We had our Wedding at Coltsfoot in December 2011. We had an awesome day. We hired the whole venue. Coltsfoot is perfect for an intimate Wedding. The rooms, staff, service, food and bar are exceptional. They also know a lot of local Wedding suppliers that were all fantastic. As it’s a review I thought I would also mention some constructive...

My husband and I spent a night at Coltsfoot and very much enjoyed ourselves. The accommodation is lovely - very comfortable, warm and cosy. Loved the bathroom with airbath and power shower. The restaurant is superb with fantastic cuisine and excellent service. The only criticism I might make is that the welcome was not as warm as I might have... More

My wife and I booked the whole of the Coltsfoot (15 rooms plus restaurant) for a special celebration party last weekend. We were already familiar with it, having stayed a couple of times and eaten in the restaurant other times in addition. For those that don't know it, it's a barn conversion hotel, with rooms set out around a pretty... More

I have stayed at Coltsfoot many times and can recommend it as a lovely small hotel in a very rural and relaxing location, yet only a few miles from businesses in Welwyn Garden City. The rooms are large with a separate sitting and sleeping area and are comfortable, well-furnished and very quiet with a view over fields. The restaurant is... More

We held our wedding reception here and it was even better than we could have dreamed for. The ambience is wonderful; so relaxing and friendly with a luxury feel. The hotel has a lovely peaceful countryside setting and the layout is great. Guests were able to move between their bedrooms, the lawn, bar and restaurant easily without ever being too... More

We held our wedding here on 4 June and Coltsfoot didn't disappoint us in any way. The staff made sure our whole day went without a hitch and in fact we would go so far as to say the whole day was just perfect. The venue is just gorgeous and the rooms are beautifully decorated and furnished in a traditional... More

With regard to the comments made by this gentleman:- I personally went into the room 10 minutes after his departure with our 2 senior housekeepers, there was not a cobweb to be seen, the drawers had been dusted the day before his arrival (as per our weekly check), there was a thumbnail size stain of blood on the top of...

This hotel is a bit of an oxymoron really, amazingly thoughtful in parts but pretty dreadful in others! Firstly, my room had a staircase! A duplex hotel room is a rarity but this had one, and it was nice not to see where I was sleeping from the sofa. The rooms are a bit dated but well kept. We were... More
