Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hertford House enjoys a central location, steps away from the town center, Burg, and Theater, with train stations conveniently within walking distance; many find it offers brilliant value. Guests often appreciate the modern, bright rooms which are a good size and well-equipped with tea and coffee facilities. The breakfast is frequently praised, though some guests have noted that single-pane windows can allow outside noise to be heard.

kitchen odor flickering lightbulb

The room smelled quite a bit like the kitchen, presumably because of its location above the cooking area. The included breakfast only covered one item from the menu, so ordering porridge as a starter would incur an additional charge, it seemed quite stingy! i also noticed that one of the lightbulbs was flickering quite persistently. It was distracting!

a very comfortable stay

helpful staff dog bed convenient cutlery warm welcome

The staff offered helpful suggestions for local takeaways. i appreciated that plates and cutlery were provided. It made our meal very convenient. the hotel offered a warm welcome to our dog. a dog bed and bowl were available.

the window had a single pane, so the sounds from outside were quite audible. this was slightly disruptive during the night.
