The room booked as a deluxe twin room. Arrived and got a room with 2 beds and smelled the kitchen
Lovely staff very accommodating.
Bathroom and small bed in need of an upgrade. Could be nice to have small fridge in room to store a cold drink or water. Nice bar food and lovely breakfast.
The staff are amazing and really made us feel welcome! The pub is great, with lots of history, good food and great service.
The room itself is a bit dated, but clean with a comfortable bed. Love the old town location and 16th century history.
Lovely little hotel/inn, very friendly staff and service. Would definitely stay again but just wish the midweek breakfast times were a little longer

Friendly welcome all staff helpful and good breakfast included in the overnight stay.
Our room needed a little bit of TLC as ceiling light broken and ceiling decor looked tired.
But the rooms were clean, bed was comfortable, fresh clean towels provided and tea /coffee facilities well stocked.
Overall a nice relaxing quiet stay and would be happy to use again
The room was really spacious, clean with a very comfortable bed. The breakfast included was really good, freshly cooked and the staff where all really nice and helpful.
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.

The least corporate hotel in Hemel.
A welcome change to the usual chain hotels. Loads of charm, albeit with creaky floors and dodgy plumbing.
