Our business travel was made much more pleasant by elegant, impeccably maintained surroundings, and professional friendly staff (especially Stephen, Amanda and Amber). This is a venue with interesting history and a stroll through the extraordinary manicured grounds cleared the head after a long day of meetings. Stunning wedding venue. The rooms are comfortable, nicely decorated and well appointed. Moulton Brown... More

This hotel is truly a hidden gem, quirky, elegant and incredible service. With so many of the large chain hotels in the UK, they are lifeless and devoid of any service, so it was a pleasure to find this great hotel. I stayed in the Tower which eas right at the top of the hotel (crazy winding staircase) and overlooked... More

Stayed 2 nights and everything wonderful, staff very attentive, nothing too much trouble. Wonderful food both for dinner and breakfast. Like staying in an historic National Trust house. Peaceful location in the countryside near Egham, Surrey. Lovely gardens to wander around, almost like a movie set.

Having visited here a few years ago for dinner, we always wanted to return to stay. As soon as we heard that The Estate Grill was to open, this was our opportunity to come back and try this out and combine it with a stay.

Decent welcome, and some attention to our special needs. My husband had recently broken his hip and our requirements differed from normal.

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Probably built as a Royal Hunting lodge and very much a stately home since the 16th century, Great Fosters is now a prestigious hotel. Set amongst 50 acres of gardens and parkland, the hotel is a Grade One listed building blessed with the grandeur of 16th century England and luxurious modern facilities. Its past is evident in the mullioned windows, tall chimneys, fireplaces and brick finials, while the Saxon moat, crossed by a Japanese bridge, surrounds three sides of the formal garden. All the suites and bedrooms are individually decorated. The bedrooms in the Main House are adorned with tapestries and antiques, whilst the bedrooms in The Cloisters are more contemporary in style. The Coach House, refurbished in 2008, offers luxurious accommodation with the latest plasma screens, i-pod docking stations and fabulous bathrooms. The hotel offers a choice of two restaurants, The Estate Grill and The Tudor Room at Great Fosters. The Estate Grill is less formal and serves a simple and seasonal menu with many of the dishes cooked on a Josper grill. The Tudor Room at Great Fosters is an intimate, more sophisticated dining experience with just 24 covers set in a lavishly decorated dining room. ... more   less
