Andrew Beale
Managing Director
As the third generation of the Beale family to work here, and the eighth generation of the family business, I am proud to say that not only do we have a wonderful sense of history, but an equally important sense of the quality service demanded by today’s guests.
Our motto is ‘Generations of Excellence since 1769’, reflecting not only the long history of the company, but also the long service of many of our staff and the loyalty of our guests, many of whom have been coming as families over three or more generations to West Lodge Park.
We have been recently awarded the highest rating by the AA of any 4 star hotel in North London and Hertfordshire.
I trust you will be tempted enough by this website to pay us a visit. Have a look at the three minute video (above) to get a good impression of this wonderful hotel.
