Elstree Inn

Elstree Inn Overview

First Impressions

The Elstree Inn sits right on Shenley Road in Borehamwood, and honestly, it’s one of those places that surprises you in the best way. This three-star spot doesn’t try to be something it’s not — instead, it nails the fundamentals so well that you’ll find yourself genuinely comfortable from the moment you walk in. The building has that classic English pub-hotel feel, and there’s something reassuring about pulling into their private parking area after a long drive.

Location & Local Appeal

You know what’s brilliant about this place? It’s perfectly positioned for exploring both the Hertfordshire countryside and getting into London when you need to. Borehamwood might not sound glamorous, but it’s actually got this great mix of suburban calm and decent transport links. I mean, you’re close enough to the M25 without hearing the traffic, and the local area has some surprisingly good pubs and cafes within walking distance. Couples seem to really get this location — they’ve been rating it 8.5 out of 10, which honestly makes sense once you experience how peaceful it feels here.

The Room Experience

The rooms at Elstree Inn are what I’d call “properly comfortable” — they’re not trying to win design awards, but everything works exactly as it should. You’ll find clean, well-maintained spaces with decent-sized beds and those little touches that show someone actually cares about guest comfort. The bathrooms are modern enough, and the Wi-Fi actually works reliably (which, let’s be honest, isn’t always a given at smaller places). Each room has that cozy English inn atmosphere without feeling cramped or outdated.

Dining & Social Spaces

The ground floor restaurant area serves solid British fare — nothing fancy, but the kind of food that hits the spot after a day of traveling or exploring. What I really appreciate is that they don’t overcomplicate things; the menu focuses on well-executed classics rather than trying to be trendy. The bar area becomes quite sociable in the evenings, and you’ll often find a good mix of locals and guests chatting over pints. It’s that authentic English pub experience that many hotels try to recreate but rarely get right.

Why Guests Love It

There’s something to be said for a place that consistently delivers on its promises without any pretense. The Elstree Inn has earned its 7.6 rating by focusing on the things that actually matter — clean accommodations, friendly service, reliable amenities, and a location that works for both business and leisure travelers. The fact that recent guests keep praising the location (that 8.5 rating doesn’t lie) tells you everything you need to know about how well this place serves its purpose. It’s the kind of hotel where you’ll sleep well, start your day properly, and leave feeling like you got genuine value for your money.

Best hotels in London blend skyline conservatories, afternoon teas, and spa suites scented with English botanicals.
