Lovely and quiet location, the bar staff were really lovely and helpful. The sofa bed was very uncomfortable, only suitable for a small child. You could feel all the bars through a mattress which was only about an inch thick.

Good hotel for Epsom racecourse

Nice hotel, lovely location by Epsom races. Rooms well equiped with ironing board, iron, hairdryer (quite powerful), bedside reading lights, tv, blackout curtains but sadly no fridge. Beds very comfy and nice pillows. Bathroom well lit with good mirrors. Breakfast not the most expansive but has all the basics. Bit more limited if yr gluten free like me, i did advise them in advance and a very helpful lady knew about me and got me the allergy sheet and gf toast done out back in a special toaster. I had bacon n beans (i dont eat eggs) and an apple. Note that the forest fruits were NOT gluten free nor the sausages or hash browns. They did have gf cornflakes availble too.

We had a lovely stay! The staff were always friendly and accommodating, and I really appreciated their attention to detail—having a bath mat available was important for my toddler's safety. They also allowed us a late checkout, which was a big help. The breakfast buffet had plenty of great options, and I loved the coffee machine. Overall, a comfortable and thoughtful experience.

Great stay at Epsom

Great check in. Reception allowed me early access to my room which was much appreciated after a 5am start and attending a local wedding that didn’t start until 2-30. This gave me some much needed rest. Thank you very much
