Adventure Sport Hotels in Hertfordshire from NZ$137

"1. Hotels.com description for a Superior Room is 31 sq m, with a seating area with a sofa and chairs. Ours (room 275) was tiny, with room for a desk and a chair in the corner. Yet, Front Desk assured us this was a Superior Room. 2. Getting hot water out of the shower is non-trivial. Initially we had to complain to get the boiler restarted, then we had to ask for someone to come to the room to explain how to operate the shower tap (involved aligning the lever at a particular angle combined with pushing and turning the temperature knob). Instructions in the bathroom would be helpful. 3. No hairdryer in the room, had to call and request. When the attendant arrived, he asked to check our wardrobe as if he didn't believe us. 4. Breakfast, if ordered on Hotels.com at time of booking, seems to be £20 per room. If ordered in person on the morning, it's more than twice the price, £22 per person. So plan accordingly! 5. Lots of stairs. Our room was only accessible via stairs, which can be tiring depending on how much luggage you have. 6. The grounds are fairly nice. The peacocks are striking, through depending on their mood (and, presumably, the season), they do get into shouting matches with each other which can make for a less-than-tranquil experience on the lawns. Thankfully most rooms are well-insulated and the noise is a lot softer. The lawns therefore are fertilized with healthy amounts of peacock droppings. And occasionally some of the tabletops in the lawn area, too."

"Attended for a wedding, lovely gardens on a sunny day Unfortunately mix up with rooms and no accesss for those who find it hard to walk long distances and climb stairs"

"We had a really nice stay here. Obviously, because of the work going on it’s not perfect but we read the reviews and, to be honest, we expected worse than we encountered. The room was good with the biggest bed ever. The work was mainly confined to the reception area. The restaurant and bar area is really nice with alfresco dining. It’s all set in beautiful grounds. We will definitely come back. "

"Staff were very friendly and welcoming. The included breakfast was very good too!"

"After an intial check in issue found the hotel once again with clean rooms comfortable beds and still in a great location. Special mention to the new duty manager who solved the initial issue in a proffesional and emphatic manner . Credit to the hotel and company. Breakfast a welcome start to the day plenty choice and ckean food area "

"Room Clean, not that many staff available, didn’t use bar, parking good. "

"Room was beautiful, bathroom fully stocked, evening meal was really nice, reasonably priced, breakfast was lovely too, lots of choice. Would recommend for a nice night away "

"The Police arrested a man and handcuffed him and my Daughter saw this as the commotion banged against our door at 21:00. The fan oin the room had the electric elements exposed as it was broken and took ages to get it replaced. the finish of the mirror was hanging off and there was an iron burn mark in the carpet. Dust blowing off the fan. A disgrace."

"Breakfast was amazing! Happy we changed our mind and decided to eat there on our last day. The rooms were very clean and maintained, and the facilities are pretty modern. Staff was helpful and nice"
