Nice hotel with great English breakfast! The rooms are larger than average. There are wall to wall carpets in the room so if you suffer from allergies be aware, but fortunately no carpet in the bathroom. Large bathroom with hotrail. Nice green garden to enjoy drinks from the bar.

Hotel was very clean and quiet, staff were friendly and parking was no problem. Location is good for short walk through the park into Gerrard's Cross. Petrol station conveniently over the road if you need any snacks.

3rd time of staying. This time a Wake for my sister.8 April 2022. The Staff were excellent. So helpful, understanding, Lauren on Reception was especially wonderful and professional. Food was great. We were treated with compassion and nothing was too much trouble. The bar staff were really good, as was the man in charge of the suite at the end. He was very accommodating allowing us all the time we needed at the end of the evening, which he did not need to do. Simply wonderful! Breakfast, was as ever scrumptious. Thank you for making our stay memorable . Dawn Robinson
