I recently attended my friends Engagement party at Fanhams hall. The hotel is in a fabulous location, the grounds are superb! We were all really taken aback by the surroundings. The venue is perfect for any party or even wedding...I would even return for a quite weekend away. The food was to a high standard (the menu had changed a... more

We got married in May and had our reception at Fanhams. It was the most amazing day. The staff were superb, extremely helpful in the lead up to and on the wedding day (a special thanks to Margaret who helped the proceeding). We couldn't have wished for a better place to get married. The grounds were spectacular and all the... more

Must state again the venue itself was excellent, but overpriced on food and wine; £38 for a bottle of medium quality Chianti, no way Jose. The accommodation rooms are too small, I had a ‘double’ and with one edge of the bed pushed against a wall I could still touch the room door, the door by the way could not... more

Held our engagement party here in March. The main house itself is stunning and the Great Hall where we had the party is amazing. The service from all the staff was excellent from start to finish and they couldn't do enough for us. The food was buffet style and was top notch - lots of our friends and family commented... more

My partner and I stayed for a friends party recently and were really pleased with the hotel. I am not sure why it ha sbad reviews, the rooms were new, clean and spacious, the staff were extremely helpful and the grounds were beautiful. All in all a great trip. more

We stayed in one of the newly refurbished courtyard bedrooms and it was very comfortable, clean and views over the hotel courtyard. We had bar snacks in the conservatory bar and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The grounds were beautiful. This is our second time back and it is much improved in all areas of the hotel. more

We had booked Fanhams for our wedding and the trip advisor reviews did concern us. I also had family staying for two nights in the hotel. We wanted a venue with a large number of rooms for everyone to stay which Fanhams has, the rooms are not great, but they're not that bad either. I stayed in two rooms and... more

Stayed here for wedding, main Hotel is very good for venue, staff are a bit offish, but this is hertfordshire. Rooms in Annexe at £120 a night are so small some have the beds shoved into corners, for this sort of money in a hotel just of a council estate you would expect a bigger room, hot water and clean... more

The hotel is in a beautiful location and the grounds are very well maintained (cheery gardener included!) but everything else was a real let down. It's just not as it's marketed. The bedroom and furniture reminded me of a visit to a friend who lived on an Army barracks. Dated and small. The brash bar staff seemed happy to talk... more
