Eviivo Small, Hertfordshire Hotels

interesting old hotel used by Henry the V111 new owner 14 months ago who is renovating to a high standard, staff very helpful, we were made very welcome which after a long drive made it feel worth while, we have already recommended this very nice hotel

My wife and I stayed 2 nights at the sword inn hand And had an excellent time. The pub/ bar is very welcoming and had a large selection of beers wine and spirits The staff were all very friendly and helpful We booked a four poster bed room and the room was well furnished, large and had all the comforts of a good four star hotel We had breakfast in the pub each morning and that was cooked fresh to order - nothing appeared to be too much trouble Overall impression of the whole weekend was an excellent one

We had a great weekend staying at Orchard House. We arrived as guests but Tiggy & Pete welcomed us into their home as they would friends. After a full day at IWM Duxford, they invited us to share a barbeque with them that evening (good food, great company and an amazing whisky collection), it was a brilliant way to end to the day.

A very comfortable bed in a fairly well equipped room but in my part of the house nor all the rooms are en-suite. The curtains were rather thin which in the summer could affect some light sleepers. Although close to a busy rood, I didn’t find the noise intrusive. A cooked breakfast is only available from 08:00, however the kitchen/dining room was laid up for an adequate cold meal, with the best blackberry jam I have tasted for years. The nearby Lion & Lamb pub is friendly and serves excellent food at a reasonable charge. Overall, it is a good value B&B handy for Stansted airport, without the facilities of an airport hotel but at a more sensible price. I plan to stay again. It is essential to phone before you arrive because someone from the pub has to pop over to check you in.

what a pleasant surprise this is a bed and breakfast with a difference it is like being lord of the manor what an amazing house the owners were very nice and friendly a pleasure to stay there the bathroom was bigger than my front room

Enjoyed our stay very much, would stay again when we travel down to Eurotunnel. The rooms were pretty, and very clean.The food from the pub across the road was very good.

Beautiful location, very friendly staff, great breakfast!

Wonderful historic old inn in a lovely little village. Staff are really nice and friendly. As our room wasn't ready when we arrived, we were upgraded to the room with a four poster bed which was very nice. Food in the bar was good and the locals made it a very enjoyable evening. Looking forward to going back again.

The sign on Station Rd is hard to spot. However, the place itself is fine. Down a twisty lane..... Plenty of info from host Malcolm.
