Having said that the restaurant more than makes up for the room. The head waiter is very experienced and his suggestion of wine was extremely appreciated. The food and service is superb although cost is on the high side - about £35 for 3 course meal plus drinks, the breakfast is £15.

What I am doing though is giving an extra star for the restaurant attached to the place which is called Thyme. We didn't arrive 'till about half eight in the evening so after dumping our bags in the room we went straight for some grub. I opted for the build your own pizza (I went for bacon,pepperoni and chicken) and when it arrived it also came topped with rocket,and I can hobestly say it was the nicest pizza that I have ever had away from a dedicated pizza/Italian place! Ange went for the burger option and I can't remember it's name or what was on it,but she really enjoyed it! Cooked to perfection and the side order of twice cooked chips were also pretty good. In fact so big was the burger,some of the chips were left! In the morning the breakfast was typical fare ,all cooked well and nice tasting. Yep,a good place to stay,and a great place to eat....

I went here for lunch with a work colleague, so my review is based on just eating not on a hotel…read morestay. When we got there, there were no staff behind the bar, just one cleaning tables, so we went and asking him if they did food, he just incoherently grumbled, but we spotted a menu so grabbed it and took a seat. We made our choices and went to the bar to order. After standing there quite awkwardly for some time - in the meantime my friend was walking around the bar and the whole restaurant trying to find someone - someone came out to fill up the soft drinks on the bar, completely oblivious to me standing there and didn't even acknowledge me. My friend kept on her search; she found someone and asked if we could make an order. Still no joy, so I asked the guy filling up the cabinet if I could place my order, he couldn't but someone else would come shortly and off he disappeared. Eventually, same grumbling person we spoke to at first came to take our order. "Yes", "hmm" "umm" then told me the amount due. So not overally impressed. Considering it was rather dead you would think that one of the multiple members of staff, some quite obviously managers mincing around the place would have saved me quarter of an hour standing there like a prune and asked/taken our order. I returned to our table to await the panini's of choice. Over 40 minutes later and they were served. My friend ordered a mozzarella and tomato, mine was baked ham, mustard and 3 cheese. However, it was quite clear that my friend got all the cheese, and I had a smidge of cheddar in mine with dried crispy ends with nothing at all in it. I asked the waitress if she wouldn't mind putting some more cheese in it and putting it in the microwave, no need to cook a fresh one. This lady was lovely friendly and polite, just a shame that she wasn't the one working behind the bar. She returned with my amended panini all smiles and very lovely. My friend couldn't enjoy hers as she had basically 2 paninis worth of cheese in one and it was all too much. The coleslaw that was served with it looked like it had been left out on the side in the heat for a week and so neither of us entertained eating that! £24.15 for 2 paninis and 2 soft drinks and waiting an age for something that should have been out in a fifth of the time results in this review. It would be 1 star if it wasn't for the lovely lady with the smiles that sorted my panini out! I won't bother going back, which is a shame as my office is 2 minutes up the road, but let's face it, who has a 2 hour lunch break in order to eat a panini?!

Don't stay here for many reasons!!…read more I have been backpacking through Europe the past two weeks and found this hotel for a great price. My friend and I wanted to save money so we thought this would be a good hotel to stay in while London. Well I would have rather stayed in a hostel! 1) it advertises as being a hotel next to transportation. However, you have to take a taxi or city bus to get to the train station!! It is about a 35-40 minute walk along a busy bypass so i don't recommend it. And then the train line from elstree nth mown as the "bed Pan" line to the locals because it is known to be delayed or cancelled. So you have to prepare for either waiting around at the station or being late to wherever you have to go. It also costs 15 pounds during peak hours to get anywhere, 8 pounds during off peak hours. 2) before booking the hotel it said "complimentary breakfast included" but when we got here they said the breakfast was 10 pounds each. When i told the receptionist, nicholas, it said included he asked "do you have a document to prove it?" I had talked to 4 other people staying at the hotel and they all said they same thing. Clearly, the hotel advertises free services knowing people will expect them but will not have documents to prove it. Terrible. Service is terrible, it's not close to anything (just a gas station about 10 min walking), and they don't follow through with their services offered. Spend the extra money staying elsewhere. Or save your money and stay at a hostel--you'll get your moneys worth there.

Nice comfy bed. The room and facilities are nice and clean…read more The walls are made of paper. If someone's talking in the corridor, in another room or outside, you can hear it. Doors opening and closing all night, footsteps constantly. At around half 11 we had a group of people in the car park drinking and being loud, nothing was said. After an hour I slammed the window shut and they got the hint. There's a Toby Carvery right next door that you can access without going outside which was very convenient. It's a nice hotel but the noise really lets it down.

Rooms are all unique, with comfortable beds, feather pillows and duvets. Bathrroms have both a rainfall shower stall and a separate tub. They have flat screen tv with a reasonable amount of channels. Wifi is available throughout the hotel. They also have a nice tea/coffee tray in each room. The grounds are extensive and great for exploring or walking. You will see wild game when exploring (we saw a pheasant the other day!) Facilities include a bar and restaurant, and they do have facilities for small events. We do love it here and will be back. They made us feel quite at home. Very easy to get to from major routes.
