Bought in 2007 by seasoned hoteliers and restaurteurs Neil and Zoe Kedward,  Grove of Narberth was lovingly restored to the beautiful property it is today.

It is the flagship in the couple's Seren hospitality group, which includes Coast restaurant at Coppet Hall, Saundersfoot.

The hotel has 25 individually designed rooms and suites boasting 'a seamless blend of Welsh heritage and modernity', while there are two food offerings overseen by executive chef Douglas Balish - fine dining at the 4 AA Rosette restaurant Fernery, and relaxed dining in the Artisan Rooms brasserie.

Both restaurants feature produce from the two acres of kitchen gardens. 

The hotel also has 26 acres of mature woodlands and gardens, which are cared for by the hotel's professional gardening team, led by Greg Leeson.
