What guests think

Across recent reviews, West Lodge Park is praised for its peaceful, scenic grounds near London and consistently friendly staff, while feedback also notes dated décor, some smaller rooms without air conditioning, and occasional maintenance or cleanliness lapses.

Guests often find beds comfortable, but reports cite compact layouts in some categories, weak or erratic showers, and variable water pressure. Breakfast is frequently described as tasty, yet dinner quality and menu variety vary and prices can feel high. Expect character and calm, with trade‑offs in room modernity and dining consistency.

Lovely stately home style hotel in lovely grounds, ample parking. Great breakfast but at £19.50 each I guess it should be! Lovely comfy bed. Tip - if you are 6 foot or over, ask not to be on the top floor. Overall great..

Great location, very well kept, breakfast was fantastic, evening meal was to die for but three little issues - 1. When walking in the main door stinks of cigarettes as people obviously smoke there, plenty of other places where let them use the main door. 2. WIFI - I was on the second floor, outside by the lift - full signal i was the next door to the corridor and as the walls are solid brick I got 1 bar due to the access point distance so Wi-Fi was not great, 3 more access points sort=s this by the way ( I work in IT) 3. The room was clean, bedsheets especially and bathroom was great. But the room had not been vaced properly as still someone's long hairs on the floor, so not a great one. But would I stay there again - yes, but would this time make sure to tell reception but only noticed the hair on the carpet this morning just as leaving

It’s a lovely property but dated and in need of refurbishment. Stay was disappointing. Our room was dusty and, following our request to have it cleaned, there was little improvement. First night - toilet flush not working properly & leaking washbasin. However, reception had this sorted next day. We expected better of a hotel charging almost £400 for a 3 night stay.

We held our wedding reception at this hotel 41 years ago and it's pleasing that very little has changed. Breakfast was excellent. The only disappointment was our bathroom which felt grubby - the rim underneath the toilet bowl was stained or hadn't been cleaned. The area around the shower base was dusty and the tiles around the hand sink similarly had splash marks and all the tiles could do with a polish. As at clean bathroom is a crucial part of feeling comfortable in a hotel it was a shame as everything else was very good.

There was no air conditioning in the property and the room was stifling, had to keep window wide open all night but even with this and a small fan the heat was unbearable! Rooms are dated, traditional style in keeping with the building but could do with a make over feel old, TV's and furniture would benefit from an overhaul! Also found toenails on carpet behind the bin - reported this to reception!

There was a bit of mould on the grouting in the bathroom and some paint touch-up is required on the heating pipe in the bedroom area. The sash window and frame could do with some sprucing-up and aircon in the room is required. I understand that it is a period building, but I like modern conveniences too.

It's a beautiful hotel. Our room was a little bit too small for three of us, with a double and camp bed. The camp bed was also very flimsy and uncomfortable to sleep on. The staff were lovely though and the food was good.

Location is great Room was very small, outdated and no better than a Travel Lodge. Bathroom was so basic, nowhere to put your things, way too small and needed a total refurb. Crooked toilet seat, tiny corner shower where i kept banging my elbow against the inside handle because there was no space to move. The price we were told it would be for breakfast was not the price they charged us. Not worth the money at all!!! The grounds are lovely but the hotel desperately needs a refurb to warrant the prices they charge. Very Very disappointed - There are much better hotels around

The hotel is set in beautiful grounds. I stayed in a room in an annexe and my check-in would have been a better experience if someone had shown me to my room instead of dragging my cases back and forth until I eventually had to return to reception to get further instructions. The bedroom was smaller than I expected and not to the standard of the rest of the hotel. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The bill was more than I had been quoted when I first booked and the invoices were not clear. I had called and increased my booking from one room to two but because I had spoken to the hotel directly and not amended the booking though Hotels.com I was given a poorer deal on the second room. Lovely Easter lunch.

We were greeted with a very unfortunate welcome from the concierge desk. On asking if the rooms we had booked have baths the concierge told me to go and look for myself. On checkout the same gentleman attempted to double charge us for breakfast (which was very sub- par).

He went out of his way to make sure that l was comfortable and catered for on a highest level. My whole experience was the most beautiful , quiet, tranquil and the grounds were just what you need for a break lots of walks if you have time.

Clean and friendly, and a nice restaurant for dinner. We stayed in West Lodge Park Hotel for old time’s sake, as we used to live in London and attended a dinner+concert series there. It’s on a charming country-style estate, run by the same family, near Cockfosters Underground Station. So it’s within easy reach of central London. Trent Country Park next door has great walking trails for humans and dogs. West Lodge is a bit tired, but may be doing some renovations.

A little disappointed with our recent stay, mainly due to the quality of the restaurant. Service was very slow & the quality of the meal wasn't great. Plus, the selections on the menu were very limited. Especially as my wife has a Gluten intolerance, the choices were extremely limited, with many items on the menu not being available at all.

We were surprised to find that for breakfast on both days that they had run out of mushrooms by 8.30 am. The rails by the toilet in our room (23) were dirty and they were not wiped down during our 2 day stay. We find that once a hotel has a function on the residents take a back seat.

Old building but clean and comfy. I got a room with frost glass windows as the window is facing next door building with sanitary pipes, electrical cables, etc. Food in the hotel restaurant was of poor quality. Got a fried chicken a la carte which was fried some days ago and re heated along with vegetables. So if you have some level of taste do avoid. Waiter drops plates on the table in a way I have never sees before. Breakfast pretty decent choice of foods.
