Pros:

The breakfast, which was included in our rate, was first class. Plenty of choice and well presented. The hotel w had a car park which we used. The hotel was a 7 minute walk from the train/underground station. It was less than a mile from Richmond Park and Kew Gardens respectively.

Cons:

The room was a little on the small side but this was made clear when booking. It was perfectly adequate for our needs. It was extremely clean, as was the bathroom which contained an over-bath shower.
