This is a beautiful property of historic significance (the home of WS Gilbert of Gilbert and Sullivan) and I have stayed here many times during the past 25 years. For the price, it is perfect. Free parking, comfortable rooms, and a magnificent property. The Garden lodge could do with a little updating but it is full of British charm. It seems to be well run and I always love staying here.

Would go back here

Room was lovely and we decided to eat in the restaurant, rather than go out. A good choice. Food was very good and breakfast equally so. Staff very good and friendly. Some parts of the hotel starting to look a little tired but adds to the character. Overall an excellent experience and very happy with the decision to stay here

A beautiful property with so much potential. Unfortunately the rooms in the annex are no better than a one star motel. Slow drains, bad water pressure, doors that have 6 inch gaps at the bottom, lumpy beds and tired carpet and paint. The breakfast is great, so at least there is that.

A single overnight break

The hotel has interesting history and is picturesque as a building in nc grounds. We didn’t take meals, the main restaurant wasn’t open on our stay and breakfast was extra. A short walk gave access to local bus services to Harrow and Harrow on the hill. A local pub worked for our evening meal, busy so good atmosphere; we feared the hotel offer would have been dull due to low bookings.

Last minute booking

I had to find a hotel very last minute and this was it, excellent location, loads of parking, very comfy beds and very clean. The shower head was a bit of a let down, had to access my room via some metal spiral stairs which came to a fire exit hatch and you have to ninja on to the stairs because there was a “function ongoing” and the decor are not modern however in London it’s a absolute bargain for what you get, and I had a very good sleep on the top floor.

Ok, could be much better with small investment

Overall it was ok. Good bits. Very clean, freshly cooked breakfast, big towels, good sized rooms. Public areas very nice, including grounds. Staff all friendly and helpful. Needs improvement. Rooms are tired and need refurb. Beds need new mattresses. We had twin beds, mine was ok despite having an older, cheaper sprung bed, my wife's was not comfortable. Rooms in the annex need soft close doors and better soundproofing. Even just having decent mattresses would make a massive difference. If Premier Inn can, surely Best Western can? It could be amazing.

Nice room although a little dark. Lovely view over the grounds. Balcony's terrace surface was very bouncy (flat felt roof. Small table and chairs on the balcony were in very poor condition and need replacing. Could not sit on these in smart clothes. They were all like this along the balconies. Could do with a small privacy screen between all balconies.

3.5 -with more TLC much higher -it has potential

Great setting . Garden rooms that are refurbished are quite nice but let down by some dated furniture and in need of new better looking room doors . sounds petty but its not. Bad management allowing chips on walls when entering dining room. Property is defo not 4 star more 3.5 but with TLC could be a near 5 . Tables in Bar chipped. Some bar prices crazy --£7.50 for a small bowl of warm soup. !! Breakfast was excellent with a very good choice.The hotel is a real mixed bag and worth staying at but could be so much better with a higher standard of management

A beautiful hotel set in wonderful grounds. Our stay was spoilt buy the fact we had to get to & from our room via an external spiral staircase & through a fire exit door ! The step into the building was deep & there was no hand rail to assist. In my opinion using the fire exit as a normal entrance & exit is a health & safety issue. We had no prior notification that we would have to use this entrance due to a function in the main building ! The room was big & comfortable. The breakfast was ok. Unfortunately there seemed to be a lack of orange juice & the mushrooms on the full English were like leather & the black pudding dried out to a cardboard consistency.
The entrance into the building !
