the hotel hosts the 'Feast on Cloud 9'. Guests can experience a food from the hotel whilst immersed in a fairground-theme outdoor area. Throughout the experience, visitors will have immersive moments all whilst enjoying a five-course meal or afternoon tea. It costs £75 per adult and £49.50 per child for the five-course tasting menu. Alternatively, you could have afternoon tea for £65 per adult and £39.50 per child. This Hotel is Home to the UK's Only Swim-Up Bar The hotel is also hosting a new experience called 'Fuego in the Woods', which shares with guests the flavours of Spain. Across three courses, visitors will have a sharing-style Spanish feast all cooked over wood-fired parrillas with dishes including Barcelona-style flatbread with black garlic aioli, Tomahawk of Hertfordshire beef and a Basque chocolate cheesecake with cherry compote. There will be live music and drinks across the participating evenings too. The experience costs £175 per adult or £100 per child. Back at the hotel, there is also a spa onsite which offers a range of facilities including a 22-metre-long UV-filtered pool, jacuzzi, sauna and steam room. One of the real hidden gems of the site is the walled garden - home to a heated outdoor pool, private beach and kitchen garden. 9 Inside, the hotel features sophisticated interiors with sculptures, chandeliers and airy large windows Credit: The Grove 9 The hotel is also hosting a new experience called 'Fuego in the Woods', which shares with guests the flavours of Spain Credit: The Grove Whilst at the 'beach', guests can relax, enjoy a new bar, stretch out on daybeds and get competitive in a family gaming area. This year, the beach has a fresh new look and a dedicated treatment space. The day beds include premium, classic and family options that cost from £60 to £190, depending on whether you book them for a day or half-day. Each booking also comes with still and sparking water, fruit skewers, coconut water, face spray and cocktails. 9 Whilst at the 'beach', guests can relax, enjoy a new bar, stretch out on daybeds and get competitive in a family gaming area Credit: The Grove 9 Whilst at the 'beach', guests can relax, enjoy a new bar, stretch out on daybeds and get competitive in a family gaming area Credit: The Grove Whilst there, guests can also indulge themselves with a 'Sequoia on the Beach Massage' - which focuses on the décolletage, neck, shoulders, face, scalp and arms. For those who like golf, The Grove is home to one of the UK's most prestigious golf courses, with 18 holes. In fact, in 2006, the resort hosted The World Golf Championships, which were won by Tiger Woods. Previous guests have included cast members of Harry Potter - as 'The Making of Harry Potter' is nearby at Leavesden Studios - and Barack Obama during a presidential visit with Prime Minister David Cameron. It isn't only prestigious guests the resort is used to - there have also been a number of notable events at The Grove. 9 The day beds include premium, classic and family options that cost from £60 to £190 Credit: The Grove The Grove Hotel went viral for one of it's restaurants THE Sun's assistant travel editor Sophie Swietochowski experienced the buffet last year - here's what she thought. As The Sun travel desk's resident foodie, I could hardly resist trying the UK's fanciest buffet, also one of the world's most expensive. The Grove Hotel in Hertfordshire went viral earlier last year when TikTok foodies discovered its Glasshouse restaurant where everyone dines en masse, but in five-star luxury. It even featured in Netflix's 'Million Dollar Buffet' documentary with Grace Dent. Costing a whopping £82 per person at the weekend, there is certainly enough to choose from. After several, overly-generous spoonfuls of caviar, a few servings of beetroot-cured salmon and seven superbly crafted sushi rolls, decorated with dainty herbs, I felt I'd made a good dent in 'getting my money's worth' – a statement that had been thrown back and forth between my buffet partner, Mum, and I. So the real question is: is it really worth the cash? It's a thought that's difficult to get out of my head, even though, as a self-proclaimed foodie, I'd normally spend at least this amount on a boozy dinner with friends. But £82 does feel like a lot for what I'd previously have defined as 'just a buffet'. Although, if you visit for dinner mid-week, as opposed to the weekend, you can knock £17 off this price. I'd planned what I thought was an adequate two and a half hours to properly tackle that evening's dinner, but an extra hour would have been more appropriate if I wanted to take it at a more relaxed pace – and squeeze in an extra few hundred calories. Isn't that what buffet dining is all about? Still, despite the steep price, I think I'll be booking a table for my birthday next year – and this time I'm aiming for five plates instead of four. 9 In 2023, the resort celebrated 20 years since it opened and also received a plethora of awards Credit: The Grove These include NATO's 70th annual meeting. And for the final of the UEFA Euros, the England National Football Team stayed at the hotel. In 2023, the resort celebrated 20 years since it opened and also received a plethora of awards. The Grove also revealed its newly renovated Sequoia spa after a £1.6million refurbishment. There is a posh UK spa hotel praised by mums as perfect for kids – thanks to an Ofsted creche, huge playbarn and early teatime. Plus, the English hotel with one of the UK's poshest spas… but it's only for dogs.

Foodie reveals the easy way you can get free Wagamama sides – and why you should never throw away their takeaway boxes
Plus, all the places where your kid can eat for free this summer FOOD FOR THOUGHT Foodie reveals the easy way you can get free Wagamama sides – and why you should never throw away their takeaway boxes Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WITH the costs skyrocketing, going out for dinner has become more expensive than ever, especially if you have a family. But as cash-strapped Brits are struggling to make ends meet, one savvy foodie has revealed how you can enjoy two sides at Wagamama for free. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 One savvy foodie revealed how you can score two free sides at Wagamama Credit: tiktok/@catchagemm 2 There's a reason you shouldn't throw out your takeaway boxes, he revealed Credit: tiktok/@catchagemm The beloved restaurant chain has become a firm favourite for many looking for delicious meals that are also hearty - and turns out, you can now upgrade your dishes with extra free sides. The Japanese-inspired chain, known for its legendary Chicken Katsu curry and ramen dishes, offers a huge variety of sides customers can choose from, such as edamame beans for that protein kick and prawn crackers. According to one money-smart foodie, only known as @catchagemm on TikTok, there's a simple way to save almost £5 for the edamame beans alone during your next visit. And if you love ordering a cheeky takeaway from the popular chain, you might not want to chuck those boxes away. Spilling the beans on the platform, the TikToker first urged foodies to download the Wagamama app on their mobile devices. ''Once you download the app and sign up a new account, you'll get a free voucher for either edamame or prawn crackers,'' he said in the video. ''You can redeem these with your main.'' The cheapest mains, according to their new menu, start from just £10 - and by adding the free side, you'll make them more filling. The savvy foodie went on to reveal another easy hack to bag a free side. ''If you have one of these Wagamama takeaway boxes, all you need to do is just bring it in. I'd heard brilliant things about Too Good to Go so spent £4.40 on an Asda bag - it was an epic fail, I can't eat it all ''The staff will let you know that you can actually trade this for a side. ''Then they will give you one of these vouchers.'' With this voucher, he said, bargain-hunting foodies can claim the free side on the same day or during their next visit to the beloved chain. ''You can trade it in for a free side as long as you buy a main. ''Combine both offers - the one on the app and the one for the free side - and then all you need to do is just buy the main and then you'll get two free sides.'' Where can kids eat for free this summer? THE summer holidays are here, but entertaining the kids need not cost a fortune. Here, we reveal where you can get free and cheap meals for your little ones during the 'endless' summer holidays. ASDA CAFE: Nip into an Asda cafe to feed the kids after the weekly shop.

Options include sandwiches, a cooked breakfast and fish and chips. All kids' meals come with a piece of fruit and a drink. Site closure However, if you live in Manchester, you won't be able to enjoy this epic offer - as its Spinningfields location has shut its doors after two decades of serving up fan-favourite dishes, we reported in February. The chain first opened the Spinningfields site in August 2005, making it the second Wagamama restaurant in the city. The venue, located in Spinningfields Square opposite Rosa's Thai, is now listed as permanently closed on the chain's website. A message told customers: 'We're now closed at this location. but don't worry, you can still get your favourites at the nearby St Peter's Square or Printworks restaurants.' A spokesperson for Wagamama confirmed the decision, stating: 'Given there are already two other wagamama restaurants in Manchester, guests are being directed to the two other sites to either wagamama Printworks or wagamama St Peters Square.' The spokesperson also hinted at potential future expansions, adding: 'We are always looking for suitable sites in and around the area.' Despite the closure, Wagamama continues to operate across more than 170 locations across the country, including Greater Manchester locations in the Trafford Centre, Didsbury, and Salford's MediaCity.

Sometimes when they were screaming 'Emma', it sounded like Aryna."
