Suited our needs in every respect (except wait in restaurant) (107128973)

positive comments We were pleased to found "you" - it is our sort of 'place'
negative comments We did have to wait a bit too long for our food in the restaurant - which made us later for bed than we would otherwise have wished

David from Worcester, US (Mature couple) 17 July 2008

We had the best nights sleep in two weeks of travelling, so everything else really didn't matter. It was a really lovely hotel, and we enjoyed our stay and the town which we walked around a little, the hotel is close to the station and a small supermarket, and the directions given were easy to follow. (108023140)

positive comments A very comfortable room, the shower worked very well, the shampoo and supplies were generous, there was a hairdryer to use. Check-in was fairly easy and we were able to get an everning meal in the pub, which was quite good. We got the best nights sleep for our whole vacation and the curtains kept out all the light.
negative comments We were not given a reciept at check-in and had to ask for it the next morning, also it would have been nice to be told where breakfast would be held when we checked in. The room needed redecorating, with dark stains on the wall paper from the heater, also there was mould on the bath surround and the vent in the bathroom was full of dust, not big deals but seemed to show a lack of attention to the details. There were no face cloths provided.

kenneth from Stockport, GB (Mature couple) 27 March 2008

Overall, we were satisfied with the accomodation and food during our three night stay. As stated, the beds could do with renewing, and the floorboards need attending to. (97304097)

positive comments The bedroom and en-suite bathroom were adequate
negative comments The creaking floorboards. The Beds were lumpy

positive comments The location was super. A great place to stay when visiting the locality as well as convenient for the train to London. Radlett has a great range of shops and restaurants.
negative comments The state of the decoration was poor in public halls and stairways and the lights in half of our room did not work.

Carole from Carlisle, GB (Mature couple) 23 May 2007

The cost of the accommodation reflected the condition of the building but this could be so much better with some investment in the structure. Staff and food were excellent. (99113579)

positive comments Central to Radlett with very good bar and restaurant facilities
negative comments Everything was very shabby and the building was in need of structural work to eradicate the damp and peeling plaster etc.

I could not fault this hotel. The room was clean and spacious with every facility provided. First class full English breakfast was included in the price. The staff were always polite and helpful. Pub bar sold quality beer. The hotel has character, as does Radlett town centre. All this within easy reach of London. Fantastic value. (99122071)

positive comments Clean spacious room. Excellent breakfast. Character of the hotel. Bar with quality beer. Comfortable bed. Polite helpful staff.

Sean from Greenwich, United Kingdom;GB (Mature couple) 26 October 2006

Given that the hotal is part of a pub, the rooms were quiet and we were not disturbed by noise from the bar areas. Staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful. A good hotel for an overnight stay for leisure purposes. I wouldn't recommend the hotel for corporate travellers on the basis of the room I stayed in as it had no facilities for working. (3305519967)

positive comments Close proximity to the venue of the concert attended. In-house restaurant.
negative comments Smoking in the public bars.

The room was small, but perfectly adequate as it was used for sleeping not holding a party. The staff were polite and courteous at all times. Road noise was inconvenient but fortunately the room had efficient double glazing and air conditioning. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel, notleast for the gorgeous fluffy towels and comfortable bed . (3304798067)

This is a pub with rooms rather than a hotel but for the cost bearing in mind it's closeness to the M25 it was fair value for money. (3304673897)

positive comments Hotel location great in a lovely village. Facilities average and hotel a little tired.
negative comments Very noisy due to being on main road.

We only needed to stay for 1 night but if we happen to be in the area in future we would definately choose this hotel. It was clean and the staff were very friendly. It suited our needs as it is within 5 minutes walking distance to the Golf Club where we were attending a function, and it is in the centre of the town with a car park. (3304393746)
