Review of Hertfordshire University

The University of Hertfordshire

Advantages: modern learning resource centre
Disadvantages: some departments not very good due to lack of research

...The university of hertfordshire is one of the "new" universities in UK. But believe me it proves that new can be gold as well. It has an excellent learning resource centre, one of the best in the whole of UK. It has 4 research rating in departments like computer science and astronomy. The university is particularly good in fields of science, engineering and computers. The other aspect which makes this university stand out is the fee, it has one of the lowest fees compared to other UK universities. I am a research student at the university doing my M.Sc. in astrnomy by research. There is excellent research work going on in astronomy at the university. Hertfordshire is also a nice little place to live in. The university is spread over four different campuses with the main campus based in Hatfield. Hatfield is a little town with a mix...

Review of The Bricklayers Arms, Hertfordshire

"Please, sir, can I have your autograph?"

Advantages: meeting the celebrities, good on a summers day, free
Disadvantages: long waits, not all stop, some nutters that go there, no seats

...Centre is located in Elstree and Borehamwood in Hertfordshire. It was opened in 1914, and originally known as Neptune Studios. The BBC bought over the studios in 1983 when it became available. Since then, many top shows have been filmed there, including Grange Hill and Top of the Pops. There is a total of nine stages, of various sizes, in the studios which can be used for various productions. Some are also sound proof, which is always a good thing if you have more than one noisy show in action! There are currently two main TV shows which take up space in Elstree Studios: EastEnders and Holby City. Although I cannot be sure exactly which uses which part, I know that Elstree occupy the left hand side of the building, whereas Holby' dominate the right section. Of course they do not take up the entire space, but both have very large casts...

Review of BBC Elstree Centre, Borehamwood, Hertfordshire

Relaxation? No way! Super stress!

Advantages: Pretty swimming pool
Disadvantages: Noisy, bland restaurant food, rude staff

...Last year, I was browsing through a copy of a magazine for brides. I saw an advert for a weekend relaxation package for Sopwell House. It was marketed as ideal for brides and their mothers/bridesmaids wanting to pamper themselves in the run up to the big day. So, I saved up and saved up until I had the required £119.90 to treat my mum. I wanted to say thanks to her for everything she had done to help. Sopwell House is a country house and spa in St. Albans, Hertfordshire. I thought it would be the perfect opportunity for a bit of pampering and relaxation. How wrong I was! >> ARRIVAL << On arrival at the hotel, we found that our hotel room was not yet ready. We were asked to ?relax? by the bar (no complimentary drinks). An hour later, our room was still not ready. What were they doing? Laying fresh rose petals on our...

Review of Sopwell House (Hertfordshire)

Not An Anorak In Sight At The 1st Class End

Advantages: Beats coach touring into a cocked hat
Disadvantages: Pick-up points mainly London or Home Counties

...OK! OK! I admit it. I am a train “anorak”, but I’d like to think that over the years, I’ve got a bit more sophisticated in my habits. No more scruffy notebooks for me, sitting at the windy end of Reading’s platforms, with a few hastily prepared sandwiches. Oh no! It’s Hertfordshire Railtours for me. Many outside of the “train fan” world may not have heard of them, which is a shame because, as their name implies, they run tours by rail. True, they always try to secure an unusual form of traction, often hired from EW&S Rail, normally known for freight services. The prospect of being hauled by a non-passenger locomotive is part of the attraction for some, but for me it’s the full English Breakfast taken as you romp off to some other part of the country for the day (normally the day...

Review of Hertfordshire Rail Tours

Best kept secret in Hertfordshire

Advantages: Superb location, cosy atmosphere, only 20 rooms, Bar you wont want to leave
Disadvantages: Not exactly cheap and no breakfast.

...The two brewers hotel is a small but charming hotel in the picturesque and very English village of Chipperfield. in Hertfordshire. Chipperfield is about 2 miles from Kings Langley which in turn is out about 2 miles north of Watford... but don't hold that against The Two Brewers!. Living near Chipperfield I have long been a frequent visitor to the village. It has the compulsary village green onto which the Two Brewers overlooks, where cricket is played and families picnic on the well kept lawn complete with red phonebox and ancient oak. I was lucky unlucky enough to have to vacate my property due to essential works but lucky enough to spend two nights at The Two Brewers hotel. History Founded as an alehouse in 1799 by Robert Waller At one time it consisted of three old cottages, but it is now a low-slung building with paned...

Review of Two Brewers Hotel, Chipperfield

Can't think of a title :-(

Advantages: You don't have to drive yourself and they're helpful, kind and courteous.
Disadvantages: Sometimes delays or problems but they try their best

...Before I begin please allow me to explain that just because they're called Hertfordshire Rail Tours (HRT) doesn't mean they are exclusively for Hertfordshire and/or just do tours around Hertfordshire via Rail. ~ About ~ Hertfordshire Rail Tours create trips, a.k.a: Rail Tours, around the United Kingdom and sometimes aboard. Destination could include anywhere of interest or to go see a special event like the Edinburgh Royal Tattoo. Their offices are based in Hertfordshire. ~ Tours ~ Most of the tours run from a major London station like; Paddington, Kings Cross, Waterloo or even Euston. The trains will normally stop at significant stations along the route so that people may use a station more closer to them to save having to go into London just to go out of London. For example, lets say I was on a tour to Edinburgh...

Review of Hertfordshire Rail Tours

this uni is cool :)

Advantages: everythings fab!
Disadvantages: HATFIELD

...As a fresher starting at this university in September this year I can say that the University is a great place to study. The whole experience that University life has offered so far has been brilliant and the University of Hertfordshire is fully equipped to offer all students a fab experience. The main draw to the University (academically) is the fact that courses can be mixed and matched; students originally planning to study history can find themselves studying as different language or accountancy! This diversity is encouraged in the University allowing students to choose options for themselves which they wouldn't have thought possible. These opportunities are given to all students. I am currently studying Spanish, Journalism, History and Philosophy! The courses are fun and very interactive. Even lectures which are traditionally...

Work, Rest or Play

Advantages: Helpful, friendly staff and overall, value for money.
Disadvantages: Rooms a little small.

...My hubby and I were recently invited to a meal down in St. Albans. Being uncertain of the area we decided to book into a hotel for the night. The Hertfordshire Moat House is the perfect place for somewhere to stay overnight. The Hotel staff were friendly and helpful. It is the ideal for an informal meeting, lunch or a conference venue. Moat House Hotels can cater for most peoples needs, whether business or pleasure. I had recently been sent a voucher entitling me to a half price two night stay in any Moat House in the UK, we decided to make a weekend of it! The Hertfordshire Moat House is situated near the Roman City of St Albans with its historic Abbey Cathedral. The hotel is situated in an ideal location for discovering Woburn Abbey, Whipsnade Zoo or for spending time in Brent Cross or the Galleria shopping centre. It is also ideal...
