A warm welcome on arrival. Slight hiccup checking in but otherwise it was fine. Lovely room. Excellent dinner, and lovely breakfast.

Bitterly cold.

Room was very cold. Air conditioning did not work. Convector heater in room (I assume as the air conditioning did not work) also would not turn on. This made for a very cold and uncomfortable trip on a cold January day.

We visited on New Year’s Eve and were disappointed to discover, upon arrival, that no food service was available that evening—something we should have been informed of in advance, given the lack of nearby restaurants. Additionally, a New Year’s event meant the bar was closed, and there was nowhere to sit and enjoy a drink, which was highly inconvenient. As a result, we had to leave the hotel to make alternative arrangements for the evening. The property is outdated and in need of refurbishment.

A few little bits and pieces need addressing

Hotel check in was average, staff all appeared to be very young and lacking general courtesy such as letting us know where the bar area was, what time breakfast was and anything about the facilities. All a bit hurried and keen to get rid of us to our room. Staff pleasant but just a little bit of extra training would be good. Room was very clean but run down. Walllpaper peeling off wall, damp on the ceiling, radiators up as high as they would go and thermostat controllers had snapped off so no way to turn them down. The bathroom bin was broken. Just little things but lets the hotel down as a beautiful location.

Extremely poor and needs updating

Our double room was two single beds pushed together with no mattress topper. It was the hardest and most uncomfortable bed we have ever slept in - we could feel the springs. Furniture was extremely old with missing handles, marks on surfaces and a table that couldn’t be used as it wasn’t level. Room service said to call for food but there was no phone - just a cable coming out of the socket with nothing on the end. Poor heating - a plug in electric heater was available. Lighting was awful, and very dim. Extractor in the bathroom was pointless. Breakfast was average. We have stayed on a few other occasions for functions at the manor, and only stayed again for ease of location.

Overall very nice

The hotel itself is stunning and feels like it's truly in the countryside despite being not too far a distance from Hemel Hempstead, St Albans, Aylesbury, etc. The manor room was beautiful and very spacious with a comfortable bed. The food at the restaurant was also extremely good - we ended up eating there each night because of how tasty everything was. My only complaint is the water in the room - it would only last for about 1-2 minutes before stopping completely for about 4 or 5 minutes (no matter whether it was the sink, bathtub or shower) which was really inconvenient and annoying. I'm not sure if this is a regular occurrence or if there was some type of issue. Regardless, everything else was nice and we enjoyed our stay here.

Should be a great hotel. The staff work hard but having a broken toilet in the bridal suite, is unacceptable. When reported on check out I was told they would look at it. Not a great customer experience. A lift out of order is another sign of what is happening at this hotel

The venue took the money even though I'd cancelled. Then I called the hotel and was informed that I would be issued a refund. However when Expedia contacted them, they refused. £155.

I enjoyed my first visit here for a business trip and will probably book it again as I felt safe and the staff were great. The only downside for me was That the whole hotel felt like it needed some TLC. I didn’t spend much time in the room but it was nice and large but my windows were dirty. Unfortunately the shower in my bathroom was dreadful. I did mention it when leaving the hotel so they could look into it.
