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

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

21 Sep 2024
We had booked for two nights, but we only stayed for one. I booked a twin room, but got one with a double bed and a single bed. The single bed was really uncomfortable, just a thin mattress over lumpy springs, so we couldn’t use it. The double bed was fine but the pillows were hard. The bathroom looked as though it had been refurbished, but the sink had a crack and the plug hole was dirty. The worst thing was the shower door. The plastic edging was filthy with green mould around the bottom. The pub was in need of refurbishment, the window frames were rotten and the stone floor behind where I was sitting had crumbled. The food was fine and staff were lovely. I would not go back and we left afte4 one night because nothing felt very clean.

We had an amazing stay. My friend and i took my daughter to harry potter studios, which was just 15 minutes away. The room was comfortable and clean, maybe just needs redecorating.
The staff were all very friendly and helpful and the food was great.
The area around the hotel was beautiful, well looked after with a beautiful park and play area.

Quirky place. Lots more atmosphere than the usual chain hotels. Great breakfast and friendly staff. Usual creaky floorboards and dodgy plumbing you find in old buildings. Could use dimmer lights in the emergency “alway on” lights in the bedroom and double glazing to keep the town noise out.

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.

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.

Full of character and well worth a visit.
Lovely hotel and full of character. Makes a great change to the usual corporate clone hotels. Really friendly people and freshly cooked quality breakfast. It would be great if the fans in adjacent rooms could be replaced. They sound pretty ancient and are really noisy. As a light sleeper this makes it difficult to get a good night’s sleep.

I was expecting some noise as the property is a part of a busy pub in a popular area. There was no noise whatsoever.
Check in was fuss free and casual. Comfy bed and decent shower.

Great little stay
We was greeted by a guy behind the bar. Saying we had a booking, he put a little sign out saying he would be back soon. He then took us to our room. My wife has walking disability. But, he just took his time and waited. Shame the weekend breakfast time was not before 8.30 am. But, the stay was still very good. even with window open, didnt hear much noise at all.
