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.

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.

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

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!

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.
