Gerrard's Cross (Buckinghamshire) is kinda like The Woodlands to us Houstonians but much more affluent. A bit out of London, in the beautiful countryside. We needed a place to stay for one night & opted for this place after my brother-in-law checked it out for us. The place was recently remodeled & I will say even though this place is a Crowne Plaza the staff, décor & service seemed more of a higher rated hotel. Check-in was quick & even though the staff member was a bit long winded (but in a very pleasant & helpful way) we were up in our room in a few minutes. Our room was an executive king room on the top floor. Very big, very new, very pretty! Since we had this room, we were told the food & drinks in the mini-bar were free. So was the breakfast & cocktail hour in the executive lounge. We did use the lounge while there for drinks (nice assortment) & breakfast. The breakfast was wonderful. Plenty to choose from hot or cold dishes, plenty of juices, yogurt, fruit, etc.
Hands down the best bed I slept on during my visit. The linens were lush & the pillows were "just right". Even the complimentary robes, slippers & bath products were well above average.
Keeping this place on my list to stay the next time we are in Buckinghamshire. read more
