One hour drive from Heathrow - good place to stay
Brief overnight stay only,having stayed here nearly a year before on our travels,suited our purposes.to return.
Room nbr1 was clean and tidy,good facilities,is obviously a popular place on both stays-January and December -as dining and bar areas full.
Room was on front next to main road,earplugs provided if needed due to traffic,previous stay was quieter in carpark area accommodation
Easy access from M4

Still great but.......
Great hotel with lovely people.
Seems they are starting to cut costs. No complimentary sparkling water in the room like there used to be, toiletries can no longer be taken home and food portion sizes have gone down in size but pricing has gone up.
