I booked this place because it was 20 mins from LHR and was close to Heston’s Bray if I fancied a culinary hit. I booked the room that was available on Expedia, a Barn room, but upon arrival was ‘upgraded’ to the main accommodation block. It’s worth remembering that the Barn is on the main car park, so worth consideration as to whether a booking suits your needs. Main block accommodation, for those who can’t nab, or afford the Wedgwood suite, is tight for space, my room measuring a cosy 12m3 while housing a desk, bed and shower room; even solo, I felt cramped. I didn’t eat at the onsite restaurant or drink at the Monkey Bar, but the building housing them looked pleasant and the island itself, even in a wintry setting, is a draw card. Parking is easy and the smooth trundle for wheelie bags is about 200m to your room; that was even an easy hike for my rucksack! Overall, lovely setting, small rooms and really fast to the airport…and probably enough character to keep you out of Heathrow’s Hotel Row.

Room in the barn was not great and therefore very overpriced. Large stains on carpet which need replacing. Overall not worth the money better hotels nearby I expect. We went for a drink in the bar late afternoon on a Sat. The staff were fantastic but as it was very quiet and no atmosphere we ended up going to a local pub instead which was great. Came back for dinner. Quality of the food was amazing however as they got the order wrong. I ended up eating after my husband had finished. Would not go back or recommend

Fabulous!!!! Beautiful setting, very picturesque. We went for a temple room, it was on the ground floor with views of the garden. Extremely comfortable bed, spotlessly clean. Staff were really delightful and helpful. Our only gripe is the breakfast…. £40 plus 12.5 service charge is extortionate
