A Restorative Place To Stay During One Of Wales’ Greatest Sporting Weekends
Each summer, Pembrokeshire plays host to Long Course Weekend Wales, the biggest multisport festival in Europe. This three-day celebration of endurance sport is set against some of the county’s most dramatic coastal scenery. With swimming, cycling and running events centred around Tenby, the weekend draws athletes and supporters from across the UK and beyond, all sharing in the energy and achievement that define this remarkable event.
Whether you’re taking part in the challenge yourself or travelling to support friends and family, Grove of Narberth offers comfortable and luxurious rooms and suites in Pembrokeshire. We offer a relaxing contrast to the buzz of race weekend, and a welcoming retreat at the end of each day
A Weekend That Brings Pembrokeshire To Life
Long Course Weekend Wales is made up of three headline events: an open-water swim along Tenby’s North Beach, a cycle route through the rolling Pembrokeshire countryside, and a running event that winds through Tenby’s historic streets and coastline. The atmosphere across the county is electric, with spectators lining the routes and the town coming alive with celebration.
For participants, it’s a weekend of focus, effort and achievement. For supporters, it’s a chance to experience Pembrokeshire at its most vibrant, with coastal views, café stops and plenty of moments to cheer competitor’s home.
Staying At Grove During Long Course Weekend
Grove of Narberth is a luxurious place to stay during Long Course Weekend. You can find us located near Narberth in south Pembrokeshire, approximately a 20-25 minute drive from Tenby, depending on traffic and road closures during the event.
While not in the centre of the action, Grove offers something many guests value during a busy sporting weekend: space, quiet and the chance to properly rest and refuel.
Our boutique country house hotel is set within mature gardens and woodland, with individually designed rooms, thoughtful hospitality and fine-dining experiences shaped by Welsh produce and the seasons. Many guests choose Grove as a base for Long Course Weekend to balance early starts and busy days with restorative evenings, good food and comfortable surroundings.
For those taking part in Long Course Weekend, Grove also offers the option to book in-room massage and spa treatments, designed to help soothe tired muscles and aid recovery after a demanding day of racing or spectating. Treatments can be enjoyed in the privacy of your room, allowing you to fully relax and recover without leaving the calm of the house.
It’s a gentle way to support both body and mind during a high-energy weekend, whether you’re preparing for an event, easing post-race aches, or simply unwinding after a day cheering from the sidelines. These treatments need pre-booking and are subject to availability.
