Great little B&B

Samantha, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A lovely nights stay.

Lovely 1 night stay as part of a business trip. Staff very friendly, ate evening meal in the pub downstairs - a laminated menu but great tasting pizza! Breakfast included in the price was good size portions. All in all will stay again when next in the area.

Great place and Great staff

Brilliant stay made all the more better by Michelle, who made my wife and I feel really welcome. Her enthusiasm was infectious. Definitely will be back again
Aaron, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

There was a warm and friendly welcome at this Inn with rooms - great location in the old town with historic buildings and a cluster of great restaurants - recommend the Cochin - a South Indian restaurant - Michelle at breakfast makes everyone feel welcome. Rooms small, simple, very clean with nice en-suite.
Andrew, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Charming coaching inn.

Friendly staff and impressive 16th century coaching Inn on the cobbled old town high street. Bedroom was small, but not uncomfortably so. Shower head was split causing water to spray everywhere except where it was needed! Small bath towels.
John, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was lovely, bathroom a bit tired looking.

Helpful staff

Very helpful breakfast staff and chief made pancakes special for my son even though not on menu
Kathleen, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lots of character

Great hotel and full of character. A nice change from the corporate chains. However, this is in a busy town centre so there is lots of noise, both from the creaking floorboards and early morning bon men.
MR P A, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A bit quirky but lots of character.

Comfortable bed and good shower. It would be great if it had double glazing to reduce street noise. Also the emergency lights never switch off completely. Could be a problem if you are used to total darkness to sleep.
Paul, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

One night stay

Good position. Evening food was reasonable, breakfast was ample and good. Mattress sagged a little and daughter said her mattress uneven. Wifi did not walk all the time we were there. Provider "had been called" but didn't get it operational before we left.
Trevor, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was fabulous, beams and full of character. The bec was very comfy, especially the woollen blanket! There was a fair bit of dust around. The bath was grubby. The shower headwould not stay up. The menu for me was limited as I am a lactose intolerant coeliac but the chef did manage to conjure up a gluten free pizza base with vegan cheese, so full marks for him for effort!
Martin, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Been using this pub/hotel since it was first opened by the mother and son combo, stepping over off cuts of carpet and other things on the snagging list to get the place up and running. Have been back many times to visit my daughter who lives just up the road but this visit was a disappointment. The place needs a refurb, doors don't close, furniture damaged and things like the wrong light bulbs used in some areas. All top off by a 45 minute wait for breakfast, shame really.
Mr Peter, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean room and good heating
Angela, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great hotel but a couple of issues.

Charming and quirky old hotel. Friendly and efficient bar/check in staff. Spacious and clean room. Room 6 is due a refresh. Decor looking a bit tired. Slow service taking breakfast order and food not quite up to usual high standard.
Paul, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Avoid room 1 until they dirt out the fan noise.

Charming old coaching inn. I stay here regularly when visiting Hemel. The service and breakfast is always excellent. Room no 1 is one of the smallest and usually OK. On this occasion, there was a noisy fan outside the room which meant I didn’t get much sleep.

Tricia’s Review

Overnighted at this historical and characterful abode. Great hospitality in a unique setting.
Patricia, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Needs some work but could be a nice place.

The staff was great and Polite. No parking available had to walk 5 mins to carpark that you could only pay till 6pm then it was free till 8am but had to go back to get another ticket if you was planing on not leaving till after 8am. The place need a bit of freshing up. Stairs to my room was very steep and narrow. The room was ok but needed some work. The shower only had one temperature and that was cold. But the bath water got hot so not end of the world. Heating in my room, was either to hot or cold. Bath room needs a clean and lick of paint. Food, The cooked breckfast was alright not amazing. Coffee was horrible. Creamy mushroom starter was nice but a bit oily, stake and chips main, chips not cooked enough was hard and not sure what they put on the stake to cook but it ruined the taste.

Overnight stay in Hemel Hempstead

Real ale pub with a cracking breakfast Plenty of on street parking opposite Plenty of restaurants nearby Friendly staff
David, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The least corporate hotel in Hemel.

A welcome change to the usual chain hotels. Loads of charm, albeit with creaky floors and dodgy plumbing.
Paul, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Away for work

This was a 1-night stay for work. I was in room 3, which was at the rear of the pub. The room was small with not a lot of floor space (which was okay for 1 night). Heating was from an air conditioner in ceiling, so could not have on over night as it made a noise. Ensuite was cold (this was in December) and just about alright for size. Wifi was good. There was a green exit light above the door which meant the room was not dark when lights off. Breakfast is included and starts at 7am, but on my stay I had to wait until 7:30 for my cooked breakfast and I was the only person waiting for breakfast
