In Hartford, you’ll find a mix of characterful pub stays and smaller B&B-style options. If you want a little more choice, there are also a couple of good places a short taxi ride from Hartford station.
For a stay with real local character, Hartford Hall is the obvious starting point. It sits right in the village in a historic, Grade II listed building, with rooms above a busy pub-bar space. It’s a good fit if you like somewhere with an atmosphere built in, and you’re happy to have food and drinks on-site. The room range caters from couples to small families, making it suitable for both short breaks and single-night stays.
If you want something straightforward and close to the station, The Coachman is a reliable option on Chester Road. The rooms sit alongside the pub, so it’s easy to settle in for dinner and stay the night without moving on.
It suits couples, solo travellers, and anyone arriving later in the day who wants a simple, no-faff base in the village. Because it’s a pub stay, it’s also a good choice if you’re travelling with friends and want somewhere sociable for an easy evening.
For a quieter, more traditional feel, The Red Lion offers bed and breakfast in a classic local pub setting. It’s positioned close to Hartford’s church, so you’re right in the heart of the village, and it’s aimed at guests looking for a comfortable night rather than lots of extras.
Rooms include en-suite shower rooms and the usual in-room basics, keeping things practical for short stays. This is the kind of place that works well if you like a local pub downstairs and a simple, friendly place to sleep upstairs.
If you prefer a small, residential-style stay, Eaton House is a B&B option within Hartford itself. Availability tends to be limited, which is common in villages this size, so it’s best suited to travellers who like booking ahead. It’s a good match for couples or solo visitors who want something low-key and quiet, with the benefit of being based in the village rather than on a busier main road.
If you’re happy to stay just outside the village, Beech Hill B&B is worth considering, but be sure to plan on a short taxi ride from Hartford station, especially if you’re arriving with luggage. The setting suits travellers who want a quieter base and value space, with rooms set up in a traditional B&B format.
