I booked this hotel because it said there was a bar an restaurant. Unfortunately both were closed, which on a rainy and stormy night was less than ideal. I wouldn’t have booked if I had known in advance
that I wouldn’t be able to get dinner.

I had a very comfortable stay at the Watermill Hotel. The room was clean and quiet and the facilities were good. I was very well looked after and Shawn in particular went above and beyond to make my stay a memorable one. I would highly recommend it.

The staff were excellent, helpful and polite, and made us feel welcome. The breakfast service was wonderful, and we enjoyed our breakfast very much!. The room was a bit dated, and the bed was awful-the matrress dipped in the midlle and was out of date. The hair dryer was not very good either. They need to update the rooms and finesse the items in the rooms for guests.

This best western has been superb with outstanding service by all. In particular a member of staff Shawn showed exemplary service and assistance guiding both my wife and I to what was available at the hotel. The room was excellent, quiet and overall in a prime location for us both visiting family. We highly recommend this place for visiting and will be back to use this place as a base when in Hemel Hempstead. Thank you
