Your Hotel

Grim's Dyke Hotel

The award winning Grim's Dyke Hotel is marketed as one of London's finest small hotels but it's actually in Harrow Weald in Middlesex.

Every bedroom in the ivy-clad lodge wing will have been totally refurbished by the time we arrive in 2008. They have been designed to please discerning business travellers from all over the world, as well as the United Kingdom, so say no more!

Sunday
We depart late morning before stopping off enroute at Notcutts Garden Centre, St Albans. You can take a leisurely stroll around the centre and even take lunch, at your own expense.

We then travel onwards to our hotel, which used to be the residence of W.S. Gilbert. The hotel's head gardener or managing director will provide a guided tour of the splendid hotel gardens and woodlands.
