Perfect stop - great food

Super place for a night before heading into London for a job. I reall surprise. Rooms are well appointed and well executed - staff super friendly and food very good. Such a welcome change from the normal outer London hotel. I hope the high standards continue. Also such a beautiful building - steeped in history.

Great Hotel

This is an excellent hotel which has been newly refurbished beautifully. Rooms are extremely comfortable, quiet and well equipped. The delicious welcome treats and personalised card in the room are a lovely touch. Hotel is in a great location for long walks in the forest or to visit the local shops/restaurants. We didn’t eat at the hotel on this occasion but plan on doing so in the future as dining area looks very inviting. We will be using this hotel on a regular basis as we have family and friends nearby.

Stayed in a ‘Cosy’ room. The room was very small. No working extractor in the bathroom which resulted in heavy condensation and wetness on all the surfaces.

We are.coming back!!

Absolutely loved this hotel. Beautiful touches that made all the difference. Hand written welcone with some aweet treats. Ear plugs and pillow spray were also a welcome addition (albeit being in the middle of a forest wasnt at all noisey) just one niggle, we followed the coffee pod machine instrucrions 3 times, but we still only got hot water. So much tea and coffee in the room, that we were still able to enjoy beverages without being too disappointed with the machine.

Lovely hotel surroundings

A decent stay in wonderful surroundings. Nice room, well stocked with coffee and tea, ironing board etc and bramley shower products. Body lotion would be a touch. Room was not cleaned but I believe that they usually are. Late checkout (1 hour) is £25 extra unless you book directly. A little inflexible but maybe that’s me just expecting something for nothing and more a reflection of me than them. Will definitely return.
Lovely terrace at the front and back. Great in the sunshine (minus the smokers)
Lovely bathrooms, rainforest showers and Bramley bath products.
Nice little touches and furnishings. Very cosy.
Comfortable but ideally would go a size up. This is the ‘comfy’ room size.
