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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
