Harpenden House Hotel is a beautiful Grade II listed Georgian town house with a rich history set in the country Market Town of Harpenden. At the beginning of the 1800s it was a 'school for young ladies', subsequently it has been a private house and a convent.The hotel has been operating as a hotel since 1970 and many of the original period features remain, including a large 18th Century fireplace in the Welcombe lounge. Harpenden House Hotel has undergone a transformation with an investment in 2007/08 of over £2 million. The hotel now offers the most luxurious rooms and our Georgian Restaurant, Welcombe Lounge and bar areas have all been transformed, which has enhanced their original charm and character, while offering a more modern setting.

OK but not great
It is a modern bed factory . Everything works but it is rather minimal and a little tired. Some weeds growing in the parking area make one wonder if the manager is keen on keeping things sharp. Very friendly and helpful staff.
