All the making to be an amazing venue

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.

Lovely setting, cute stable rooms near M25

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.

Good with some issues

Stay was very good with lovely grounds and surroundings. There were a couple of frustrations - there were no towels in my room and I had to go to reception to collect some, and there was a long wait at the restaurant; I waited 1.5 hours for a caesar salad (including 15 minutes waiting to be served). Otherwise a good stay and I would use them again.

Should have Booked a Travelodge!!!!

Not a great place, stains on bed runner, cobwebs above the bed, dirty air inlet above the pillow end of the bed, the bed was uncomfortable and the pillows were like sleeping on a bag of spanners, there was no drinking water provided even though it was touching 30degress outside, we had to wait until 8am the following morning to get a drink from the restaurant. one of our party refused to stay there and actually drove home! I did raise a complaint to the hotel.

An ok stay

We checked in late at night but the car park was so poorly lit that we couldn’t find reception, we ended up going through an open fire exit on the second floor. Although a hot day, the rooms were extremely stuffy and hot, making it uncomfortable to be in, despite there being a fan in the room. Bathroom facilities were average, powerful shower and nice towels. Friendly reception staff. Over priced for the experience we had.
