The Brocket Arms♡

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.

Fantastic historical country pub,

Very friendly and helpful staff. The room was clean and tidy and perfect for our one night stay. Breakfast was good and the offer of extra tea or coffee was very welcome. The location was very quiet and tranquil

The staff were very friendly . Room was dated and had cobwebs too. One of the bulbs on the ceiling light lamp was precariously hanging.
