What a peaceful location but does need a car or taxi to reach it. Beautiful Tudor building and surroundings. Room was supposed to be a twin but it was a very large. Myself and my friend didn't mind because we knew it was only one night and it was going to be a late finish. Breakfast was amazing. Huge spread to suit both meat eaters and vegetarians and you could sit outside on the terrace in the sunshine watching the world go buy. Lovely sweet little bar to have a drink while in comfy chairs but unfortunately we did not have time. Would have been more than happy to have stayed for a weekend.

Beautiful location ,loved all the old features ,the bed was so comfortable as was the manor ..the staff were lovely ,particularly the lady on reception who checked us in ,breakfast was delicious!

If I’m being picky some minor repairs to the interior need doing ,wall paper peeling off in certain areas and our lampshade on the side table was just balancing on top of the stand and not fitted correctly..minor details .The breakfast area was uncomfortably hot and the sunshine ,though lovely was streaming through the windows causing people to move seating around to avoid the glare ..curtains or blinds would have helped

Super king bed and sofa bed were very comfortable. Large spacious room. Lovely breakfast. Good parking. Very friendly reception staff. Great to see oat milk and vegan spread available at breakfast. Lovely to have coffee machine and bar fridge in room.

Had to request hand soap for bathroom, as none left by housekeeping and tea bags were not all refilled for second night stay. Guest bed had very thin mattress and was not comfortable at all. Key cards did not work on second night and had to be reset. Felt rushed to order hot breakfast as soon as we sat down, which meant that it was cold by the time we had finished our cereal/toast. This is not to say that we wouldn't return again.

Hi, the manor house is a beautiful hotel. We planned to stay for one night only but we liked it so much that we stayed for 2. Joanna on reception has been there for 15 years. She gave us a great price for our 2nd night and was super helpful and friendly. It was very clear to see that she's a people person. She told us that the property used to belong to an Admiral and dates back to 1820. There are original beams and woodwork in the foyer area that are supposedly from a Spanish galleon. Anyway...I would highly recommend this hotel, great staff, great accommodation and great surroundings. We both loved it. Special shoutout though to Joanna. She's was brilliant.

A beautiful building set in a great location. Staff were excellent. So helpful and friendly and willing to help in any way. Breakfast was delicious. We felt the price was correct overall when contrasted with the updating the hotel could do with making. However we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again as we felt it represented good value.

I would agree with other reviews that there are areas in need of a referb. Just some paint and new carpet would make a massive difference. We booked two rooms and one of the rooms was not good. Broken safe, used soap bar, clearly not been cleaned well. In fairness the hotel moved us straight away but it wasn’t great. Equally our other room was clean but there was dust on frames, and the carpet didn’t appear hoovered.

Lovely rural, peaceful location with fantastic terrace vista across London to sit out on in the summer. Yet 30 mins walk to fast rail access to the centre or 10mins to lovely St Albans. Also, walking distance to RNO hospital. Staff are lovely, friendly, and helpful. Restaurant food is excellent quality, especially steaks (properly aged and cooked) and authentic 72hrs dough pizzas. Just note that weekend breakfast is a buffet, very average, but the weekday breakfast is cooked from a menu and excellent. I don't understand the low review scores as it's pretty much the cheapest hotel in the area with a lot of plus points. It's the SE, it's not a cheap area.

No disabilities accessable rooms in a hotel this size, is that even legal. I've spent 5 nights here and this issue has cost the hotel a minimum of 4 more stays with us as my wife has now had an operation, which means the large number of stairs and no lift rules outbthis hotel, which otherwise is perfect! Dogs do seem to be allowed here, but it seems discouraged whichbis a shame..

Location to Stanmore Hospital (our destination) was 7 mins- fab. The staff we met were all very polite & chatty. Evening menu was good & reasonable, we ate in the bar area as there was a midweek wedding on & restaurant would have been too loud next door. Our room was fine, bed really comfy. Heating came on in bedroom through the night, which may or not be a good thing. It was certainly warm. 🥵 All in all though a good nights stay.

Bathroom basic but clean, (tiles all very clean) although wood panelling under bath looks a bit tired and repaired crack in the sink wasn’t great. The shower pole came out of its holder as soon as you tried to adjust the height, it could be put back in, just messing about when you’re trying to get showered.

Great setting. The staff were wonderful! Friendly and efficient. The lady on reception was so helpful - even fetching a vase for my flowers. In the bar, I was treated to a bespoke cocktail which was yummy! I had two! Huge, impressive room in the main building. Very comfortable bed. Great breakfast.

I last visited the hotel many years ago when it was The Edgwarebury. It had a great reputation with a touch of class. I remember seeing Jim Henson and Frank Oz siting in the lounge (when they were filming the Muppet Show at Elstree Studios) The echoes of that former glory are still there, but ... The building really needs extensive refurbishment although I realise that won't come cheap!

Joe the receptionist was very welcoming and efficient. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel itself was very well located for our stay. We have discussed staying there again when we go to London again. Ample free car parking was a bonus too. The breakfast was good. We were given extra towels when requested and the room was cleaned efficiently.

The negatives were the hotel bedroom was very basic and tired with minimal extras and not a queen size bed which we are used to!! The breakfast when ordered took a long time to arrive. Not such a vast choice for breakfast! Also paying extra to check in before 3pm

Beautifully renovated hotel, very spacious throughout, comfy & spacious bed, garden view room & one of the best showers I've experienced in a hotel (and I travel alot!). Ample parking. We had dinner in the restaurant which was delicious and good portion size. Our waiter was very attentive. My partner wasn't feeling great so we enjoyed some room service too. Warm welcome from Reception upon checking in and out. Ideal location for exploring the area. Will definitely stay again.

Nothing, it was all perfect.
