I stayed here for a couple of nights. It is an odd mix of a place. It is essentially a very small - only 12 rooms – Bed and Breakfast. The rooms are all off a central corridor and when I arrived everything was in darkness and I had to grope around for a light to find my key which I been told I would find in an envelope. I did a found my room open and cold. The single electric wall heater struggled to bring the temperature up. The room was adequate (not large) with double bed (I booked a double room), desk/dressing table, casual chair and wardrobe and two bedside tables. The bed was comfortable and I slept well. On closer inspection the carpet looked a bit grubby. The bathroom was adequate with good powerful shower.
Unusually the toilet had an overhead cistern with chain! The Bath Panel was coming away at one end due to water damage. And the shaver point was not connected. Breakfast is taken in the large lobby area – no complaints, basic but tasty. The lobby area contains a comfortable seating arrangement, miscellaneous magazines and a flat screen TV and an honesty bar. The owner attends during the morning and evening to attend to arrivals and departures and called the day before my arrival to explain the entry code on the door.
There was a hospitality tray with complementary water and included hot chocolate, but neither were replaced on servicing. Nor was the shampoo and Bath Gel.
I ate in the pub down the road, which was fine, but the worst thing for me was finding the Mulberry Lodge. I had a map but I couldn’t find the route. The first night it took me an hour to find the place from Hertford.
Overall, it didn’t hit the mark for me.
