The Penny Farthing Hotel
About this property
Escape to the historic market town of Berkhamsted and check in to The Penny Farthing. Located in the heart of the Chiltern Hills, an area of outstanding natural beauty, there’s plenty to see and do on our doorstep.
Take a walk through the woods, explore castle ruins, or jump on a train to the capital. The Penny Farthing is less than a 10-minute walk from Berkhamsted station and you can be into London Euston in just 40 minutes.
Whether you’re joining us for business or leisure you’re sure of a good night's sleep at The Penny Farthing. Not only thanks to our super-comfy beds, but also because we're set back from Berkhamsted's high street. All rooms include free wi-fi, complimentary tea and coffee-making facilities, a flat-screen TV, digital radio, Dyson fan, luxury toiletries, hairdryer, and iron and ironing board, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
A brilliant breakfast, lunch and dinner are just a short walk away at our sister pub, The Kings Arms.
