Great, friendly staff - specifically a young woman with dark curly hair - can't remember her name - so friendly and helpful! Had the Eggs Benedict - perfectly poached eggs! Nice quiet stay - room was clean and the bathroom perfectly updated. Bonus - Mediterranean grill and a well-stocked convenience store right around the corner for those inevitable snacky moments. Also, the place is >slightly< haunted...
The whole place is decorated for Halloween!

Simple nice stay

Simple few nights stay after flying in off long haul flight to Heathrow. Food is quality and room had everything i needed decent bed and shower. Maybe i’d include a bath tub next time pay the extra. Place with character also rather than basic hotels.

Liked: Amenities
Lovely old building with a huge room. Decor was a little tired and areas behind roll top bath etc were not especially clean. Lots of scuffed paintwork and badly patched tiles etc. Bed was also a little short if you are tall. I was on my own so slept at an angle so was fine. Staff were friendly and helpful but there was an issue with their WiFi going down and payment not being available by card in the pub/restaurant etc. At about 9.00pm there was a huge fight that started in the pub I think and went outside. A knife was definitely involved and it was terrifying to hear. The hotel cannot help this but they didn’t come round to check on rooms or anything afterwards which would have been nice. Overall for the price it is a nice place and quirky choice near to Heathrow with free parking. Just lacking in a few details which would make it special.

The room was nice and check in was convenient but I do think it's a problem that there was no 24 hour reception for the price I was paying. There was no one around to take my key when I left... so I left it in the room and I have no idea what would have happened if I'd arrived (as I often do) after midnight. If these things aren't concerns for you though then this is a nice little hotel close to heathrow and the staff were friendly.

Close to Heathrow. Lots of parking. Great history, built in 1106. Remodeled, clean & a good value. Only issue is the room was next to the pub which was noisy until 11 pm with music and laughing.

I loved this place staff was very friendly. They had on site parking. It was very close to the airport. We had dinner which was some of the best food I had the whole time in the UK. They did also a great breakfast. Just loved it can’t say enough.

Truly gross

The hotel was in shockingly bad condition from the outside, and was filthy and wise on the inside. We had two rooms, one with extensive mold growing on the carpet. Truly disgusting accommodations, and I was berated by the family for booking this hotel. Strongly recommend you avoid.

Misleading information about care parking

We booked this hotel because they advertised free parking — unfortunately, that’s not the reality. The hotel's car park is managed by a third-party company that issues fines, and the hotel is supposed to register guest vehicles in their system. However, if the staff forget to do this, and a fine is issued, the hotel takes no responsibility and offers no help. Save yourself the hassle and extra cost — staying here could end up costing you double.
