At first I was a bit sceptical booking this hotel after reading some of the reviews. But honestly our stay was lovely. I booked the hotel for me and my daughter as we were going to Harry Potter world, which is about 10 minutes drive! So location was just perfect. In a lovely quiet location with beautiful gardens surrounding it. The guy on reception who checked us in was honestly so so nice and pleasant(sorry can’t remember his name) a credit to the hotel! Room was beautiful and super clean! We didn’t eat at the hotel so can’t comment on that but the breakfast smelt lovely! My little girl wanted to try the pool which again I was really sceptical after reading the bad reviews- but it really isn’t as bad as people say! Ye it does need a bit of an update but I have seen worse leisure centre’s! The pool was lovely and warm and we had it all to ourselves :) Overall we had a wonderful stay and I would recommend this hotel and definitely stay here again!

The hotel dates back to 1906, when Radlett was a major railway junction in the early 19th century. The hotel has now fully refurbished the bar, dining room and guests areas.

My room was immaculate, comfortable with nice touches. Staff helpful and welcoming, food amazing.

Our room was very spacious and elegantly decorated. We enjoyed being there and would love to come again if possible! In fact we stayed extra days and cancelled another hotel, because we felt so at home!

    If you are going to Harry Potter studios with kids then do stay here! From the outside, a tired, shabby semi in london suburb. From the inside, a magical flat perfect for every Potter fan. The details were perfect, toys and decorations all potter themed including salt and pepper cauldrons, and net curtains with quill design. Loved the balloons and cake for my son’s birthday and tea and biscuits for us. Thank you - so thoughtful. We watched potter films all evening dressed in robes (supplied!) it was wonderful.

    The inside of the hotel is designed excellently and has a bar, place to eat deliveroo food, and space to relax. The rooms are also well designed and the lock of the place is lovely! Bed was huge and super comfy. Most importantly the staff were absolutely lovely; excellent customer service and you felt a pride in what they were doing - it’s their welcome that made the stay! 5 mins walk to a road with lots of great places to eat. We had space to park at the hotel which was great too.
