Absolutely loved our stay here. We stayed for the Beyoncé concert and the transport links were nearby and easily accessible, and staff were so helpful in navigating how to get to and from the stadium. The room was huge and had all necessary amenities, bed was super comfy and it was a quiet area. The hotel decor is lovely, and the staff were all fantastic. We will definitely return!

Good with some issues

Stay was very good with lovely grounds and surroundings. There were a couple of frustrations - there were no towels in my room and I had to go to reception to collect some, and there was a long wait at the restaurant; I waited 1.5 hours for a caesar salad (including 15 minutes waiting to be served). Otherwise a good stay and I would use them again.

8/10 Very good

I stayed here when it was Theobalds Park and the hotel is going through a full renovation which can make the place look totally unfinished. The only negative was that there was no work desk in my room - but I was told that this is going to be rectified and most room do have a desk. I would definitely stay again

Great, convenient and good price

It was great, Very convenient, quiet location and relaxing. I don’t know the details as to what was eco-friendly. Didn’t do breakfast as price was too high. Just have normal bedside tables, the wood stump and small box weren’t big enough or necessary.

An ok stay

We checked in late at night but the car park was so poorly lit that we couldn’t find reception, we ended up going through an open fire exit on the second floor. Although a hot day, the rooms were extremely stuffy and hot, making it uncomfortable to be in, despite there being a fan in the room. Bathroom facilities were average, powerful shower and nice towels. Friendly reception staff. Over priced for the experience we had.

One night trip

Room was basic but clean Bed pillows were very good comfy Food was nice but not much of a choice But was told only just re opened Luke was very good
Nick, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Amazing location, beautiful room and friendly staff. Only criticism would be the breakfast. I dont mind continental at all but the choice was very limited and for £20:i definitely would expect more variety.
Jayne, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice early check in. Walking a mile to work mainly through the beautiful grounds of what was a massive estate. The rooms were very nice and comfortable. The on site restaurant served an excellent selection of food. This hotel has only been open for 3 weeks but I’m sure it’s going to be a massive success! Great location!
William, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great service - New managers - New facilities

Excellent accommodation in the Restaurant accommodation block for wheelchair users. The shower room was luxurious with its double shower! New signage to find the restaurant block was better than my previous stay - but still needs a little improvement (the taxi driver dropped my friend at the Reception house). New disabled parking bays are great - but could be wider (to allow fully open car doors) and more clearly marked out. It is a great hotel in beautiful surroundings. I wish I had been able to know about the history of the buildings and the estate.

Should have Booked a Travelodge!!!!

Not a great place, stains on bed runner, cobwebs above the bed, dirty air inlet above the pillow end of the bed, the bed was uncomfortable and the pillows were like sleeping on a bag of spanners, there was no drinking water provided even though it was touching 30degress outside, we had to wait until 8am the following morning to get a drink from the restaurant. one of our party refused to stay there and actually drove home! I did raise a complaint to the hotel.
Niki, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This hotel is in a lovely setting. It hasn’t been opened long so there are a few areas that need to be developed more, but the staff are all so professional and deal with any issues fairly and efficiently. The restaurant staff especially Luke are a real asset to the hotel. Luke is so friendly but also very professional which is what made our meals in the restaurant so enjoyable. Compliments to the new chef , the fish pie was the best we have ever tasted. So often in reviews the cleaners do not get a mention so I want to say that Gemma who cleaned our room went above and beyond in her role. The hotel is really developing in the right direction and we look forward to experiencing this each time we stay in the future. Sally Waller.

Lovely stay - will be back

Lovely location. Stayed in the old part of the hotel which was a bit surprising as the pictures on the booking site didn't match the room my parents got. So, maybe update the booking form to reflect that. It wasn’t an issue for us. The room my parents got was big and nice. They enjoyed the bed and how peaceful it was. Unfortunately, the lift was out of order which was a problem as we had a very heavy suitcase to drag up the stairs. Again, we managed it. We didn't try the restaurant as we ran out of time sadly.

2/10 Poor

Low level customer service, Rode old lady in reception, but other receptionists were nice ladies. All rooms in this place has Toilet flashing issue. Bath has bad covering design, after taking shower you have the toilet floor full wet. And they do not do house keeping every day. They need some major refurbishment.
Danial, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Fine stay with nice staff.

Nice functional place to stay for a night. Room was fine and clean. Nice touches, staff were lovely and friendly also milk served in a bottle, nice pottery cups. Could be nicer by having a way to keep the milk cool, or and a coffee machine but they have Nescafé sachets. Felt like it was trying to be swanky but not quite there. Breakfast- continental was £12 and then charged extra £3 for coffee plus included £3.70 service charge for a help yourself breakfast. Breakfast was sparse and food not replenished so not much selection. Asked for yoghurt & marmalade but they didn’t have any. I don’t mind paying a service charge ( they bought more toast when I asked) but surprised that coffee wasn’t included with breakfast !
