Food for thought.

I wasnt going to leave a review, im aware they have recently tsken over the property but the decor of the rooms isnt really becoming of its stately surroundings. The high ceilings with cold concrete floors were not very inviting and paint over the bathroom tiles, well it looks cheap to be frank. The above was my impression that was going to stay with me until i noticed on my receipts from the bar you had the cheek to add a service charge to drinks purchased That really took the biscuit especially as i stood at the bar to order the drinks along with returning the empties and at no time did anyone mention the sneaky charge.

Nice little place to stay outside the hustle and bustle We used it as a base for tottenham hotspur stadium for post malone Its clean and tidy Pleasant quiet nights sleep on a comfortable bed and good pillow. My only issue is my fault... i didnt research before hand how far the tube/train station is so you have to get an uber/taxi to the station and then get the train to the stadium for the event This was easy enough but extra costs and hassle of not being 1 journey Otherwise its a good spot for a reasonable price

Super modern in a contemporary style. Lots of beautiful interior touches. Lovely staff. Massive bed. Oozes character. Great value for money. Booked after a days activity at Lea valley - close and easy to get to from hotel in car. Short drive to Waltham cross station if you fancy getting a train a couple of stops into Stratford for shopping. Would visit again. Thanks

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.

3 day family visit

Amazing venue; we had a great family room; undergoing modernisation but we loved the rustic, original feel of the place.
