Work trip

Very nice old building I booked an upgraded room , it was super clean and had air con the shower was a rain style and it was massive , the bed was comfy and the tv was big .. although there is no food or drinks available you can literally walk round the corner to Dunstable Main Street and eat and drink what ever you want

Lovely hotel, nice rooms. Shame the bar and restaurant is not open anymore as they were really nice last time we stayed

4* only if you’re scoring out of 50!!!

Arrived to a beautiful setting. However, room 1 had dirty sheets (blood found on duvet). No towels. 1 worn pillow each. Room badly dated. Moved to a family room. Again, 1 pillow each. Hand towels only. 3rd floor, lift broken. Honestly a poor place to stay. Apart from a comfortable bed this place is awful!

Tired and in need of much TLC

The hotel is in poor condition. My room was 'tired' and the tv didnt work. Phone point broken, damage from previous visitors and black fragments in the cold tap water. Such a shame as it used to be lovely.

Former home office hotel

Former asylum seekers hotel, outsourced to the home office. I wish it all the best to get it back on it’s feet. I’m glad i brought my noise cancelling headphones (thin walls) and the bar & restaurant were closed. The shower was good, that was the only positive.

Nice property - it was unfortunate that due to the major cancellations at Luton airport there was a long wait for check-in but this was, I imagine, exceptional. Nice small hotel, friendly staff and good choice for breakfast.

Nice room for a quick stop over. Breakfast was fine and the staff seemed nice but not really in there long enough to judge more than that.

10/10 Exceptional

Friendly and helpful staff, the location was decent and the accomodation lovely. The food on offer was great. Only complaint was the thin walls, we could hear a lot of what was going on in the next room, and our baby woke the baby in the room next door durng the night...

Superb place

We had an amazing time, we had a great meal in the Henry room. The slow cooked beef was delicious and would definitely recommend it and the biscotti cheesecake. The room was great and the service was too. Loved the walled garden and as it was a gorgeous day we sat out there till late having a few drinks from the bar in the garden.

Well managed family party

Fantastic sevice from Alex, who arranged our family dinner in a private room and was super helpful, and reception were also friendly. Breakfast was a bit of a shambles with staff who couldn't cope and werent professional, but overall a good stay - the food was excellent quality and value. Walled garden is pretty and the old part of the hotel is nice - the new parts lack any sort of character, but are comfortable enough.

Tried to check in early but the staff said we couldn’t , when we eventually checked in and went to our room we found it far too hot with no ac which was worrying for my partner who suffers from asthma.

2 Easy things to fix this hotel to a 5 star rating

Would have been 5 star BUT 2 things let it down badly 1. No room thermostats and the rooms were far too hot. 2. Bathrooms need complete modernisation, showers are outdated and not very good, mixer taps to set the temp, not good or effective. No grab handle or anything to hold onto when you step out of the shower, and with a shower over a bath these are an absolute ESSENTIAL. That being said, the beds were comfortable, clean, and the rooms a very good size, Service and food in the restaurant were excellent. All staff were extremely attentive and very helpful. Just a real pity about the heat and the bathroom
Glenda, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Average

Wedding was going on when checked in . Went out came back to our room at 9 loud disco directly below our room. Would have been impossible to sleep . Called reception who moved us to a new upgraded room at the back of the hotel and floor above and no noise. At breakfast discovered numerous wedding guests had stayed so surely all rooms on the first floor need to be assigned to weeding guests. Also at breakfast huge tables for wedding party meaning felt no room and unwelcome if a wedding is on they need a separate breakfast room . And the wedding party need there own bar and area otherwise you are walking around wedding guests . If not a wedding on be great place to stay if a wedding on would avoid.
