We had an amazing stay. My friend and i took my daughter to harry potter studios, which was just 15 minutes away. The room was comfortable and clean, maybe just needs redecorating. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and the food was great. The area around the hotel was beautiful, well looked after with a beautiful park and play area.

Friendly welcome all staff helpful and good breakfast included in the overnight stay. Our room needed a little bit of TLC as ceiling light broken and ceiling decor looked tired. But the rooms were clean, bed was comfortable, fresh clean towels provided and tea /coffee facilities well stocked. Overall a nice relaxing quiet stay and would be happy to use again

Air conditioning meant the windows remained closed and outside noise kept to a minimum, while keeping the air in the room fresh. Room was not on a main road, but next to a footpath. Beds were comfortable. Room and ensuite were clean. Wifi was poor, maybe due to old building having thick walls. No parking, but parked on the street to unload and check in. Inexpensive car park nearby. Great for one night's stay.

Charming old coaching inn. I stay here regularly when visiting Hemel. The service and breakfast is always excellent. Room no 1 is one of the smallest and usually OK. On this occasion, there was a noisy fan outside the room which meant I didn’t get much sleep.

The staff was great and Polite. No parking available had to walk 5 mins to carpark that you could only pay till 6pm then it was free till 8am but had to go back to get another ticket if you was planing on not leaving till after 8am. The place need a bit of freshing up. Stairs to my room was very steep and narrow. The room was ok but needed some work. The shower only had one temperature and that was cold. But the bath water got hot so not end of the world. Heating in my room, was either to hot or cold. Bath room needs a clean and lick of paint. Food, The cooked breckfast was alright not amazing. Coffee was horrible. Creamy mushroom starter was nice but a bit oily, stake and chips main, chips not cooked enough was hard and not sure what they put on the stake to cook but it ruined the taste.

This was a 1-night stay for work. I was in room 3, which was at the rear of the pub. The room was small with not a lot of floor space (which was okay for 1 night). Heating was from an air conditioner in ceiling, so could not have on over night as it made a noise. Ensuite was cold (this was in December) and just about alright for size. Wifi was good. There was a green exit light above the door which meant the room was not dark when lights off. Breakfast is included and starts at 7am, but on my stay I had to wait until 7:30 for my cooked breakfast and I was the only person waiting for breakfast
