The bedrooms are spacious and elegantly decorated, with a flat-screen TV with Sky Sports and tea and coffee making facilities.

Please be advised that as Sopwell House is a Georgian manor house, all bedrooms and suites are individual in their layout and size, so while rooms in the same category have the same generic benefits, individual configurations may differ. Guests should know that the room image shown online for a particular category may not correspond exactly to the room they receive when checking-in. Sopwell House Hotel has a Brasserie restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, while showcasing the finest of locally sourced ingredients and a celebration of comforting British classics, reimagined with a creative twist. For dinner, Omboo offers a sharing experience inspired by the spice routes of Asia and the Far East. Light meals and hot drinks are available in the Conservatory Bar and Octagon Bar is open into the night. The property is 1.3 miles from St Albans Abbey train station.

Pros +

  • The staff, the location, the spa - all exceptional
  • Rooms were fantastic, loved the interior design of everything. Perfect bathroom and lighting in the room. Great provision for plug sockets.

Cons -

  • The signage in the hotel is poor and confusing, every floor says RECEPTION! The passage on the ground floor with ramp is completely inadequate, should have been widened. I was disappointed that my room did not give me access to the Club at Cottonmill. I feel that the booking did not make it clear that you could not access this spa. The photos of this spa was what made me want to book a spa treatment in the first place, and try the hotel.
