Gem in the making
What an amazing place this will be once the renovation is complete. The rooms are super cool, they need a little bit of a tidy and a little more attention on the cleanliness, but a gem in the making! My kids LOVED the bunk beds.
If I’m in the local area, this is my go to accommodation a fantastic historic building very friendly staff safe to park your car and a good restaurant 10 out of 10
Lovely Hotel recently opened, my only gripe is they didn’t change the bins or towels in 4 days we were there.
Had dinner in the restaurant and it was exceptional food.
The staff were fantastic, had an amazing gym and it was a great stay just not perfect.
After getting a bit lost with Apple Maps we arrived via a country lane with google maps. Still very conveniently located a short drive from M25 and Hertfordshire zoo. Apple Maps seem to take you to the other side of carriageway, beware.
This didn’t feel like a hotel, really quirky with lovely surroundings. Very clean and modern. Loved the big old trees in the grounds. Tea & coffee bags in the rooms were lovely quality and nice mugs. Toiletries smelt lovely too. Only issue we had was I couldn’t turn hot tap on, was so stiff that my son had to do it and the bathroom door stuck. These were small issues for a very very lovely stay. I will be back.
Overall, the stay was pleasant - we checked in late after a party and checked out on time.
The room was spacious, but (perhaps because it was a mobility access room), it felt like a hospital room refurbished into a hotel.
