Nice pleasant spa hotel
Very nice hotel - spa hotel but only has sauna and small jacuzzi pool outdoors plus treatments. We had dinner the first night - my food was extremely salty and dish wasn't as menu advertised and very small portions. We booked 2 nights then decided to stay for a 3rd - today we wanted to have lunch sitting outside today - only a sandwich but were told the kitchen couldn't do any food as they had a large party in ! I did comment what about your paying guests staying in the hotel - they need to be looked after - after a short wait they offered us a choice of 3 things ! All in all staff are a credit to your hotel - nice pleasant hotel would return. We also booked one night dinner at Cliveden House Hotel which is just down the road.

A lovely stay in this period property, there is ample parking and the food standards are high. The bar serves a nice coffee amongst other beverages and the restaurant staff are very attentive. Positives about the hotel are the quiet location, the decor and modern yet timeless appearance of the rooms, seating areas and outside space, the spa and pool (which we didn’t have time to use) and the helpful staff on site. Also the food quality and choice. We booked an executive room which is worth paying extra for. Sadly during our stay the hot water at the hotel had broken however the staff had already made us aware in writing and part refunded the stay without us even asking a question about anything of the sort. We would stay again, we are very particular when choosing rooms, it’s a lovely hotel.

Customer service was excellent. FOH staff were very attentive and responsive. Food was good - we only had room service. Spa was nice but very small with only an outdoor hot tub and sauna. Rooms are a little dated but clean and comfortable enough.

Peaceful and relaxing
Set in beautiful grounds on the edge of the quintessentially English village of Taplow. Staff were friendly and attentive - nothing was too much trouble. Our room was clean, comfortable and well appointed. We enjoyed an evening meal which was good value for money. Spa treatments hit the spot!

The property has great character as you may expect from such a historic, Georgian building. The evening meal was very good, as was the breakfast, with both being served in lovely bay windowed restaurant. Service was excellent for both meals and staff were all very pleasant and helpful. However, we stayed in the Orkney junior suite, which was very spacious but sadly in need of quite a lot of tlc. Such a shame given the stature of the property.

We were there for a family wedding.The hotel and surroundings were stunning. But was let down by small things like the dated condition of room eg mirror was half painted or stained. Our cups in the room had chips on them and sink taps were leaking. But would return because like stated service and surroundings were stunning .

BEAUTIFUL HOTEL LOVELY ROOMS
We stayed here for 1 night for a wedding we had to attend, overall the hotel is done to very high standards. the staff was very nice and very welcoming. We had a little issue with our room and without any aggravation, we were moved to a new and upgraded room. The head concierge Gerry was so nice and Milton was also very nice. any issues were dealt with swiftly and solutions were provided which was very nice. The hotel is having some renovations done but that won't affect your stay here. I would definalty goback again

It was a construction site. There was no gym. There was no spa. There was dirt on the carpet. There was no fridge in the room. The furniture and curtains were dated. There was no apology or allowance given by the hotel for the state of things. It's a simple case of managing customer expectations and accurate representation on hotel site and expedia site of the true state of things. I also couldn't get a refund so was stuck in hotel for 3 nights. I will never return and would certainly not recommend.

Family visit
The staff we met in the hotel were absolutely fantastic, from the lady who booked us in on reception to the restaurant staff who went above and beyond to ensure that the awkward vegetarian with a mushroom allergy had a meal, the chef cooked a special dish for me, to the maintenence and cleaning staff nothing was.too much trouble for them. The hotel is undergoing refurbishment and had only just reopened, we were aware of this when we booked, and so we were prepared for some disruption and it was actually less than we expected, and the end result will enhance rhe hotel even more. We will certainly visit the hotel again when we are in the area

Overnight stay to break a long journey
We chose the hotel because our daughter lives nearby, and it looked interesting. The hotel was an old country house, and has plenty of character and style. We had a comfy room and bed, but no heating in the room, and a faulty light (which was quickly fixed). The view was of builders' skips and a huge container. There were lots of empty rooms when we stayed so it was strange we were not offered a room with a better view !!! The bar was cosy and the food was excellent. The grounds are lovely. We will return, but will ask for a better view!

Enjoyed the stay at Taplow House. Probably better suited to leisure travel than business. Grounds lovely, but I arrived and departed in the dark so didn't get to see them fully.
