We had a very late check in which we let them know in advanced and was fine. When we arrived one of the two rooms were not cleaned, however the staff were extremely helpful and managed to sort it out quickly and moved to a different room. Very happy with the service we received. This is the 2nd year we have stayed here and have had a lovely time both times. Breakfast was great too

A nice and cosy 14 century accommodation.

Arrived and asked if we could book a table at the pub for the evening meal , no problem at all.was the reply . The staff nice and friendly and the food was excellent.

If you go in the summer months a nice area for children to play in the garden.

Out in the sticks but a lovely location.

Been several years since I last stayed here. It is in a beautiful rural hamlet only 20 mins from Welwyn Garden City.

It is a very quaint place to stay that is dog friendly. The staff are also great.

I didn’t realise the bar closed at 8pm on a Monday and the menu was very limited for me as a gluten free diner. I had to have dinner between 6 and 7 ish.

I ordered the soup that was delicious with GF bread. Then my only choice was ham and chips with eggs that catered to my GF needs.

This morning at breakfast, as I was the only staying guest, there was no-one to ask re Gluten Free bread for toast. Breakfast was self service with hot drinks, juices, cereal, breads / croissants and apples. As I am GF I could t see at GF bread so I had some juice, coffee and an apple.

I would definitely go back but now fully appreciate the Monday night early shut down etc.

Room was cosy and warm. Shower very hot which was great. Tea and coffee in room with biscuits.

The room was in OK condition though V small but the overiding thing was that it was freezing. A wall mounted heater is in place but not switched on and it was only 3degC outside. The room took ages to heat up and was not warm by the time I went to bed; this should have been pre-heated prior to my arrival. The courtyard outside was filled with deep puddles and mostly pitch black so I couldn't see to avoid the puddles and therefore ended up with wet feet.

The stay was great. To say it was old is an understatement, 700 years is the oldest I've ever stayed in and the condition the owners have maintained is brilliant. If you're looking for a historical twee experience, go for this.

The cost of the hotel and meals is inexpensive and good quality, the breakfast basic continental but Ok.

We rarely get a break from our business so we are always so happy to find little gems like the Brocket. We loved the relaxed charm of the whole place. The roads accessing it may be a little windy & tight but Ayot is such a beautiful area it is worth the trip. We parked outside the pub & were greeted by the friendly team who showed us the room which had water left out & tea/coffee making facilities. It's everything you would expect from a 14th century inn. Beautiful features, lovely garden (we loved feeding the guinea pigs). We ate lunch on the second day & the food was fab. Breakfast each morning was very relaxed (available until 10am, alot of places could earn from this). Nice selection at breakfast & we loved the lady who served us throughout such a character.
If you return late to the hotel, make sure you have the front door key, thankfully the owner lives on site so we managed to get in. If you fancy exploring there are several walks in the area with qr code for all on the entrance wall. We opted for the short loop walk which was beautiful. We ate locally at Megans on the Green in Welwyn Garden which was lovely & the town has an array of shops.
Will certainly visit again & please remember it is a 14th century inn & if things don't work be patient.
Thanks for a lovely stay.

Room and bathroom were clean, but the bedroom could do with a little tlc, things like the casing on the emergency light having flies in, and some of the decoration items on the shelves had seen better days. Bed, although noisy when you first sit on it, was comfortable and slept well. Bathroom clean, although couldn't open the window.
Ate in the pub on the first night and a good meal - can recommend the rib-eye steak, and breakfasts good.

There's a large beer garden, and children's play area, together with a large animal run, with guinea pigs, rabbits, budgies, parakeets and love birds.

Location is off the beaten track, however it is very quiet and no road noise. Free internet access is also available.

Overall, a good stay over two nights, would recommend.

Positives - Exceptional staff - very hardworking and always happy to help when asked and answer questions.
- Very Attractive and quaint period bedroom with a large spacious en-suite attached.
- Comfy kingsized bed.
- Traditional pub menu but super evening meal ( If you need to avoid salt, do mention it as potatoes are well salted.) and full breakfast with generous portions. We have eaten here several times before and there has been consistent excellent cooking every time
- lots of towels and pristine bathroom
.
Negatives - It would have been helpful if we’d been given useful information on arrival or printed in our room - eg wifi code, time of breakfast, etc. We had to interrupt the only member of staff on duty each time to find out.
- We also arrived on a very hot day to find the 2 opening windows in our room had been removed for renovation and the apertures boarded up. Staff were apologetic but it was too hot to stay in our room until it cooled down after dark (and was unattractive too) and we weren’t offered a free drink or anything to make up for the inconvenience.
- lumpy pillows - disappointing when bedding is good quality

We enjoyed staying at the Brocket Arms for weekend. The room was clean and comfortable and equipped with what we needed (kettle, water, wardrobe and desk/dressing table as well as TV and en suite shower room). The room was modern but retained its 16th century character with exposed beams in the bedroom. We especially enjoyed the food which was high quality, well cooked 'pub fayre' (steak, sausage and mash, fish and chips and a good selection of 'proper' puddings) and breakfast was excellent too. There are opportunities for some lovely walks both in the immediate vicinity and beyond and the B&B is convenient for wider travel in the area while being situated in a charming village.

Country Pub stay

This pub is in the middle of nowhere and therefore we woke up to the sound of birds, not traffic! The breakfast was the best I have ever had.
The bed was super comfortable and the bed linen was very good quality along with the large shower towels.
The room would benefit from a hanging rail which would fit behind the door.
The shower was a bit odd but worked ok. The cubicle would benefit from a wall 'basket' which could hold gel, shampoo etc.
We enjoyed our stay and would come again if in the area. The landlady was very friendly and obviously worked hard.

How do you rate a centuries old inn?

Staff and pub locals were delightful. The inn is quirky. A small aviary and zoo was a great feature for kids and adults alike, with very large rabbit guinea pigs and meerkats. Food was pub grub and didnt pretend to be more. Good ales. A world of difference from chain hotels, although they might have the edge in some respects (especially over a deep, high bath which might have benefitted
from a set of steps).
But the friendliness of the people (staff and locals) made all the difference.

Quirky

Very much out in the countryside.. Quirky historical Pub/Inn. Comfy bed, but icy cold bathroom with no heating. No heating was on in the bedroom either upon arrival, (so it took a while to warm up even when the radiator was turned on) there was however a message in the room to turn it off along with the lights when leaving the room. Definately rodents in the wall (scratching, kept me up somewhat during the night).
Evening meal was great! Breakfast was strange.. Felt like one was in somebody's house helping myself, no offer of a cooked breakfast though, just left to my own devices. Was expecting a cooked breakfast for 130 pounds a night (as was sold as breakfast included).

Pros - Property is located in a beautiful area in a little village. Room and bathroom was very clean and tidy with plenty of extras within the room.
Cons- Bearing in mind it was -5 during the night. The duvet wasn’t thick enough so I woke up really cold at 4am and I ended up getting dressed and also trying to sleep in my coat to keep warm. There was an electric oil radiator provided but it wasn’t enough to keep the room warm as it’s a 14th century building. This won’t be an issue in the summer or if a thicker duvet can be provided.
The water was luke warm but not hot enough for a shower especially as the room was cold. Again, not an issue in the summer months.
Breakfast, I had allocated 30/40 min because I had work. I notified the day before a 7am breakfast time. When I came down at 7am, the owner was only switching the lights on. 30/40 minutes wasn’t enough time to wait for the owner to get set up in the kitchen and then start cooking a cooked breakfast from scratch. So I ended up having toast. When I received my toast the host then left to get the kids ready for the school run. Don’t expect a top up of tea if you wanted it.
Overall- £127 for one night is far too expensive for the experience that I received. Not being able to have a shower and having to leave without a hot breakfast was quiet frustrating.

A very quirky ancient pub in a lovely quiet location. Food was excellent, both in the pub garden in the evening and at breakfast. Service was sometimes a bit off-hand. Room was starting to look a little worn and disappointingly had not been properly cleaned after the previous guests. The beer garden could do with a good tidy up. The sound of the diamond doves in the little aviary is delightful! Overall an enjoyable stay.

Lovely old pub with well appointed rooms adjacent

The room was fine and the breakfast excellent. Staff we met were very friendly and helpful. I had made 2 e-mail enquiries to their booking e-mail address, neither of which were replied to, which is less positive. No toilet roll had been left in the room but we had to leave for a function elsewhere before we could alert staff - I'm sure they would have provided quickly on request.
Lovely location and there is even a \"secret zoo\" in the beer garden. It was an \"open gardens\" day in the village, which explains why parking was such a nightmare (we eventually managed to park down the road) but I'd imagine its always quite busy as the pub seems very popular

Not suitable for a business trip

For work it’s not really suitable. Room was cold, then too warm, then too cold. Just kept me awake. Bed was squeaky and small. TV was tiny. Chair was uncomfortable. Bathroom was very basic. I appreciate the building is very old and I’m probably not their clientele. On the positive side: Breakfast was fantastic, staff friendly and helpful.

Beautiful inn with great staff

Beautiful Inn, very friendly staff and also very accomodating of awkward trip requirments. Reminded me of staying at my Grandparents 16th centruy cottage as a kid so top marks all day long. Be aware of low beams and small rooms, but this is noted in the advert anyway as it is an old building
