Very charming location with beautiful views and surroundings for country walks. The Donnington castle is only 20 mins walk.
We stayed in the summer house as we had a small dog with us. Very spacious room with all comforts including a little conservatory with armchairs and side table for afternoon tea. Wonderful bathroom with powerful shower. Will definitely come back and highly recommend to friends

TRIPADVISOR REVIEW - 15/11/2023

From the arrival to the check-in, the experience at Donnington Grove was 5-star.

My friend and I stayed in the Summer House, which was quiet and spacious; the room offered a gorgeous view of the golf course. I want to thank Manuel for his hospitality upon us checking in and being so kind to us.

The Bar and Restaurant was a great place to gather after a fun day. If you want food from the city, I recommend ordering from Deliveroo or UberEats as taking a taxi can get quite expensive, however, bus line 4 will take you to the station in 11 minutes.

I will ensure all my friends and family visit Donnington Grove if they are ever in the area.

Thanks again, Manuel and the team for a lovely stay.

Donnington Grove is a beautiful old country house. I was also very impressed with the room they gave me. I would definitely recommend Donnington Grove and will stay here again the next time I'm in this area.

Super hotel with excellent staff, restaurant and surroundings. Highly recommend this hotel. A first class experience. The hotel was warm and very clean and the menu was varied and not overly expensive.

We booked last minute as we needed somewhere after a long flight and before a long drive home. Booked Donnington Grove as we had visited the area before and knew roughly where it was. Pleasantly surprised with location - although very wet weather stopped us enjoying it fully. Very comfortable sleep. Excellent breakfast, including a takeaway as my partner felt too poorly to attend the restaurant (the staff provided a box and were very helpful). Would be happy to stay again.

A lovely place to stay. Clean and comfortable. Friendly staff, Monmel on reception gave us a warm welcome.
The food in the restaurant was delicious, hats off to the chef. Lilly the waitress was really helpful.
The grounds were lovely to wander around, even in February. We were lucky to stay in a suite, which so spacious. A real stately home experience.
They may have parties being held, so it can be a bit noisy in the evening. It didn’t really bother us though and I would gladly return.

What a fantastic venue and fabulous team you all are! We cannot thank Jo (Wedding Planner) and all the staff enough!

Held a celebration wedding reception for our daughter and new son in law here last weekend. Communications all through the planning stages were good and the events manager Adam, was very helpful and easy to talk to. We had a wonderfully happy and memorable day using the Chinese and Kennet rooms. I would definitely recommend this venue and we would come back.

We have been staying at this hotel every January for the past few years and it is always a delight. The staff are super-friendly and helpful without exception. You feel like you are being welcomed as family. Service and food at the Saturday night banquet for 60 people was excellent.

Such a stunning venue and amazing team. Thank you so much Jo (Wedding Planner) for making it all so easy and stress free. 

Sarah Louise Williams - 30/06/2022

Thank you for another fantastic stay! We've stayed at lots of different golf hotels and this is the only one we keep coming back to. This is our third visit and we brought my parents this time and they loved it too, they're already talking about coming back next year.

The staff are all so welcoming and friendly, especially Eva in the restaurant; her customer service skills are second to none and she was so cheerful and professional. She mentioned she was on an agency placement, but it would be a real benefit for the hotel team if it were possible to make her a permanent member of staff.

I would highly recommend Donnington Grove for a wedding venue. The organisation and information provided was second to none. All guests were accommodated and looked after well. Top marks for this venue

TRIPADVISOR REVIEW - 04/09/2019

My husband and I stayed in the Manor House Suite the night of our wedding and it was absolutely lovely. Really comfy bed and clean spacious rooms. The complimentary bottle of champagne was a really kind gesture. It was the perfect way to end our wedding day.

Donnington Grove was delightful and characterful, with a large bedroom, bathroom and wonderful views. Staff and services were all top class and we had a wonderful visit. Hotel also close to Highclere Castle which we visited and was pretty fab too.

We were a large group visiting end of July, we booked total of 8 rooms. Check In was smooth and over all experience was wonderful. There is a nice hike to Donnington Castle from hotel. Golf courses are beautiful as well, I highly recommend this place.

We enjoyed a delightful stay in beautiful surroundings. Our executive room was spacious and spotlessly clean. The meals were delicious and well cooked. All the staff were welcoming and helpful and went out of their way to help us feel comfortable and safe. Highly Recommended.
