Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Nice enough place with a lot of character, but rather pricey for what they offer, and the lack of parking is a serious problem for overnight stays. A nearby car park had machines that weren't working (and a fraudulant parking app that forced me to cancel my debit card), I had to find places to park on the street and move the car around, etc. Not exactly a relaxing expeience
No parking was a real problem was told to park on high street but no spaces took three quarters of hour to find a spot and late for dinner engagement that was arranged for me.

Good location
Ok, convenient location. Needs some maintenance to the room. Not sure i really recieved the room i paid for.
Noisy due to pub regulars etc on fri night but i knew this would be a problem.
Booked through Expedia and it clearly showed that the property provides a free breakfast but on arrival we were told we had to pay extra for breakfast.
This was a lovely overnight spot. Rooms were well appointed with nice amenities. Clean and cozy. Breakfast was good, especially appreciated meal was included. Highly recommend.
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.
Staff were nice, room was ok, but i was at the front of the building with a very busy road, noisy all night with single pane glass windows. Also don't plan on eating on a Monday, they don't do food then.
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.

Needed a shower after a long day of hiking only to find out the room had no hot water. There was no telephone in the room so went back down to report the issue. The manager came up to check and confirmed no hot water in all the rooms but all should be ok in 20 minutes. That never happened. Ended up having a cold shower. Resulted to boiling water 5 kettle of water the next morning as a makeshift. Not pleased with the manager’s attitude either. Will definitely not use again.
If you must use the hotel ask for room at the back. Street side noisy with traffic and people leaving the pub.
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
