My wife and I celebrated her birthday and a recovery from a major operation by having a weekend stay. I had been to see the arboretum with The Royal Forestry Society and had been impressed by the well kept grounds years before. The staff were so helpful and welcoming when we booked by phone and then when we arrived. The food in the Mary Beale restaurant was true Masterchef. Full of flavor and beautifully presented. After three courses I had to take a walk before going to bed. Amazed how quiet the country side and grounds were despite being within the M25 and only 14 miles from the center of London.
The kipper I had for breakfast was so succulent. My wife does not like cooking them at home, so it was a treat.
The whole week end was tremendous value, not least being able to enjoy the walk around the trees.

I have now stayed at this hotel twice and on both occasions have been extremely impressed by the rooms, the staff and the hotel overall. Each of the rooms I have stayed were both big (entrance hallway with walk in wardrobe) with large beds in a separate room and both had large Flatscreen TVS and free wifi is provided (no logging in required) - I booked a double room on both occasions but did get a free upgrade to the Chestnut Lodge on my 2nd visit which is out the back of the hotel and the rooms did appear to be larger.

The food in the bar was delicious and the breakfast, although very pricey at £16, is superb.

Overall absolutely superb

I must say that this hotel has everything that one can wish for (A+). My family and i have been here for weddings, teas, dinners, weekends and it is absolutely gorgeous. The room was lovely clean and spacious with room for an extra bed.( Toiletries, bath robes etc. were provided for each of us) The bathroom was an A+ for the kids as they could lay in the bath and watch the freeview television. The staff are well presented, well trained, helpfull and friendly. The meals/menus are wonderful and the chef/s really cater to your likeness especially for the kids. There is a great Arboretum ( well kept and really lovely especially spring/summer) and lovely ponds. Another great + for the hotel is that it is very close to the M25, Trent Park restaurants, shops and Cockfosters underground station. The only problem was the broken ironing board which was quickly amended by a lovely and friendly maintainance guy. All in all this is a really lovely, peaceful and relaxing hotel.

I recently stayed overnight at West Lodge Park and found it to be a charming hotel.

The hotel itself is a very attractive building set in lovely gardens. My room was well appointed and comfortable. Added to that, I enjoyed a very good dinner and found the staff to be friendly and helpful.

All in all, a very pleasant stay.
