I booked this hotel through secret escapes and got a fantastic deal. On arrival our room had complementary wine and chocolates. We were upgraded to room 37 which was lovely and very large. The staff went over and beyond for us and arranged a Resturant for us.. The hotel is in a great location close to the station and the... More

I stayed with my 3 sisters (2 twin rooms, 413 and 416) for a long weekend. We booked well in advance - 6 months - and were able to get a slightly cheaper rate. The hotel is centrally situated and close to the railway station. We were in the annexe over the road up quite a lot of stairs, so... More

Our twin room was incorrectly made up as a double but this was rectified really quickly. The bar area had plenty of atmosphere it the evening and the food at... More

We stayed at the hotel for two nights whilst my husband was working in the area. The location of the hotel was very good but we were very disappointed with our room- number 81- it was detached from the main hotel and located in the area next to the spa- no view and the window was frosted and needed to...

On arrival at the hotel we checked in and was shown to a room in the annex to the hotel. Although the very clean and tidy with a roll top bath in the on-suite, the view from the bedroom was disappointing as the window was frosted.

Enjoyed an evening here with work colleagues. It is the sister hotel of The Bull in Gerrads Cross. Ideal to the shops and walking distance to the train station. However the car park is extremely small and accomodates 14 cars at a push. You have to leave your keys with reception and they move the vehicles around as and when... More

I'm not surprised to hear stories of terrible service and lost bookings as the same thing happened to us - and the staff were far from apologetic about it. We had booked six weeks in advance for a birthday, but we were told there was no record of our booking when we arrived. They then tried to make out it... More
