Unique Dining Experience

The Beefeater restaurant housed in a charming converted watermill provided an exceptional dining experience. The food quality was surprisingly good, making each meal memorable. I particularly enjoyed the full English breakfast; it was beautifully cooked and plentiful, setting a positive tone for the day ahead.

I had a lovely stay at the Premier Inn, enjoying the beautiful surroundings and peaceful atmosphere. The rooms were spacious and clean, but they could really benefit from a bit of a refresh. The dining experience left something to be desired, as the breakfast wasn't as hot as I expected and the staff were less than cheerful. Overall, I appreciated the convenience and comfort offered by the hotel, but the dining service could definitely improve.

We had a lovely stay, perfect for a quick family getaway. The rooms were clean and cozy, and the surroundings were beautiful with nearby walking paths. However, breakfast could be more substantial, as it felt a little lacking on variety. Overall, it's a great value for a night or two, especially with the close proximity to transport links for day trips.

The hotel is beautifully located with scenic surroundings and quirky charm, making it a delightful stay for families and fans of Harry Potter.

This hotel has a lovely, rural setting that's surprisingly peaceful given its proximity to the M25. The Beefeater restaurant next door offers good value meals, and the staff were genuinely attentive. However, some areas of the accommodation felt a bit tired, and the lack of air conditioning made for uncomfortable nights during our stay. The dining experience at breakfast was inconsistent, which could use some improvements.

The hotel was a mixed bag for me. While the location was ideal and clean, I encountered several issues that overshadowed my overall experience. The bed was comfortable, but the noise from the nearby road and the state of the dining service left a lot to be desired. I would consider it for a stopover, but be prepared for some shortcomings.
