The Old Cock Inn

Super hyggelig placering oven på pubben. Lækker morgenmad på pubben.

Virkeligt koldt på værelset... Varmen var ikke tilsluttet endnu Dobbeltsengen var for kort til én på 186cm. Fødderne stak udenfor sengen.

Clean and well appointed. Pleasant staff

No parking on site

Good room and breakfast

Parking difficult

Great location, good comfortable accommodation , clean and well specified. Lovely staff

Thank you to the lovely staff for a wonderful stay, breakfast was delicious 😋. I would definitely stay here again. Parking was a bit tricky but we managed to find a big car park not to far away.

Pillow a little hard.

Good choice of food...well prepared. Very nice spacious room Friendly staff.

Room not cleaned 1 day out of 4

Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent location. Very good choices for breakfast

Could have done with a mini fridge in the room. Pub bar closed at 9pm on the Sunday but they didn't tell us

Good location, facilities and friendly staff.

Room was too hot and difficult to cool down

Location, staff, food all excellent. Room clean and comfortable. Very effective and quiet fan helped with extreme temperature! A fridge would have been nice.

Nothing

Great Breakfast, great Staff, good location.

All good

The room was basic, clean and comfortable and the bathroom had lovely toiletries

It was a bit noisy with traffic but didn't really affect us

Room and friendly staff

Good location in the middle of the Town, car parking 2 minutes away, very clean, lively pub with locals and tourists. Very clean and well maintained throughout, very friendly staff at breakfast and in the bar. Breakfast choices very good and excellent, only had one meal in the evening but that too was very good and well presented. I have over the last few years stayed at a few hotels whilst visiting relatives and this was by far the best property and hope to stay again.

Nothing. A thoroughly enjoyable stay.

Excellent location Friendly and helpful staff Professional Felt safe and secure with their security

Nothing to report

The cheerful welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was excellent and again nothing too much trouble for the lady in charge.

A comfortable stay, delicious breakfast, and friendly attentive staff. Modern decor and handy for Harpenden town activities

The parking is nearby but free at weekends, very little onside, but a short walk away 3 minutes.

Beautiful room number 4. Bathroom was lovely.

Small fridge would be nice in the room Couldn't find the hairdryer No phone in the room for assistance Air conditioning should be installed although the fan was good it was unbearably hot

Lovely room, tasty breakfast, great location.

Church bells a bit loud on Sunday morning (window open due to warm weather).

Pleasant greeting on arrival. Shown to room, offered help with luggage. Clean large room pure cotton bedding on a comfortable Deep large bath (in bedroom) plus en-suite shower/loo/basin. An effective fan provided much needed cooling in the current heatwave.

Nothing

Central location

No parking. No air-conditioning (it was exceptionally hot!)

Central harpenden

It’s above a pub and they chuck the bottles out at 0544

Proximity to centre of town close to parking. Comfortable nicely decorated room and they even provided an effective fan in the very hot weather. Breakfast was great and staff were very friendly.

Was a little on the expensive side but we did get the last available room and there is not a lot of competition if you want to stay in Harpenden.

No parking for friends

The rooms were comfortable

The Old Cock Inn didn't give us the rate which Booking.com said we should pay. It should have been £1020 GBP. They told us they could not provide breakfast so they reduced the price by £40 GBP per room, That meant we should pay a total of £860 GBP. When we arrived they insisted we had to pay more for 2 of the rooms; an extra £48 GBP on the larger room and £30 GBP on one of the standard rooms. We had no choice we had to pay £938 GBP. This has never ever happened to us with a Booking.com confirmed booking!

Great location in harpenden - walkable to cafes, restaurants, etc. Lovely room - comfortable bed, black out blind and waterfall shower, very friendly staff. Lovely pub and outdoor seating area.

There isn’t parking at the pub - not a problem and this is true of anywhere in the centre of harpenden, but just worth noting. We parked on the street and moved our car in the morning - it’s free overnight after 6:00 & on Sundays. Loud until around 23:00 - to be expected given it’s a pub. This was not a problem for us, but again worth knowing!

Friendly ramona. It was my wedding so stayed night before and night of. Bedroom was comfy and I had lots of space for my hair and make up to be done.

We were disappointed that breakfast was cancelled for us and our guests but not the end of the world.

Beautiful room - great toiletries. Lovely atmosphere in the pub.

Noisy after closing with staff moving furniture

Location town centre

No car park Advised no chef re breakfast (which was included in the booking). Advised to go to cafe next door and would get a refund of £20 (in total for 2 £10 each) The breakfast actually cost us £32 which at £16 was not grand and a fair price. Not sure what breakfast the hotel expected us to buy for £10. Stayed 1st May as at 1st June still not received £20 and now chasing for money. Hotel admit they have not processed when I phoned them.

Great central location in Harpenden, stylish pub with excellent rooms above. Ticks a lot of boxes, so we have stayed there several times. The best option in Harpenden.

Seem to have stopped providing breakfast, presumably due to cost of bringing chef in for small number of guests. Not an issue as there is an excellent cafe restaurant literally next door, who provide a great choice of breakfast dishes at an acceptable price.

Comfy bed, good size room and decent shower

No breakfast available the time we were staying, reduced rate paid so not the end of the world.

Alles was super goed

Lovely room and bathroom

Daily changing of used coffee mugs and the emptying of bins would be good

Perfect stay. All areas are clean and well maintained, and the staff could not do enough to accommodate us.

No breakfast had to eat out cost us money no compensation

Wry welcoming

Parking around the hotel is not great !

Lovely room, great location, really helpful staff

Great location for us visiting family right in the heart of the town, friendly staff and nice that had its own entrance so didn't have to go through the pub if you didn't want to. Breakfast wasn't available but we were refunded straight away and recommended the Okka cafe next door which was amazing. It was great stay, with comfortable good size room that looked exactly like the pictures advertised, would definitely stay again.

Nothing

the staff were really friendly, the food was good at dinner and breakfast

Comfortable bed nice bath

No coffee in room No breakfast Bar/Pub not charming

Clean, well decorated and a good size room

Nothing

Newly decorated, comfortable rooms , tasty breakfast

Only Double beds, twin option would be good.

Staff were great. Food was good.

Room was susceptible to traffic noise from the main road early in the morning

Great location and beautiful boutique room with fabulous staff and great facilities- huge breakfast and I can’t speak highly enough of the place

Nothing could be better

Ideal location for a short stay in Harpenden. The room was tastefully decorated with everything you need. Angelina in the pub was extremely helpful and friendly.

Great location for the station and theatre. Lovely girl Angelina who served us both days we were there. So sweet, helpful and polite . Super comfy bed. Beautiful bar/ dining area. Loved the shower/bath system , easy to use and made more logic than anywhere else we have been.

Windows in bedroom need some maintenance but didn’t affect our stay , just something I noticed .

The staff in the pub / restaurant were lovely especially the girl who had nearly lost her voice

Plug stuck in sink couldn't use it. Bottom of toilet needed bleach

Great position, easy access to shops, other pubs and restaurants. The room was fantastic, we even had a roll top bath in the bedroom, very swanky. Great garden area. Very friendly staff. Just all round great.

No carpark but the best place to park is the Lydekker Car Park which is free all weekend and a short walk to the pub.

Decor, bed

Noise - but that’s just a personal aspect

Yes, nice Clean room

Staff very friendly, helpful and welcoming. Breakfast superb.

Nothing we disliked but parking can be more awkward at busy times.

Modern style. Central location.

‘Double’ bedroom did not have a double bed. Mattress was smaller than a standard double so was a very uncomfortable nights sleep. Window netting had bird poo on it. Cobwebs in the corners and only one mug. Quality of breakfast was very average.

Lovely individual and good sized rooms in a great location. Stayed three times now

Located on a main road so some rooms can be noisy if you’re a light sleeper

Breakfast was great Reception was very helpful Location is good Most staff very helpful

Bathroom needed an extra clean Coffee stains in the sink toilet rim very lime scaled One member of bar staff had a very abrasive attitude when asked about wine served to me

Excellent Pablo at breakfast with a very very friendly l colleague who cooked a delicious breakfast. Room and facilities very tastefully decorated. Great location. Very easy to book in and out.

Room number 2, the basin plug needs fixing no. The bath fittings need fixing and the plug does not stop water going out. Bed too small for a couple.

Lovely breakfasts and a great evening meal

Their own parking space would have been good, but there was timed parking on the street nearby

Lovely location, perfect for our plans. Friendly and helpful staff and large room with tasty breakfast included.

Room was a little chilly at night.

Super sized room overlooking the pub garden and local church. Very central. Very friendly and helpful staff. Attractively decorated bedroom with large comfortable bed and well sized bathroom. Very quiet at night. Breakfast cooked to order and eaten in very attractive main pub downstairs.

Some rooms are over the pub so don't be surprised to hear music , voices etc till closing time. Only marked down to a 9 as no on-site parking, but as we know area we parked on residential roads nearby and walked.

Lovely room, excellent location and great service.

Nothing that I can think of.

Good size room, comfy bed. Lovely breakfast

Windows wouldn't close, not enough lighting in the room

The pub is in a great location and the rooms are large, comfortable and nicely decorated. The staff were very friendly and everything was very clean.

The only problem was that we stayed in early February and the duvet felt cheap and was very thin. When we asked if we could have a blanket or extra duvet there were none available.

Located in the town centre. Rooms have a separate entrance adjacent to the pub and ours was very clean and comfortable. Great breakfast.

No parking at the pub although there is free overnight parking nearby.

Nice room, good breakfast.

No on site parking

Food in Pub

Breakfast choices were fantastic, room was good size

The loud music which went off at early hours of the morning which only was switched off when the cleaners arrived at 6am

Efficient and friendly staff with an extensive menu of delicious food and great gins and wines. The accommodation was spotless but sadly, super hot. I stayed in August and the duvet was an extra heavy winter duvet, no fan was provided and the windows only open a crack. The pillows are small and square rather than the normal size and were particularly uncomfortable without support. All those factors, couple with a pretty hard bed, meant I got next to no sleep, which was obviously frustrating because the rest of the stay was super.

The comfort of the bed and linens.

Beautiful large room, lovely decor, great central location, nice breakfast

The noise! I was initially put in a room at the back of the hotel and all I could hear was the thump thump of the music from the bar below. I couldn’t stand it so I asked to be moved and was put in a room at the front which had all the cars and buses going past. Single glazed windows offered no sound proofing whatsoever. The traffic noise stopped around midnight and started again at 5. I had to go across to Boots to buy earplugs but could still hear the traffic through them.

Comfortable warm and quiet

Great staff not enough tables for just a drink. Rooms great

always stay here before we fly from luton , great location for the air park service , comfortable room ,comfortable bed , adequate room , nice evening meal , unfortunately can not rate breakfast as we always leave early morning, staff friendly 😀

The room was very good with a comfortable bed, everything worked, it was clean and well stocked with all the things you need for the stay. The shower was good and lots of hot water and plenty of clean towels. Staff were lovely and very welcoming.

No fault of the pub but just for awareness, it is located on the High Street (great from that perspective) but on the night I stayed the M1 was shut for roadworks so there were lots of lorries passing. Not an issue if you are a heavy sleeper but worth noting or asking for a room at the back of the pub.

Excellent breakfast.

No parking at the premises.

Comfortable beds, quiet, good breakfast

No onsite parking. Only 4 hand towels in room, no bath towels. Same for our son’s room. Only one glass supplied in a room for 2. All minor things - wouldn’t stop us from returning.

Location & breakfast

Noisy cos of traffic and single glazing. Also room was difficult to get warm

The room was pleasant, clean and suitably equipped.

Breakfast was very disappointing. It was clearly too much trouble for the staff who didn’t acknowledge me and after several minutes, I had to get their attention to order. There was no milk, though the girl offered to go to the shop…I accepted oat milk for my drink. The toast with my poached eggs was a single stale piece, unbuttered and only toasted on one side. Nothing else offered, such as juice, cereal or pastries so I duly left to find somewhere in the town. Really poor offering and service which spoiled my stay. Zero interest in customer service.

Location and the ability to have breakfast on site this time

Friendly staff, nice room, good bar and restaurant

Nothing

Well finished large rooms, really comfortable beds and all the facilities, right in the center of Harpenden close to the restaurants and pubs. Proper milk in the rooms too! Great breakfast with lots of options.

Bar staff were less attentive to checking us in. Also, we saw it in the write up but needs to be clear there is no parking at the pub and is very busy in the local area - ask ahead and plan it.

Everything apart from the parking!

Clean, great staff and great food

Property was great

Everything was really good

Nothing

Room brightness/ decor / comfort / furniture

Hotwater wasn’t working one night - a staff member went above and beyound to try and solve the problem and went up into the attic to check boiler.

We wanted to be in the town and the hotel was in the town.

Heating system was limited hours. No hot water in the morning after 7.30 am both mornings of our stay. Had to boil kettle to heat water for washing. Limited breakfast with no cereal and even some items on breakfast menu were not available. Room accessed by separate secure entry door onto the street. We made complaints to the staff at the time re availability of hot water but no action was taken. Our situation was not helped by extremely cold weather at the time of our stay.

The guys that run the pub and hotel are just so welcoming and friendly, the decor is quirky and the food was amazing. Will definitely be back

Nothing

The team were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious.

Cold water in room. Temperature of room cold

Nice town, great location , comfortable room, perfect for an overnight stay!
