48 handpicked places to stay

Hertfordshire's hotels and B&Bs reflect a county built around commuter towns and business travel, with St Albans offering the most character. Sopwell House and St Michael's Manor Hotel sit among converted country properties near the cathedral city, making it the obvious base for anyone wanting a proper night out or a spa weekend rather than just a bed near a junction.
Stevenage and Bishops Stortford lean more towards practical stays, with the Cromwell Hotel, Holiday Inn Stevenage and a cluster of Premier Inns covering conference visits, airport transfers and motorway stopovers. Proximity to Stansted makes Bishops Stortford useful for early flights, while the M25 and A1(M) put chain hotels like the Holiday Inn Express within easy reach for those simply passing through.
Smaller independent options such as Ardmore House Hotel and Abbington Hotel offer a quieter alternative to the larger chains, particularly if you want somewhere closer to a town centre than the ring-road hotels allow.
