“Good value accommodation and really helpful staff - thank you!”
The pub is a lovely place to stay and the staff are really friendly and helpful. They were able to book us in for breakfast in a nearby inn as the kitchen was temporarily out of service, but this worked very well. Be prepared for the rooms upstairs to be a bit wonky - this is a historic building!

“Cosy and good value for money.”
Definitely enjoyed the stay. Lovely staff working there. The bed was very cosy and had a lot of character. Could make ourselves a nice cup of coffee in the room and bring any drinks from downstairs to the room. Bar area was also great, especially the garden.

“The room we were given should not be used as accomodation.”
There are serious management issues here but Jo who worked in the pub and who welcomed us moved heaven and earth to put things right. We had arranged on the phone to have an iron left in the room. We were attending a funeral and it was essential. When we arrived there was no iron. Jo found us an iron but it didn't work. Having tried everything else Jo rang her daughter and asked her to drive her own iron down to the pub. We were very grateful to both Jo and her daughter.

Staff very helpful, I had selected Twin/Double option. Unfortunately the hotel cannot see your preference. They made sure to accommodate us, even moving us room so we could zip beds together. They were even installing fridges to accommodate guests requiring medication! Very thoughtful. Very handy location next to the main highstreet. We were lucky enough to get a parking space outside on the road too.

“Handy for local access.”
Courtyard rooms were easy access as only one or two steps to the door. Location perfect as central for all Amersham restaurants etc Very quaint property. Clean, comfortable beds.
