Across recent reviews, The Ridings at Theobalds Park earns praise for friendly, helpful staff, comfortable, spacious rooms, and a peaceful, scenic setting, while ongoing renovations and some unfinished areas shape parts of the experience.
Dinner at the on-site restaurant is often highlighted, but breakfast is repeatedly described as limited, slow to replenish, or poor value. Many guests note clean spaces, though occasional lapses and maintenance niggles appear, and wayfinding or gate access can be confusing. Expect comfortable rooms in scenic grounds, with dinner a highlight and breakfast a weak spot.

Facilities
The property is undergoing renovation, leaving some areas unfinished and occasionally closing amenities (for example, the gym), alongside reports of confusing signage, gate access and limited disabled parking markings. Attractive grounds, safe parking and an on site bar and restaurant are positives.

Rooms lovely and big, lean and cost. Restaurant was amazing. They accommodated us even though we arrived late. Will absolutely stay again. Only 4 stars as hotel is undergoing a huge renovation so it’s a bit strange as rooms are painted over and some areas a little temporary.

Excellent accommodation in the Restaurant accommodation block for wheelchair users. The shower room was luxurious with its double shower! New signage to find the restaurant block was better than my previous stay - but still needs a little improvement (the taxi driver dropped my friend at the Reception house). New disabled parking bays are great - but could be wider (to allow fully open car doors) and more clearly marked out. It is a great hotel in beautiful surroundings. I wish I had been able to know about the history of the buildings and the estate.

Staff very helpful but obviously the place is in the middle of a long renovation. Bed comfy and the site is peaceful at night. Not many sockets for kettle and so on. Room felt half done as bathroom showed signs of age even though bedroom looked newer.

It was an unusual place, but clean and unique. The Main gate was broken, old and padlocked. No directions for Ubers or travelers to use the other entrance. Our transport cancelled itself and made things a challenge trying to explain how a driver needed to gain access especially when you are a guest. The Food exceptional.

Hotel is undergoing renovation. Not mentioned when booking. All floor coverings are lifted, gym out of use and the breakfast was just the serving staff knocking stuff up. Questioned the female in the restaurant regarding the current state and that it wasn't advertised to be told 'there's loads of gyms in town'. Won't book again.

Looks like it could be brilliant. However my need for an accessible room was not passed to the hotel (they said) - so I didn’t get one. I arrived in the dark and it was really difficult to find my way to the hotel itself - there hadn’t been any advance information about the barrier or where the intercom (obscured by foliage) was. As a disabled person it was difficult to get out of the car and read the notice on the barrier (which didn’t give info about the intercom - just gave a phone number!) Hotel signs to reception almost impossible to read in the dark. Security (Lucas? On quad bike) were great in directions and help. Reception (Luke) also good. No accessible parking spaces available or visible. Fairly selfish guests blocking car park exit (chatting) and making it difficult for morning arrivals and leavers. I wish there’d been written information in room about the interesting history of the property. No info given (but I worked it out) about Internet access or restaurant menu and facilities.

Not a great place, stains on bed runner, cobwebs above the bed, dirty air inlet above the pillow end of the bed, the bed was uncomfortable and the pillows were like sleeping on a bag of spanners, there was no drinking water provided even though it was touching 30degress outside, we had to wait until 8am the following morning to get a drink from the restaurant. one of our party refused to stay there and actually drove home! I did raise a complaint to the hotel.

I arrived around 30 minutes before the end of breakfast, however the hotel had already run out of bacon and only brown bread was available, which was disappointing. The grounds could also do with some tidying. On a positive note, the room itself was lovely and the bed was very comfortable. Unfortunately, the view from the window overlooked what appeared to be a dumping area with broken fencing and a dilapidated caravan, which detracted from an otherwise pleasant stay. With some attention to breakfast availability and the external areas, this could be a really good hotel.

I stayed here when it was Theobalds Park and the hotel is going through a full renovation which can make the place look totally unfinished. The only negative was that there was no work desk in my room - but I was told that this is going to be rectified and most room do have a desk. I would definitely stay again

Great location and peaceful. Great to have a restaurant, friendly staff and lovely food. Room did the job. It would be good to have the option of turning radiator off - even when off mine was still very hot, which I didn’t need. The window was open for the duration. The bathroom fan was noisy but ineffective and the towel rail didn’t work.

Overall, the stay was pleasant - we checked in late after a party and checked out on time. The room was spacious, but (perhaps because it was a mobility access room), it felt like a hospital room refurbished into a hotel.

All the staff were lovely. The food was poor and the expectation of management to have only one member of staff to welcome, take orders, make the drinks, waiter and make the food for In excess of 15 covers arriving at breakfast within a space period of 10 minutes (which is the experience we witnessed). Very awkward and unpleasant and in fulfilling to see the croissants and bread emptying out and needing more coffee but would have been too unkind to ask for anything else we would need knowing the whole operation of the restaurant was being manned by 1 person. Felt very bad for him however annoying too that we were in a position to look after the restaurant rather than the restaurant look after us.

Bath has bad covering design, after taking shower you have the toilet floor full wet. And they do not do house keeping every day. They need some major refurbishment.

This hotel is in a lovely setting. It hasn’t been opened long so there are a few areas that need to be developed more, but the staff are all so professional and deal with any issues fairly and efficiently. The restaurant staff especially Luke are a real asset to the hotel. Luke is so friendly but also very professional which is what made our meals in the restaurant so enjoyable. Compliments to the new chef , the fish pie was the best we have ever tasted. So often in reviews the cleaners do not get a mention so I want to say that Gemma who cleaned our room went above and beyond in her role. The hotel is really developing in the right direction and we look forward to experiencing this each time we stay in the future. Sally Waller.

Nice little place to stay outside the hustle and bustle We used it as a base for tottenham hotspur stadium for post malone Its clean and tidy Pleasant quiet nights sleep on a comfortable bed and good pillow. My only issue is my fault... i didnt research before hand how far the tube/train station is so you have to get an uber/taxi to the station and then get the train to the stadium for the event This was easy enough but extra costs and hassle of not being 1 journey Otherwise its a good spot for a reasonable price

Nice early check in. Walking a mile to work mainly through the beautiful grounds of what was a massive estate. The rooms were very nice and comfortable. The on site restaurant served an excellent selection of food. This hotel has only been open for 3 weeks but I’m sure it’s going to be a massive success! Great location!

After getting a bit lost with Apple Maps we arrived via a country lane with google maps. Still very conveniently located a short drive from M25 and Hertfordshire zoo. Apple Maps seem to take you to the other side of carriageway, beware. This didn’t feel like a hotel, really quirky with lovely surroundings. Very clean and modern. Loved the big old trees in the grounds. Tea & coffee bags in the rooms were lovely quality and nice mugs. Toiletries smelt lovely too. Only issue we had was I couldn’t turn hot tap on, was so stiff that my son had to do it and the bathroom door stuck. These were small issues for a very very lovely stay. I will be back.
After getting a bit lost with Apple Maps we arrived via a country lane with google maps. Still very conveniently located a short drive from M25 and Hertfordshire zoo. Apple Maps seem to take you to the other side of carriageway, beware. This didn’t feel like a hotel, really quirky with lovely surroundings. Very clean and modern.

Great location and peaceful. Great to have a restaurant, friendly staff and lovely food. Room did the job. It would be good to have the option of turning radiator off - even when off mine was still very hot, which I didn’t need. The window was open for the duration. The bathroom fan was noisy but ineffective and the towel rail didn’t work.

Looks like it could be brilliant. However my need for an accessible room was not passed to the hotel (they said) - so I didn’t get one. I arrived in the dark and it was really difficult to find my way to the hotel itself - there hadn’t been any advance information about the barrier or where the intercom (obscured by foliage) was. As a disabled person it was difficult to get out of the car and read the notice on the barrier (which didn’t give info about the intercom - just gave a phone number!) Hotel signs to reception almost impossible to read in the dark. Security (Lucas? On quad bike) were great in directions and help. Reception (Luke) also good. No accessible parking spaces available or visible. Fairly selfish guests blocking car park exit (chatting) and making it difficult for morning arrivals and leavers. I wish there’d been written information in room about the interesting history of the property. No info given (but I worked it out) about Internet access or restaurant menu and facilities.

I stayed for two nights. The staff were fantastic, really friendly and always making sure everything was ok. The room was a good size, and the bed was really comfortable. Great bathroom too. I had breakfast and dinner there. Breakfast was limited. The cafetiere had great coffee in it, but food was just some small baked pastries, a bit of cereal, and one type of ham and cheese. Dinner was a great experience though. Can highly recommend their fish pie! The wine and drinks selection was really good. Just a couple of points for improvement. 1).If arriving at night it can be difficult to understand where to go as the signage isn't easy to see. Putting lights on the signs, and then have a sign on the doors leading to the courtyard would help. 2) The room didn't have a desk to work on or drawers to put things in. There was plenty of space for something like that. The woods around the location are lovely, and I know they have plans to develop the surroundings. I'd love to go back again when the work is done as I did enjoy my stay overall.

All the staff were lovely. The food was poor and the expectation of management to have only one member of staff to welcome, take orders, make the drinks, waiter and make the food for In excess of 15 covers arriving at breakfast within a space period of 10 minutes (which is the experience we witnessed). Very awkward and unpleasant and in fulfilling to see the croissants and bread emptying out and needing more coffee but would have been too unkind to ask for anything else we would need knowing the whole operation of the restaurant was being manned by 1 person. Felt very bad for him however annoying too that we were in a position to look after the restaurant rather than the restaurant look after us.

Amazing location, beautiful room and friendly staff. Only criticism would be the breakfast. I dont mind continental at all but the choice was very limited and for £20:i definitely would expect more variety.

The rooms were nice and comfortable, just slightly darker than I would have preferred. The staff were excellent—very friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. The restaurant was a real highlight. The food was amazing, and the waiting staff were brilliant. Service was quick, attentive, and genuinely friendly.

Nice functional place to stay for a night. Room was fine and clean. Nice touches, staff were lovely and friendly also milk served in a bottle, nice pottery cups. Could be nicer by having a way to keep the milk cool, or and a coffee machine but they have Nescafé sachets. Felt like it was trying to be swanky but not quite there. Breakfast- continental was £12 and then charged extra £3 for coffee plus included £3.70 service charge for a help yourself breakfast. Breakfast was sparse and food not replenished so not much selection. Asked for yoghurt & marmalade but they didn’t have any. I don’t mind paying a service charge ( they bought more toast when I asked) but surprised that coffee wasn’t included with breakfast !

Gorgeous stay near Enfield / M25. The Ridings are easy to locate and absolutely gorgeous rooms. The courtyard is lovely. Was quiet when we stayed. Manor is currently being renovated but it didn’t disturb us at all. Spacious, super comfortable rooms, carpet just needed a little refresh that’s all. Will absolutely stay here again!

The room was very clean and the bedding very comfortable. However, our room in the Ridings felt damp. The air-conditioning unit is situated directly above the top bunk, which would make a child sleeping in the top bunk feel very cold if you kept the air con on at night. Unusually, there is no table or chairs in the room (despite them being shown in the photo online). There was a kettle but this had to be sat on the floor to use.

The rooms were comfortable and the check in at 11pm after our event was quick. The signposting in the driveway was non existent and hard to find in the dark. Staff in the restaurant for breakfast were rude and even though I realised I hadn’t paid for breakfast on my booking, when we arrived at 9.30am her response was ‘you can pay £17 each but breakfast is nearly over’ my children had some scraps of what was left and one wanted weatabix and I was told ‘all the bowls were in the dishwasher’…… so I had so go and hunt one out for myself. Not the most pleasant end to a weekend away but I guess customer service is not as good as it used to be. Shame as the hotel will be beautiful when finished.

Room was clean but starting to look a bit tired and could do with a bit of work in the bathroom. No air conditioning so the sleep was uncomfortable (there was a fan in the room, but it did not help massively). Hotel is on beautiful grounds in a very safe location.
