This property is located in the rural Hertfordshire parkland, near Watford and is easily accessible from Heathrow Airport. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property.

Conveniently close to London and with access from the M25 and the M1, Hunton Park combines the historic beauty of its Queen Anne-style architecture with modern comforts and facilities.

The breakfast was very tasty and so many healthy options. I loved how there was jars of pumpkin and sunflower seeds and which could be spread in cereal or in a bowl of natural yogurt. The location was perfect for our visit to Harry Potter world. Just 5 minutes away and the little village had a beautiful walkway by the canal which was peaceful and had beautiful scenery

In 40 acres of gardens and woodland, Grims Dyke Hotel offers rooms with free WiFi, just 10 minutes’ drive outside Watford. The elegant restaurant uses produce from the hotel gardens.

Award-winning Gilbert's Restaurant serves a fresh, seasonal menu. Guests dine in surroundings including a magnificent inglenook fireplace and views of the croquet lawn and rose garden.

We were delighted to find that although in a busy metropolis the hotel and grounds were wonderfully peaceful, a real haven; our room was very comfortable and excellently appointed and quiet; both dinner and breakfast were of the highest standard, delicious and plentiful; the staff were full of smiles and could not have been more pleasantly friendly and helpful.

    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.
