The location was central and the room very comfortable. It is an older hotel, though. The window in my bathroom would not close so I had to have the heater on high. There is no dedicated hotel staff so not as much service as other hotels. But breakfast was great, and we dis enjoy our stay.

Excellent stay

The bedrooms were well decorated and comfortable. The staff were all very friendly and efficient, and the manager/owner was very accommodating to our groups requests. Only downside is no car park, but you can park for free a couple of mins walk away and wasn't really an issue for us

The room was beautiful with a comfortable bed and huge bath. Staff kindly let me check in early as I was going to a local function. The pub itself looked very nice as well. My room looked out over the garden and it was a summer evening so the staff told me it might be a little noisy until closing time. But I didn't find it noisy and was then very quiet during the night. A very nice place to stay but quite expensive.

Lovely Pub/Hotel - No Parking

Hotel/Pub very nice - staff super friendly. Would stay again when in Harpenden for sure. That said Only issues I had - Parking. Harpenden in general is awful and there isn't much in the way of long term parking near the hotel that I could find. Also when I checked in - I hadn't realised I paid vis Hotes.com and ended up paying again at the hotel - still trying to sort out but that is more down to me keep missing the manager - they have been helpful.
