Boasting sumptuous rooms with 42-inch plasma-screen TVs and Bose iPod docks, The Grove is set within 300 acres of beautiful parkland.

Our stay at the Grove truly exceeded expectations. The location is stunning, and the amenities and programming (especially for children) were wonderful. The staff was welcoming and kind, and I’d like to especially appreciate Soad, who went above and beyond to ensure my birthday was well celebrated. Our daughter (nearly 5) had so much fun for the amazing activities over Easter weekend, as well as playing in the kids pool and driving the mini Landies. She also loved her afternoon at Anushka’s, which was a real treat for my husband and I to have some kid-free time together, knowing our daughter was having fun in good hands. We were sad to leave and would love to come back again someday.

Holiday Inn London Watford Junction has a central location just 2 minutes’ walk from Watford Junction Railway Station and 10 minute's walk from the town center.

We stayed to visit harry potter studio tour which this hotel is a fab location for, Watford junction is a 2 minute walk with the potter shuttle bus there. It's only 5 minutes to walk to the main street in Watford with lots of food and drink options. The room was clean, smelled lovely and comfortable. The staff were lovely and very helpful too.

    On our first day we arrived early and headed into London for the City Sightseeing Hop on Hop Off experience, it was brilliant! The train station is a 2 mins walk from the Holiday Inn where we stay, and departs regularly for London. On our second day, we went to Harry Potter Studios, availing of the free bus from Watford Train Station - get there early, as the queues can be quite lengthy. We treated ourselves to Afternoon Tea at the studios, my daughters was served in a little suitcase, I think she was more excited about the experience than the food, but she loved both! I’m a coeliac, and have to say, the attention to detail in what I received was incredible - beautifully themed at every stage of the afternoon tea experience. We decided to spend our third day exploring Watford and its surroundings - only to discover we would need a car to really explore the local attractions. But the town of Watford did not disappoint. The shopping centre offers something for everyone, great selection of shops, cafes, restaurants, activities for all of the family. Watford definitely did not disappoint with its food choices, a personal favourite was the Lounge Cafe - super cool places, delicious food, professional and friendly staff, great atmosphere! So nice, we returned twice in one day, and it was consistent with every visit! If you’re looking for somewhere to stay to visit Harry Potter Studios, the Holiday Inn is excellent. But, treat yourself to an extra night or two and explore Watford or take a trip into London, you’ll be glad that you did.

    We came for the Harry Potter tour but had a night to do what we like. we went to a restaurant called Il Pellegrino and the food was banging 👌 and also have a few drinks if that's what you're interested in there's seems to be plenty of choice. Not sure about other things as we're only there for one night. But it's a decent place.

    The town of Watford is a great area to stay if you want to be away from the large city. Watford Junction is so easy to catch train into London. Watford is a very walkable city. Plenty of restaurants and bars. The street market is wonderful.

    From being able to check in early to leaving with smiles on our faces our stay at the Watford holiday Inn was fantastic, the staff were very friendly and always there to help, the food was great especially the fish chips we had in the evening, the best I've tasted not from a proper chippy, I'd 100% recommend this holiday inn and I suspect every other holiday inn are the same, when I go on another trip the first place I am going to look to stay at is the holiday Inn, you lot have won me over.

    Friendly and very helpful staff (Sam), ideal location for trains / tube / Harry potter studio access. Watford Tube station and Watford junction about a 10 minute walk from the hotel. Great access to shops / restaurants / coffee shops. It's a decent location for everything that is needed. It was a very quiet location, even though we had the bedroom next to the road.
