Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were charming with lovely garden views, a comfortable double bed, and a desk. The vaulted ceiling with exposed beams added a touch of charm. The modern furniture complemented the beautiful old brickwork and beams perfectly. The service was exceptional, and I even got moved to a bigger room to ensure a good night's sleep. The location was ideal for exploring Great Missenden and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. The dining experience was fantastic, especially the delicious full English breakfast. The facilities were great, making my stay even more enjoyable.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, with charming exposed timbers creating a lovely ambiance. The service was top-notch, especially thanks to the friendly and attentive staff, including young Sophie who made my experience memorable. The location was ideal for exploring the scenic area around Great Missenden, though it is located on a busy road. The dining experience was delightful, offering a variety of satisfying options, including traditional local cakes. Overall, a great value for money stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel is super cute and cosy, perfectly suitable for short stays. The rooms are comfortable, but there were a few stains on the blanket. It can be a bit noisy from the road or the extractor fan in the kitchen due to the lack of double glazing in this old building.
