Templars And Carvery

The advertised wi fi didn't exist Very noisy room needs double glazing , over priced , desperately needs redecorating, I will definitely not return

On walking into the hotel it appeared drab and carpet well worn. No one on reception so had to wait until someone came to us from behind bar. No “hello did you have a good trip here?” No small talk just have you stayed before and your room is on forth floor. Room was ok. Bed comfy but only one bedside table and lamp. Therefore I couldn’t read when my husband went to sleep. Shower had lots of black mould and was brown dirt on outside of shower. In this day and age thats not acceptable, there are plenty of good cleaning products out there. I realise its an old place but plumbing was so noisy! We had a glass of wine from the bar which came from a small bottle and was awful. Breakfast was ok was called out from behind bar do you want a full English? Weren’t asked how we would like eggs done and coffee we had to make ourselves from a Nescafe sachet like the ones in room. Wasn’t impressed at all with this place. Go somewhere else.

We visited this place for a meal many years ago when it was called Zeus and the experience was poor. We returned to see if would be good to bring friends to dine. However it was awful. The food when it finally turned up was cool having been served on cold plates and the sweets took an age to arrive, though to be fair were much better than the main courses. The lunchtime clientele shouted around the bar and bad language was the norm. So our conclusion: avoid!

As we were visiting Brown Gammons next door, we popped into Templars and had a pensioners special which turned out to be very good and excellent value. The service was also spot on and we will certainly pay it a visit when we 're next in Baldock. If I had to be critical, I 'd say the decor and the whole tenor of the place looks a bit jaded it 's faded glory really and nothing that a quick lick of paint, some new carpet and a new doormat in particular wouldn 't cure.

Two of us stayed at the above hotel for one night as my daughter was graduating from Cambridge University early the next morning. The cost was a reasonable £70.00 for the night including breakfast. We were given a double room each I must say the rooms were beautiful, very clean the decor was very pleasant. The hotel is right in the town centre close to all amenities. I would definitely stay there again if I was ever in the area again.
