Comfortable and attractive

10.0

The hotel is clean , comfortable and attractive. The beds are comfortable and we had a large room. There is plenty of parking and the hotel is conveniently near, but not too near, the M25 junction 20. It is by an attractive waterway and the staff of are particularly attentive and welcoming. We have stayed there twice, once over Christmas, and I commend the mince pies. They do a fantastic breakfast and nothing is too much trouble for ' Shawn' and his staff. The same staff have looked after us on each occasion, which was reassuringly familiar when we arrived for our second stay. A good experience!

Great staff and service

10.0

On arrival which was early (!) Shaun at the reception did all he could to ensure I could work and the hotel was warm and welcoming. We were found a room that was ready for us sooner than expected. Excellent service and I would come again - thankyou for looking after us and the luggage!

Okay for the money

2.0

Taking a “TV hotel inspector” type of approach… Greeting at reception was good. Decor in room okay, toilet seat didn’t fit Room felt dusty. There was tea & coffee facilities in the room, but no milk and no telephone to call down to reception so couldn’t make any drinks in the room. Room was facing the road so there was a little road noise. Breakfast was okay nothing to get excited about, but there was no menus so was not aware of choices and had full English recommended, but was not given any choice of egg and the sausage looked nice, but was not cooked in the middle so had to leave, as there was no one around to talk to. On leaving reception was not manned so left key card in glass bowl on the desk. No real problem there as we had pre-paid.
