Reception were fast and efficient. They gave me a room overlooking the car park at the back which was very quiet overnight. The building is not easy to see from the roadside. Look for the White Heart pub (Vintage Inn) and there is a driveway to the left of it (when facing the pub) that provides access to the hotel car park. Would stay here again if I needed to be in the area.

Many superlatives could make this seem over the top or uninformed as a review. However in this case…read morethey are justified as the idealized English country break. Basically Cliveden House is a historically significant country estate which has been carefully managed and grown with the additional of an extensive spa facility and additional restaurant in the former stables. Arriving from London is either a relatively quick 20-30min taxi ride from Heathrow airport, or else a short train journey leaving London from Paddington station, changing at Slough for Taplow and then a short cab ride. We took the latter and timed leaving one hotel in Central London and the elapsed time to unpacking the suitcase in Cliveden was a little under 2 hours. The rooms have furnishings which are in keeping with the property and a lavish bathroom including in our case a fireplace - non functioning sadly but very good. For North American visitors remember this is a functioning old home - not a gutted, modern refurbished 5-star hotel. This means some things can be quirky, but if you are thinking about coming the charm factor will overwhelm you. Sitting in the residents lounge is an ideal way to relax and watch the world go by, or indulge in a pre-dinner drink. The main (fine) dining room serves breakfast and dinner with lunch and a more casual dinner menu served at the grill. The spa kitchen is a third option to have a lighter menu either as a respite from health treatment or as an alternative. The spa facility is very modern and the treatments well executed. An indoor swimming pool looked inviting. Add to that walks around the grounds which are adjacent to the Thames River. We arrived on a Sunday and it was busy in the grounds which, as a national trust property allow public access. The house generally speaking however is off limits to non residents and so whilst Sunday was busy, the working week was quite serene - if you have the calendar time I would recommend a week day visit.

I take Sunday lunch very seriously when we're in the UK. If a pub says it serves "Traditional…read moreSunday Lunch," I expect it to be served by a balding landlord, huffing up the stairs from the too-small kitchen while arguing loudly with his once-attractive but now tragically large-busted and over-made-up wife (called Barbara), while muttering insults under his wheezing breath. Too specific, y'think? Probably, but that's my expectation and, damn it, I'm the customer! Which brings us to The Ivy House, a great pub stuck on a hillocks to the side of the Amersham Road. We visited with a quite-large party, in the latter hours of what is generally considered lunchtime. It was to be our last big meal before flying home, and I had taste buds that needed to be sated for about another year. The place delivered mightily. Pleasingly for our diverse crew, it had a great selection of meals for traditionalists, kids, and vegetarians. Service was swift and friendly absent the balding landlord and trollopy wife in my imagination but full of an efficient waiter who couldn't have been more helpful. The roast beef was good but, as the last of the day, it was a little dry and gristly. The rhubarb and ginger crumble with custard was lovely, though perhaps a tad too sweet for some. All five of the kids with us thoroughly enjoyed their meals, too, so the whole party was completely happy. The ale I had was the icing on the cake (not literally), though it's name now escapes me. The Ivy House is an excellent spot for a great Sunday lunch. They had signs in the pub, asking for patrons to support an effort to stop a new train track being laid across the fields right in front of the pub. I surely hope they succeed in this effort. The pub's in a very serene spot. If we're ever in the area again, we'll be back.

Adorable little boutique hotel diagonal from Windsor castle on High Street. My main complaint is…read morethere is no gym in the hotel. There is a gym that guests can use for a small fee that is 3 minutes away but it doesn't open until 8 or 9am depending on the day. That is too late for me since I was going to work early every day. The rooms are tiny with a double bed. I had a view of the rooftop next door. The mattress was pretty firm and the bed had 4 pillows one of which was a feather. The bathroom had a nice shower with one of those rain shower heads and the water got really hot. The shower door was one of those half doors that doesn't close. That seems a bit weird but it worked. The bathroom has a towel warmer but mine was not working which was unfortunate. It also got a bit stuffy in my room at night luckily the window was able to open a little bit, enough for fresh air! There are coffee pods, and tea in the room. I love that they give you the Walkers biscuits in your room. They are so good and there were many flavors that they replenished every day. Also they gave you water in your mini fridge. My co worker was not happy that there was no lotion or conditioner in the bathroom. She asked for lotion at the front desk but then had to buy some conditioner. I always bring mine so it wasn't a big deal for me. My reservation came with a buffet breakfast in the restaurant. It was your traditional English breakfast The coffee was horrible. 2/10 on the coffee scale. The location is fabulous and very walkable. Kitty corner to the Windsor castle and shopping is steps away.

We didn't really have a place in mind, but my sister-in-law mentioned that Four Weddings and a Funeral had been filmed here, and that it was pretty good, so we said "Why not?!" I don't know what we were expecting, but it was fairly empty at 2:00 on a weekday afternoon. That felt like a nice treat after having been surrounded by people in London. The server was really kind and patient, and the menu was so well-crafted! I honestly did not expect to have this meal be one of my favorites, but it totally was! I ordered the chicken supreme, and whatever "white wine cream sauce" topped that dish was to die for. And the potatoes...seriously SO good. The kids got sandwiches they really enjoyed, and my husband loved the sausage and mash. Would repeat this again in a heartbeat!

The purpose of our visit was to host a business presentation. Before that, we had a high tea which…read morestarted to arrive slowly but it was worth waiting for. An ambundance of sandwiches and other bites was well presented on the trays. At another occasion, we had a choice from the menu that I found a bit reduced considering it being a hotel - but the basics were well-spread from a dressed hamburger to a tasty curry (it could be real Indian) and of course pastas and salads. But if you're spending a holiday you will esperience the need to have your dinners somewhere else and that may involve a drive to the next town (at least). The presentation room was available and neat, easy to access and to prepare so we could start in time. After the meeting, we gathered for drinks, in a good atmosphere but when people from the group left the seats were quickly rearranged giving to other members of the company the impression they needed to leave as well. Conclusion - a well presented, efficient accommodation for whatever you like to do. It could use a bit of personality and eagerness to make the clients stay longer (which creates more consumptions!).

Ah The Bull…read more Probably the most confusing layout of a hotel I've ever stayed in. Granted, England is a very old country and so the hotels are not the modern monoliths I am accustomed to. My co workers and I were booked here as it is one of the nicer accommodations near Pinewood Studios. This hotel struck me as a very business oriented hotel, not a place where one would go for a holiday (holiday is vacation in American English). The hotel features several large ballrooms used for conferences and they also have a beautiful garden in which they host weddings. The hotel is shaped like a square 'U' with the main areas being the bottom of the U and the rooms being the two uprights. To get to our rooms we had to walk through the Jack Shrimpton bar and snake our way past several doors and through 4 different corridors. The car park surrounds the hotel and there are more convenient entrances from those areas but our driver always dropped us of at the front of the hotel. The room I was in was big enough for two. The bathroom featured a very high bath with a fixed shower head, the standard heated towel rack. The bed was plenty firm and the little safe was just large enough for my American money and knick knacks I didn't want to lug around in my purse. Something that struck me right away was the lack of a clock. None to be had in the room. Time would be shown on the TV screen if you pushed the button but then it would disappear after 45 seconds or so. So bring an alarm clock, use your phone or schedule a wake up call if you need one. The mini bar/mini fridge in my room had also been taken out. Strange and kind of a deal breaker for me. I like keeping my own water and snacks in my own fridge, I eat a lot, what can I say. The blackout curtains worked really well for me. The bay windows made for an odd shape but the curtains were hardy enough that you could tuck them into one another to prevent the sun from leaking in at 5 in the morning (Oh English summers). It was funny how the two different bars at the hotel served different drinks. The Jack Shrimpton featured more ales on tap but had set hours. The other unnamed bar was pretty much 24 hours but had a limited selection of beers. So if you wanted a different beer you'd have to walk a bit back to the JS bar. Not a big deal. Because there weren't a lot of eateries within walking distance most of our stay there we ate at the bar or the Beeches Restaurant. The bar food was actually pretty good and the triple cooked chips (fries) were very nice. Alas, it is bar food so it was a lot of grease that my body was not that OK with. Overall the hotel is very nice but due to the old construction the hotel itself is very loud. I could hear everyone walking outside and all of the heavy doors slamming as businessmen left early in the morning. It was a little unnerving and since I was only there for a week, I never really got used to it. On one of the last nights we were there the Bull was hosting a wedding reception. They left a note in the room saying to expect some noise and that the complimentary breakfast bar in morning would be busy at certain times, which they indicated with a red, yellow and green time frames. The party wasn't too crazy, I could hear the music until 1:30 AM but it was a Friday, so not a huge deal. I wouldn't go calling this a 5 star hotel and I really just took a star off a four for the noise of the door and people walking around. If you're a fitness nut, the area surrounding offers some beautiful countryside to jog in and is relatively safe, even in the early morning. Overall, not a bad place to stay in Gerards Cross.

Less than an hour away from the City, you arrive at a beautiful estate, surrounded by lovely trees and golf course. You may recognize the estate from a couple of James Bond films.

If you are not a golfer, they have a spa that is perfect for some solo time, or for a day with girlfriends. There is a lounge/waiting area where you can order all sorts of snacks. Speaking of snacks, Stoke Park does the nicest tea service I have ever encountered. I could devour all three tiers of sandwiches and sweets all by myself, but only because I am little piggy.

On our trip from Arizona to…read moreItaly was had two very lengthy layovers in London that sadly weren't long enough to get out and explore, so we did the next best thing and booked a room (each time) at this hotel and got a workout, shower, and rest in before our next flight. The rooms are great; very spacious, comfortable, and clean. The gym is awesome and offers multiple spin bikes, treadmills, a rowing machine, and free weights which enabled both my husband and I to get a good workout in. They also have a restaurant that we did not have a chance to dine in but it looked popular to even those outside the hotel. This hotel is definitely one to stay at for a long layover or if you want to be close to your next flight. It's comfortable, quiet, friendly, and easy to get to in the airport. I hope we don't have long layovers again, but if we do we will be staying here!

Came back from Bath and was flying out the next morning from Terminal 2 and saw the reviews for…read morethis place. Super convenient as it's in Terminal 2. Easy to find as the signs in the Queen's terminal are large and everywhere (good job sign posting, unlike terminal 5). The rooms are a bit dated and not laid out intuitively. The safe is in the night stand and when open it bumps against the bed. The faucet in the bathroom sink has little clearance from the basin and thus water gets everywhere when washing your hand/face. The shower head sprays water and with a glass wall (vs shower curtain) gets outside the tub and the tile gets wet. These little design wonkiness is what makes it a 4 (vs 5). This place is popular with large groups. The restaurant is solid - fantastic greek salad and the grilled salmon perfect. The runway rooftop bar is also a must do (you can get non alcoholic drinks). So mesmerizing and relaxing to watch the planes. A solid place for a quick fly in/out of LHR
