Sarah United Kingdom

Our welcome was friendly and the place drips history with so much character. The room was very comfortable although a little small,but this was part of the 'olde worlde' charm of the place. We met friends for dinner in the restaurant on the evening of our stay and the food was excellent!

Aimee United Kingdom

All staff were friendly, courteous and helpful. Breakfast was out of this world, great choice, delicious and cooked to perfection. Room was clean and a good nights sleep had.

Jon United Kingdom

Our room was beautiful and cosy. It had many original features of a 600yr old hotel. Such as sliding leaded window. Old door and sloping floor. The bathroom was lovely too and a huge shower with a powerful rain attachment. Big fluffy towels. Shampoo & conditioner provided. The bed was very comfortable with real feather & down pillows & quilt. There was also a shelf full of books to read. A nice painting of flowers on the wall. Nice touches like a free tot of sloe gin in the hallway. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The breakfast was well cooked and delicious. A late check out was much appreciated. 12 noon.

Phillip United Kingdom

The general shared spaces were so well decorated and cosy. The rooms were gorgeous and the beds seriously comfy.

Bex United Kingdom

The location within the lovely village of Cookham was excellent. First class, if quirky bedroom with very comfortable bed. Breakfast was very good with good choice. Overall a great experience in an historic hotel which has retained many original features.
