About our Berkhamsted Accommodations
The Pennyfarthing Hotel is a tastefully extended grade 2 listed building, which used to be the Monks House in Berkhamsted dating from the 16th century. Until 50 years ago The Pennyfarthing Hotel's premises were broached on each side by the very famous 'Lanes Nurseries' where vines where grown and exported to France and Germany among others.
The spelling of Berkhamsted's name has changed over the years, pre 1937 different variations included Berkhampstead, Muche Barkhamstede, Berkhamsted Magna, Great Berkhamsted and Berkhamstead although to most locals the town is warmly referred to as Berko.
