Good location and friendly staff, but let down by a broken air conditioner, spiders in the room, and a poor night’s slee
Pros:

The location was great, and the staff were friendly

Cons:

I was placed in room 61, where the air conditioning wasn’t working during a hot spell — the fact that a standing fan had already been left in the room suggests staff were aware of the issue. There were also several large spiders on the ceiling, which was unpleasant given my fear of them. Between the heat, the fan noise, and the spiders, I struggled to sleep. Breakfast was also quite basic.

Pros:

Great location for work in Hemel Hempstead, good sized comfortable room, very quiet. And located on a golf course but unfortunately it was too hot for a round at the end of the day, maybe next time.

Cons:

The Air conditioning wasn't working in my room or the part of the building I was in, but fans were provided so it wasn't unbearable.
I ate in the restaurant on the first night, but not a second time.

Amazing staying with a bit of extra heat in the room
Pros:

Size, comfort, romantic vibes, bath, shower and bed were absolutely amazing! It's a really nice hotel for a couple indeed.
Also, the restaurant breakfast was incredible. It was really good.

Cons:

The only problem we experienced in the hotel was that it was very warm in the room and apart from and old fashioned fan, there is nothing to cool it down (we had all possible windows opened), and it took a little while until luckily it got cooler by itself (around 2-3am)

Shockingly affordable and high quality
Pros:

Beautiful, cared for building and gardens. Air con in the dining area, fantastic evening meal ( reasonably priced too, not sure what the other reviews mean by expensive food)
Comfy bed.... Ok I stayed on the hottest day in June on record and the manor house is centuries old - pee dates air con I reckon. So it's uncomfortably hot. But not the hotel's fault

Cons:

Nothing

A lovely venue.
Pros:

Staff were polite and professional. A beautiful and well maintained historic building and grounds. Everything was spotless.

Cons:

There should have been bottled water in the bedrooms.
Additionally the double bed was very small for a double.
It made a warm night rather uncomfortable for two fully-grown adults of normal size.
