I've stayed here a few times whilst on business but my patience has finally run out. Whilst staying last week I went to bed, my room was on the ground floor, having opened my window only to find someone sitting outside my window. I went outside to move him away - looked like he was a vagrant. Not 30 minutes... More

This is a very good hotel for the busienss user, and I must say I can't understand why it isn't rated more highly. I stayed here on business for just one night. I will stay again. The value for money is fantastic when compared with the big chains nearby in Hemel. I stayed in a superior room, which was clean,... More

Good clean hotel, bar and menu a bit limited, but food is good. Stream running under the bar with the waterfall is an interesting feature. Free WIFI is useful although it is a bit slow, and signal in the room was weak.

The rooms have the feel of a motel with the outside entrance to the rooms. Clean enough inside with shower only. Awoken by the sound of geese on the picturesque river which flows directly below the window. Decent staff, plenty of parking.
