Well worth its popularity!

Nice property! Not an abundance of seating in the bar area, but an excellent restaurant and friendly staff. Room was clean and well appointed. I like a hard bed, but it might have been a bit too much even for me. A really great stay overall!

Disappointing

I had to wait ages to check-in as the only member of staff was being engaged in conversation with couple also checking-in. It would have been nice to have been acknowledged. The room was so small that there was insufficient room for a bedside table. It was cramped and nowhere to work. The bed had a large and unnecessary bolster pillow but I couldn't move it as there was nowhere to put it. The bathroom was adequate but no very clean. Possibly the biggest irritation was a lack of a USB point which I would take for granted in any hotel. Fortunately, the battery on my phone lasted just long enough to recharge in the car. Some of the room decor was very tired. Plaster missing in the ceiling and a large hole between the window frame and the wall. The road outside is extremely noisy. Only on-street parking. Breakfast was very good although a little slow. Nice creamy well cooked and well seasoned scrambled eggs. This is the second time I've stayed at a hotel within the group: it will be the last.

The rooms were very comfortable and clean, this hotel is a great option convenient to Marlow and Bray, friendly welcome and price. The staff were very friendly and we had everything we needed for our stay, complimentary water, tea, coffee and biscuits and tipple were a nice touch. There is no carpark but we used the carpark close by which was fine. Entrance to the hotel is through the main pub which was a little chaotic as New Year’s Eve but that was to be expected and everyone was very welcoming. Would stay again, I imagine the garden would be nice in the summer too.

Never again.

The hotel and facilities were excellent but my room faced onto large air conditioning fans which rendered undisturbed sleep impossible. Won’t stay here again.

Lovely room and staff really friendly. Other guests were noisy so need to invest in a bit of soundproofing of doors
