The restaurant was newly renovated during our stay and the meal was fairly priced, extremely delicious, and the staff was attentive and friendly. There was also a newly attached bar with a large drink selection, friendly service, and fair prices. Any need we had was taken care of with a smile and promptly. Room service was daily with good service and there was a breakfast/lunch/dinner room service menu available to order if you wanted to relax. Really a gem hotel outside of London. The train station to London was about a mile and a half away so it was convenient. Would definitely stay here again!!! ##### Mitchell Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jason 19 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort I was pleasantly surprised with my stay.
