Very convenient for my purposes e.g. visiting family in Twyford. It doesn't pretend to be something it isn't and this is reflected in the prices. That said it has everything you'll need, it all works and the food and drinks pub prices and quality.

A very cheerful and helpful welcome which is always appreciated. The Hotel was conveniently beside the A4 and easy to find. The room and bathroom were immaculately clean and comfortable with all the expected amenities. Dining in the Hungry Horse was OK but not exceptional. The availability of a Snacks/Drinks Vending Machine was also a bonus. Would highly recommend.

There are no frills at the Wee Waif, however this is the 2nd time I've used it as a journey breaker heading west. The bar food, Sports TV and free WiFi give me all I need for a one-night stopover. Will definitely use again.

Previous experience with Green King properties has been negative, so I was initially impressed when checking in. All reception staff were extremely polite and helpful. The room was fairly spacious with a sofa on one side. The room was quite clean, as was the bathroom. The bed was very comfortable, and there was a large TV. The shower has good pressure and maintained a fairly constant temperature. The main negative was the extremely hot temperature; there was only a small fan to help with this. The window barely opened, which exacerbated the problem. The restaurant, however, was awful. Firstly, the table was sticky which makes you doubt the general hygiene within the establishment. Then, you're forced to download yet another app to order food, or join a long and not moving queue at the bar. There was no cutlery in the self serve tray, so they had to be requested from staff, these were dirty when brought to the table. The quality of the food was below average; chips stick together, too much use of the microwave, etc.

Food was disappointing. Continental breakfast looked very sad. Poor selection of very small muffins. Hot water for tea was only warm. Lunch baguette was inedible - the baguette was as tough as leather. Room was clean and presentable. However, the carpet was threadbare at the entrance to the bathroom. The surface around the sink was damaged. The reception desk was rarely manned.

The property is located not too far from Heathrow which makes it handy to get clear of the heavy traffic. The reception was genuinely pleasant, courteous and professional. For the fees paid to stay it’s extremely reasonable, the carpet in our room needs attention but other than that very good value.
