The Rex Cinema

The Rex has one huge screen set in a glorious 1938 art-deco proscenium with the sharpest film projection and clearest non-booming sound anywhere in the world. Throughout, its seating is big and soft. It has been called luxurious. It is better. It is civilized. It reminds us of what we have long stopped expecting from public buildings.

Been a few times and it's always a treat as Berkhamsted is not close to our home. Love sitting down front at a table and getting a cheese and crackers plate. Staff always friendly at box office and bar. Every time I go I wish all cinemas were like this.

I can’t recommend this place highly enough.. great stock of everything you need.. David gave my 8yr old daughter a better rifle and some shooting advice and tips on the range and within minutes she was shooting like a sniper.. she absolutely loved it and I can see us being regulars at the range..

If you need help when you arrive you will find a helpful volunteer on the reception desk who can point you in the right direction.

Echo the vast majority of opinions here but must give a huge shout out to the Brownlow Cafe. Typically basic fare but made with evident pride and love - sweet, tangy tomatoes grilled to perfection, thick back bacon with a caramelised sheen and chunky sausages time after time as well as the well-proportioned cakes and quiches. How they do this on a busy day can only be admired. Always a queue but plenty of space and new conversation to be had at the long tables if you want. Well marked trails, open space and a monument to climb to look over it all.

I went to Cecily Day spa for the first time today. I had an appointment for an ear piercing with Gina. Gina was so lovely and put me at ease straight away. She was knowledgable, efficient and I felt completely comfortable even although I was a bit nervous coming in.
