The hotel is centrally located in the bustling town of Berkhamsted, making it convenient for exploring the area. The rooms are spacious with a good size bathroom and adequate provisions, though improvements could be made to the heating system. The service was exceptional, easily accommodating my request for a very early breakfast without any hassle. However, the location being on a public footpath could lead to some noise disturbances. Dining options were satisfactory with included biscuits, adding a nice touch to the experience.
