Opposite the Lions Gate, funnily enough, (an entrance into the Palace grounds with 2 huge stone lions on the top). The famous maze is just inside too The Hotel of the same name is reasonably appointed, with friendly staff and good breakfast choice. I slept well, the water was hot, the towels were white and fluffy and there was fairtrade hot chocolate and biscuits on the tray. My room was at the back, and through the open window, I heard a strange mooing noise coming from the parklands behind. It turned out to be rutting stags! While I had my head stuck out of the window, flocks of green parakeets flew by. By this time, I started to think I shouldn't have had the prawn sandwich at lunchtime, but no, there are wild green parakeets all over that area! I will stay there again if I am ever in the area.

I gave them 5 stars because everything met or exceeded our expectations. The service was kind,…read morecourteous and prompt. The room was clean and absolutely perfect. The price was the deciding factor for us to try Bull and Bush. We had been visiting family in London for about a month and my husband and I were looking for a little get away and this place was absolutely perfect. We had a great time and got to spend our money on restaurants and gifts etc. it's a 5-10 minute walk to anywhere...downtown Kingston, busses, trains or the river and parks. Highly recommend!!

Whether or not Eckington Rooms will be there for you when you want them I cannot say. The hosts…read moreindicated they might be getting out of the business soon. I understand, but hope not. Booked through a travel agency who plans walking tours, my single night at Eckington Rooms was one of the nicest of the 6 nights they booked. As the only guests in the home - aside from the hosts - I was given the run of the entire third floor which meant that I could leave the door to my large room open and not worry about hearing anyone else or vice versa. The room was oversize, the home absolutely gorgeous, sparkling clean, and the decor cute and stylish. How do you top all that? Well, they didn't need to but being situated about 1 mile from East Molesey's charming downtown, the hosts offered to drive me there and come get me when I was finished eating and drinking. Is that not the definition of hospitality? The next morning, while eating a wonderful breakfast (included) in the dining room, the hosts again went out of their way to make phone calls on my behalf and arrange for me a round-trip cab ride with the fare pre-negotiated. In a place such as this I'd have liked to stay a few days, so comfortable was I feeling. Alas, the road called and I was off. Eckington Rooms is now just a wonderful memory of a comfy bed, a beautiful home, and the most helpful, gracious hosts I've ever encountered.
