“Hertford House strikes me as a stylish, refurbished Georgian townhouse, especially appealing for its in-house art gallery showcasing local artists. The subterranean cocktail bar and locally sourced restaurant add to the boutique feel, while families and business travelers alike should appreciate the central Hertford location near the train station. While some past guests mention some aspects of the rooms appearing slightly worn, I see this venue as a solid choice for private events.”
