Hunton Park

The staff were nice, but the big beautiful building they show on their website is false advertising. That is just a big empty building used for only weddings and consultations. You rather stay at a place that looks like a student accommodation, it’s not clean and the pool is so small and smells so bad. I’m being so honest here, do not waste your money on something like this. There’s no hand soap in the rooms, the shower pressure is non-existent, the room service was non evident too, we had to ask for clean towels. The doors had a flat print of a 3D door design on it which was peeling away. Overall this place needs a major improvement.

The staff were fantastic, very helpful and friendly. The hotel is currently being renovated which I wasn't informed of prior to staying. Apart from wet paint though you wouldn't really know. The communal areas were lovely and traditional with stunning gardens that were huge. The rooms were okay, a little rundown in a few places but the rest made up for it. The shower was great and bathroom was lovely. They even left me a treat for my birthday which was so tasty. Breakfast was great (just one thing though, why cumberland sausages, whats wrong with a simple pork one) Was a good 20 minute drive from Watford Junction station but a 3 minute drive from the Warner Brothers/Harry potter studios.

My husband and I attended a wedding here a couple of weeks ago. Rooms were very small. Service was poor. We checked in at 3pm as per the confirmation email, however, our room had not been completely cleaned- the bathroom bin had not even been emptied and there were very unsanitary products in the bin. We asked at reception if they could switch rooms but as they were fully booked, this was not possible. Instead we were offered a complimentary drink whilst they cleaned the room. However, after spending 2 hours in the bar area, we went back to our room to find it has still not been cleaned. We didn't have time to complain again as we were in a rush to get ready for the evening reception, but I complained again in the morning. I was told that this would be followed up but I have not heard back.

Breakfast was poor, with little variety and not the best quality of food either.

To top off our stay, someone hit our car in the carpark over night. I was told the manager would be able to provide me with CCTV or further information, however, I have still heard nothing back, even after following up with an email.

Would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

We stayed here because we were attending the Harry Potter studio tour. The hotel is about 6/7 minute drive (30 minute walk) to the studio which was ideal.

The hotel and room was pretty standard. The room wasn't the cleanest and there were several things broken such as the tap and soap holder in the shower.

We were only there for 1 night so not long enough to get a good feel. However, I wasn't too happy with our experience. After the Harry Potter tour we fancied a couple of drinks in the bar before going to the room. We headed to the bar and it was packed due to a Christmas party. My wife is 37 weeks pregnant so we didn't fancy a packed bar. We asked a member of staff if there was anywhere we could go for a coffee and were advised to come back in about 10 minutes because all the people will be moving into the function room.

We thought that's fair enough and popped to the room. After about half an hour we went back down and the bar was empty. We asked for 2 coffee's and was told he couldn't so us a coffee because he would have to go to the kitchen and he told us to ask at reception. We asked at reception and was told there's coffee in the room. It just felt as though they couldn't be bothered.

There is a nice little pub called the Kings Head down the road, however that wouldn't sway me to stay at this hotel again.

The location cannot be beat for going to the Harry Potter studios. I wasn’t expecting much when looking at the reviews but I think the reviews are harsh for the price you pay. The breakfast was superb with lots of choice from hot food to fruit and a lovely clean dining area and it also had a nice bar. The room was comfy and it was easy to get to with lots of parking. Yes you are not in the main house so the pictures are misleading but it is connected via a short passage. The surrounding areas were nice and felt very safe.

Attended a works event. The grounds main building and food were lovely. Staff were nice and friendly, however considering how amazing the main venue appears the rooms are lacking. The toilet flush was broken..room 44 there was wood missing from the desk and the shower flooded into the carpet in the room. There was also a lot of condensation on the windows in the morning so clearly no double glazing. But we were comfortable with the temperature of the room. Some minor fixes would have made it a 5 star review. Other work colleagues complained about the size of the rooms -be warned they are very small but we had a z bed in ours and the room was average size, as we were given a slightly larger room. Breakfast was included and was very nice and served until quite late in the morning which was great

Just awful!!

It started at the front door, which was broken, and after watching my pregnant wife struggle to get through it while I had all the bags, the woman behind reception just walked into the back room to finish a personal phone call. There is no doubt she saw us, and made eye contact before casually walking off!

It didn't get any better, the place is very run down. Paint falling off everywhere, carpets all bubbled up, and the cleanliness is far from acceptable.

The room was also pretty grotty, the bathroom floor was covered in debris, and the door didn't close. Dust everywhere and the worst bed I've slept in for some time, pillows were just full of lumps.

We ordered food from deliveroo because there were a few people in the bar complaining about how long they had been waiting for their orders to arrive.

Couldn't get out of there quick enough in the morning to be honest.

Far from restful, and not what we expected when we made a choice to avoid the usual chains for a change. Next time, I'll be straight back to Premier Inn or similar, at least for the cleanliness they offer!

Location is very convenient for Harry Potter experience, and for the train to London, however, with so many other options, I'd advise this place to be avoided whenever possible.

I'd genuinely sleep in the car before returning!!

Our room was covered in cobwebs/spiders which had made their way into the bed. It made the rest of the room feel really dirty even if it wasn’t. It’s a shame because the bathroom is nice but nothing has been maintained very well. Our room wasn’t ready when we checked in, so we had a look round the pool which had the most disgusting smell. The breakfast was awful and so expensive for the quality of food and drink you got, most was inedible/ruined under the buffet counter lights. Staff were nice but there wasn’t many of them. Feels like false advertising as you don’t actually stay in the nice building shown on the pictures, you stay in a weird side building that has tunnels going around from the reception (like when you’re walking down to your plane at the airport).
