Lovely pub/hotel stay
Pros:

We were attending a family wedding and our overnight at The Red Lion was a great choice. Check in easy, room was very comfortable and clean with lovely furnishings. The mattress was very comfortable and I had a great nights sleep. Staff very friendly and the full Monty breakfast was delicious. A great experience and worth the money.

Staff very friendly and helpful. Rooms well appointed and very clean. Great alternative to staying in central London as secure parking and only 30 mins on direct train. We also visited St Albans from here and really enjoyed it.

Cons:

Nothing negative to say about it.

lovely stay in Radlett
Pros:

Lovely room, super helpful, professional and kind staff. Loved the aircon, good size bathroom, and the coffee service is great. Location excellent right across from the train station and amenities on the high street are within easy reach. Only comment would be that, as in most English pub hotels, there is no wardrobe, chest of drawers, or even clothes hangers to put stuff out, so it's live from the open suitcase kind of thing, which is not my personal favorite. Would be nice to have a bit more space/amenities to unpack. But altogether a lovely experience and will definitely return!
