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.

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.
