De Vere Latimer Estate

Placed in a the conference block at the other side of the complex, no air conditioning and a very small room. I had to open the windows to cool the room but that just made it very noisy

I booked for two nights. Never having stayed here before, I was unsure as to the correct room to book, so went for the cheapest option. An earlier review had mentioned that there seemed to be little difference between standard and superior rooms. My room was in an adjacent building about 100yds from the main reception. The common areas were rather unprepossessing and the bar not staffed. The room itself was fine, if not well ventilated. No air conditioning and I had to ask for a fan which was supplied. On the ground floor the room had a door opening on to a small space behind the building. Interestingly the door had no lock, just a very weak chain keeping it ‘secure’. The walk to the restaurant and bar (in the old, original, building) was quite lengthy, so not great if one has limited mobility. This building was really rather lovely, especially the lounge next to the bar. Great views and a very grand appearance. The dinner menu in the restaurant was limited, so I ordered something simple from the bar. All was satisfactory. I walked back to the room through the grounds. These may once have been well tended, but are now somewhat scruffy, which is a shame. Should I return, I will book a room in the old building, which would negate the need to shuffle to and fro from the block I was in. Staff were helpful and friendly.

Lovely little place; great value for the room and facilities. And a short taxi into Chesham or Amersham.

Needs updating and modernisation.

It was only a brief stay but the staffer very helpful and the setting is lovely.

Lovely hotel with a stately home feel. Stayed for 3 nights whilst working in Chesham and ate in the restaurant each night. The menu is very good although quiet pricey, however there is a bar area with separate menu which is also very good.

The difference between a de-luxe room and standard seemed to only amount to the number of cushions on the bed. I have stayed here many times but normally in a standard room, this time I used a deluxe and that seemed to be the only difference. The bathroom was also tiny and needed some upgrades as it appeared to have quite some water damage on the bath panel

Given it's January and the weather is cold there was no blanket and only a thin duvet. We couldn't get the radiator in the room to come on - so a little chilly. Water was slow to drain in bathroom sink.

We had a lovely stay. The hotel has good amenities and wonderful history with beautiful original features. Only slight negative was our room was very cold and you couldn't increase the temperature.

Stay was a present for my daughter (mini moon) - staff had spent time to prepare the suite with hearts and welcome - superb service. Thank You DeVere team
