Lovely staff very accommodating. Bathroom and small bed in need of an upgrade. Could be nice to have small fridge in room to store a cold drink or water. Nice bar food and lovely breakfast.

Friendly welcome all staff helpful and good breakfast included in the overnight stay. Our room needed a little bit of TLC as ceiling light broken and ceiling decor looked tired. But the rooms were clean, bed was comfortable, fresh clean towels provided and tea /coffee facilities well stocked. Overall a nice relaxing quiet stay and would be happy to use again

The staff are amazing and really made us feel welcome! The pub is great, with lots of history, good food and great service. The room itself is a bit dated, but clean with a comfortable bed. Love the old town location and 16th century history.

Rooms very small accessible room had doors not widened so only just got in. Says has good access ability but steps into pub area with two doors. Unable to use accessible toilet due to function in that area. All tables had reservations on them so unable to eat there on evening.

Air conditioning meant the windows remained closed and outside noise kept to a minimum, while keeping the air in the room fresh. Room was not on a main road, but next to a footpath. Beds were comfortable. Room and ensuite were clean. Wifi was poor, maybe due to old building having thick walls. No parking, but parked on the street to unload and check in. Inexpensive car park nearby. Great for one night's stay.

Great hotel but a couple of issues.

Charming and quirky old hotel. Friendly and efficient bar/check in staff. Spacious and clean room. Room 6 is due a refresh. Decor looking a bit tired. Slow service taking breakfast order and food not quite up to usual high standard.

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.

Avoid room 1 until they dirt out the fan noise.

Charming old coaching inn. I stay here regularly when visiting Hemel. The service and breakfast is always excellent. Room no 1 is one of the smallest and usually OK. On this occasion, there was a noisy fan outside the room which meant I didn’t get much sleep.
