About The Old Cock Inn
The Old Cock Inn occupies a characterful old building right on the High Street in Harpenden, Hertfordshire, the sort of coaching-inn setting that gives it a traditional, lived-in charm rather than a chain-hotel polish. With only six rooms, it's a small and intimate place to stay, each room fitted with an en-suite bathroom and the option of having drinks brought up, and the whole property set up as adults-only accommodation.
Downstairs there's a proper restaurant and bar for eating and drinking without needing to leave the building, alongside breakfast each morning, free WiFi and 24-hour reception for flexible arrivals. Outside, guests have use of a garden, a picnic area and outdoor seating, useful for a quiet drink or a bit of fresh air between exploring the town.
The location on the High Street puts guests within easy reach of other pubs, bars and restaurants nearby, along with entertainment options and a golf course for anyone wanting to fill a day. It suits those after a traditional inn stay in the heart of Harpenden rather than a large hotel with extensive facilities.
