Nice Hotel rooms and bar, food is nice but expensi

Lovely comfortable room and a nice bar / restaurant area. Food was very nice but quite expensive as were the drinks. Doesnt help that they add 12.5% service charge to every bill. That's an Americanism that's sadly snuck into this country. Service is part of the job and should be covered by staff wages paid by the pub. Tips should be optional and not automatically added.

We have stayed here before and it is ideally located for family visits. The staff were excellent and the room was above expectations. Anyone staying here will not be disappointed. One word of warning - if you want to eat dinner here make sure to book well ahead as it gets very busy (not surprisingly)

Lovely property and location, beautiful newly renovated rooms let down by a weird check in experience. They are primarily a pub / restaurant so I felt like an afterthought and had nowhere to park because of all the restaurant customers. I walked into the pub and it was unclear who I should talk to. There were some staff sitting behind a computer at a table in the restaurant but they just ignored me. It took the bartender coming out from behind the bar once I made eye contact with a confused expression to get my key. He was nice to be fair, but if they had a sign somewhere with check in instructions that would’ve been easier

Gorgeous rooms, very helpful staff and very accommodating when we were a little late coming in for breakfast. This is our second stay here and my only regret is not spending more time in the pub/hotel to enjoy the atmosphere.

Stop over in Windsor when dropping off at Heathrow

Although a couple of administrative issues were encountered, these were immediately and appropriately reacted to. Accommodation, food (breakfast and dinner), bar and service all excellent. Lovely traditional rural pub with rooms. Great location close to Windsor and Heathrow.
