De Vere Latimer Estate Lodging Business in Chesham, Latimer

Reviews

1. Martha Djourdjin ★★★★☆

   An old mansion converted into a hotel. It has facilities for business meetings. We were 40 people and needed different rooms for a week of meetings, and the facilities were ok. Some rooms had no window. It is conveniently located approx 30min from Heathrow, so when flying people feom around the world, it was ok. The food is not impressive. Some dishes are way too small, sone not fresh (sat on the cou ter for a while), and overall very bland. Breakfast is English, every day. The staff is nice and helpful, but they are understaffed, so expect slow bar, no laundry service, no room service. The rooms are small, some are very dark. Nevertheless, one sleeps quite well. The park is pretty to walk around in. Not really child friendly. Expect lots of stairs and going up and down a hill a lot.

   We had the most amazing stay at De Vere Latimer! We booked through Holidays Extra as we were heading to Harry Potter World for my boyfriend’s 21st birthday, and it truly exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, all the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. We also had dinner at the restaurant, and to our surprise, they sang Happy Birthday to my boyfriend without us even asking – such a thoughtful touch that made the evening extra special. A special mention to Sarah, our waitress, who was absolutely lovely and made our dinner experience even more enjoyable. The breakfast the next morning was also fantastic, with a great selection and everything cooked to perfection. Honestly, we couldn’t have had a more lovely time. The whole experience was so memorable, and we’re already looking forward to our next stay. Highly recommend! Thank you to everyone at De Vere Latimer for making my boyfriend’s birthday celebration unforgettable!

   We stayed overnight at The Latimer and were extremely pleased with our experience. Upon arrival, we were greeted at reception by Chris, who went above and beyond to accommodate our group by arranging three rooms for us, despite only having two booked. His professionalism and willingness to help made a great first impression. The following morning, the breakfast was fantastic — excellent quality and service. The only downside to our stay was during our visit to the spa. We encountered an older gentleman (maybe a spa member) who did not seem to understand that one member of our group has additional needs. A little more patience, kindness, and consideration would have made the experience more enjoyable for everyone, and not shouting at us! But this is not a reflection of the hotel & stay. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and truly appreciated the hospitality of the team, especially Chris at reception. We hope to return in the future.

   I just wanted to take a moment to thank Chris for the incredible service he gave me over the phone while booking my hotel. From the start, he was polite, friendly, and genuinely cared about getting everything right. It’s my anniversary, and not only did he sort out a smooth booking, but he personally upgraded my room and even arranged for roses to be set up before our arrival — that extra effort honestly meant a lot. You can tell when someone takes pride in their work, and Chris truly went above and beyond to make the experience special before I’ve even stepped foot in the hotel. If every company had a Chris, customer service would be on another level. Massive thanks again — he definitely deserves recognition (and a bonus!) for the way he treats guests.

   A lovely hotel with beautiful surroundings. The staff were very welcoming, we were a little early but was given a room straight away. The room was cosy, clean and had a small outside area overlooking fields. The food and drink were a little expensive but its a hotel, so it was not unexpected. Hubby was not keen on the black burger bun but other than that it was nice. Breakfast was lovely, a range of foid to choose from. It was quiet, other han the odd child running up and down the corridor, it did not last long. There is free parking outside. We slept peacefully. We would stay here again.

   Firstly the main building is beautiful, the food is great and the estate itself is something to behold. I stayed just 1 night (midweek) in the Mews Building. Like the majority of the other reviews the bed was very comfortable but the room was in a poor state. With holes in the walls and thick dirt on most surfaces it is a stark difference to the grandness of the estate. With a small amount of investment this place could become a 4 star hotel but their lack of interest is apparent as the reviews have never been acknowledged.

   Beautiful settings and cosy room. I booked a superior room for me, my husband and baby. It was clean and tidy which was what we wanted. Tea, coffee and kettle. Thick fluffy towels and a couple of toiletries. I would say a couple of flannels wouldn’t go a miss but apart from that was a very pleasant stay. We had dinner in the restaurant and breakfast next morning can’t complain was all tasty! My only issue I could say was the coffee machine but awkward to use, not the best. Staff were all polite, even the younger ones. Very nice and good service overall. Loved the library, for drinks and food. I would visit again

   Unless you physically have your room key in your hand, your booking isn't secure! They cancelled the bridal suite where the bride to be was meant to stay the night before her wedding LESS THEN A WEEK BEFORE THE WEDDING!!! They also cancelled all the Wedding's party's rooms... Luckily our bookings for the wedding day itself were kept! They relocated everyone 15-20 minutes down the road and gave little to no compensation to everyone. A few drinks vouchers for the other hotel and a very small bar tab for the wedding day... otherwise all we got was a "sorry". I also left 5 messages (via phone and email) for a manager to call me back and no manager ever did. And on the wedding day, one of the staff member behind the bar wasn't old enough to serve alcohol so effectively there was only 1 person behind the bar. The customer service received from this estate by all the wedding party was nothing but terrible. Think twice before booking here, especially if it's for your wedding

   I booked this hotel for my Husbands birthday present and booked the superior room as a 'treat'. This hotel is definitely not a treat and the room was not superior! I've stayed in nice Ibis Budget Hotels. So gutted as I had looked forward to it for weeks as we are currently living in a building site. The advert has very misleading photos. I've never complained at a hotel even if it is a bit run down for the price but this was actually dirty. Stains all over the carpet and the throw on the bedding, rotten bath panel, and a damp smell, the carpet was folding up and the windows and walls were dirty. We travelled 4 hours and had 40 minutes to arrive, get a shower and go on to Harry Potter Studios I notified the hotel when I made my first complaint, and they sent maintenance but nothing was achieved. I then had no choice but to use the shower as we needed to leave in 15 minutes. Still, no manager arrived. We then for the first time ever decided to just leave and hope we could book somewhere else. I could probably stay in a run-down room but not a dirty one. Was not the birthday treat we were expecting! Like I said I've stayed in better Ibis Budget hotels this was more like a student hall or hostel
