The Manor Elstree

The Manor, formerly known as the Edgwarebury Hotel, was founded on rich heritage and traditional values of quality and originality, and it stands on the site of an old Tudor house, which dates back to 1540. The Manor offers a variety of rooms to guests who wish to explore Hertfordshire or have business in London and prefer the countryside setting. Our Deluxe Double rooms are housed in the main Tudor building. The Deluxe rooms on the second floor feature panoramic views of the London skyline. When booking the Deluxe Double room you can choose a double or king sized bed. From Edgware you can get the Northern or Jubilee Tube Line into London. Each Tube Line is only a ten minute drive from the hotel. The buildings original features have been largely retained with several pieces throughout the hotel being of considerable age. The front door was originally part of the dungeons in Lewes Castle. As one stands in the entrance hall attention is immediately drawn to the outstanding features of the fireplace with Italian carved columns supporting the ornate mantelpiece. It is understood that some of the wood was actually from ships involved in the battle of the Spanish Armada. The beams and cornerstones have been used to decorate the ceilings in reception. The wooden panels in the Beaufort Room are believed to date back to the 1600s. In the bar, there is a particularly fine set of old Gothic panels made from ships lockers. The fire place over mantel features some fine carving which frames a medieval Spanish painting produced on a leather canvas. The hotels location, just 2 miles or a 10 minute drive from Elstree Studios means that it has featured in many television programmes and films over the years. In addition to this claim to fame the Hotel can boast of having entertained famous celebrities, including Peter Sellers, Tom Cruise and John Cleese to mention a few.
