A swan takes off from The Broadwater, an artificial lake on the River Lea, with Brocket Hall behind. Brocket Hall was built by James Paine in 1760, although there had been two previous buildings on the site, the first dating from 1239. It was the home of two Prime Ministers, Lord Melbourne and Lord Palmerston, who died at Brocket in 1865 while in office. It was later the home of the Baronets Brocket, the third Baronet converting it into a hotel, which is its current use. It is grade I listed - for listing particulars see http://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=158435&resourceID=5.

The check-in is a little weird having 2 receptionists in a self-check-in place. Also my booking was cancelled with no notice, but they did reinstate it - fortunately. The hotel and room is central and low cost - it had all you really need. No frills.
