The stay was great. To say it was old is an understatement, 700 years is the oldest I've ever stayed in and the condition the owners have maintained is brilliant. If you're looking for a historical twee experience, go for this. The cost of the hotel and meals is inexpensive and good quality, the breakfast basic continental but Ok. We loved it.

We rarely get a break from our business so we are always so happy to find little gems like the Brocket. We loved the relaxed charm of the whole place. The roads accessing it may be a little windy & tight but Ayot is such a beautiful area it is worth the trip. We parked outside the pub & were greeted by the friendly team who showed us the room which had water left out & tea/coffee making facilities. It's everything you would expect from a 14th century inn. Beautiful features, lovely garden (we loved feeding the guinea pigs). We ate lunch on the second day & the food was fab. Breakfast each morning was very relaxed (available until 10am, alot of places could earn from this). Nice selection at breakfast & we loved the lady who served us throughout such a character. If you return late to the hotel, make sure you have the front door key, thankfully the owner lives on site so we managed to get in. If you fancy exploring there are several walks in the area with qr code for all on the entrance wall. We opted for the short loop walk which was beautiful. We ate locally at Megans on the Green in Welwyn Garden which was lovely & the town has an array of shops. Will certainly visit again & please remember it is a 14th century inn & if things don't work be patient. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Room and bathroom were clean, but the bedroom could do with a little tlc, things like the casing on the emergency light having flies in, and some of the decoration items on the shelves had seen better days. Bed, although noisy when you first sit on it, was comfortable and slept well. Bathroom clean, although couldn't open the window. Ate in the pub on the first night and a good meal - can recommend the rib-eye steak, and breakfasts good. There's a large beer garden, and children's play area, together with a large animal run, with guinea pigs, rabbits, budgies, parakeets and love birds. Location is off the beaten track, however it is very quiet and no road noise. Free internet access is also available. Overall, a good stay over two nights, would recommend.

Handy for weddings at Coltsfoot!

Very, very calm, cosy and quaint place to stay. I was at a wedding at Coltsfoot, and it’s 15 mins drive. Extremely comfortable and clean, very efficient breakfast too.

Positives - Exceptional staff - very hardworking and always happy to help when asked and answer questions. - Very Attractive and quaint period bedroom with a large spacious en-suite attached. - Comfy kingsized bed. - Traditional pub menu but super evening meal ( If you need to avoid salt, do mention it as potatoes are well salted.) and full breakfast with generous portions. We have eaten here several times before and there has been consistent excellent cooking every time - lots of towels and pristine bathroom . Negatives - It would have been helpful if we’d been given useful information on arrival or printed in our room - eg wifi code, time of breakfast, etc. We had to interrupt the only member of staff on duty each time to find out. - We also arrived on a very hot day to find the 2 opening windows in our room had been removed for renovation and the apertures boarded up. Staff were apologetic but it was too hot to stay in our room until it cooled down after dark (and was unattractive too) and we weren’t offered a free drink or anything to make up for the inconvenience. - lumpy pillows - disappointing when bedding is good quality

It was a beautiful period room, the pub downstairs looked amazing, we got in quite late so it had stopped serving food sadly. Really quiet over night and a beautiful location. I will be returning with more time!

We enjoyed staying at the Brocket Arms for weekend. The room was clean and comfortable and equipped with what we needed (kettle, water, wardrobe and desk/dressing table as well as TV and en suite shower room). The room was modern but retained its 16th century character with exposed beams in the bedroom. We especially enjoyed the food which was high quality, well cooked 'pub fayre' (steak, sausage and mash, fish and chips and a good selection of 'proper' puddings) and breakfast was excellent too. There are opportunities for some lovely walks both in the immediate vicinity and beyond and the B&B is convenient for wider travel in the area while being situated in a charming village.
