A lovely weekend at this hotel.
Pros:

Clean and comfortable. Good facilities and great breakfast.

Cons:

Rooms needs a magnified mirror by the desk area for make up application and hair styling. A toilet brush would be good too. A little bit out of the town.

Weekend Break
Pros:

Stayed here for 2 nights, the hotel has lots of parking and you must register vehicle on arrival.
Great facilities and the staff were very friendly and professional from checking to resteraunt.
Problems were resolved quickly.
The only thing I would mention about this and other hotels in this group is the use of very thin small toilet paper which if the strategy is to save money I think it cheapens the overall excellent offering
The location is about 30 min Walk to Marlow and the hotel is a little isolated with its location.
The other issue I had was that I assume the TV volume is restricted at night as the volume on the remote would only go to 20 percent at night but higher in the day and I found this frustrating as the volume was not loud enough for me.
The resteraunt is really good with a set menu of many dishes of European and Asian and you can mix choices,
The food was very good as was the service so much that we eat there both nights rather than attempting to go into Marlow where we concluded none if them would have been better than Glaze restaurant
Overall a very good hotel and great food and service

No As It Used To Be
Pros:

How things have changed. Now £5 for a decaff coffee, with a wooden stick, instead of a proper teaspoon
