  Alojamiento atípico

  Este alojamiento se encuentra situado en el pueblo de Colnbrook a 10 minutos en coche de la terminal 5 de Heathrow y a otros tantos del castillo de Windsor. El edificio original data de 1106 y se trata de un edificio de madera que mantiene su estructura original con una reforma reciente en las habitaciones. La recepción es el bar de la planta baja y sólo abre de 7.00 a 23.00 (7.30 a 22.30 fines de semana) , fuera de ese horario hay un telefono al que llamar para alguna urgencia. El edificio sólo tiene 1 planta pero no hay ascensor (en el año 1106 tampoco) . El aparcamiento es gratuito. Las habitaciones están renovadas hace poco tiempo y están bien equipadas: calefacción, armario, hervidor de agua con té y café, televisión plana, conectores de corriente por todos lados y un baño impecable. Sólo hay una pega importante en la habitación 11 la cuál tiene el extractor de la cocina pegado a la habitación, hace un ruido insoportable y está conectado continuamente (fuera del horario de cocina se conecta y desconecta cada 5 minutos). Nosotros pedimos el cambio y no hubo problemas pero hubiera sido imposible estar más de una noche en aquella habitación. El desayuno se da en el salón del restaurante/bar y es de una gran calidad. Hay varias opciones: desayuno inglés, tortitas, huevos benedict, huevos florentine, etc y merece la pena ir sólo a probarlo. Haciendo un resumen puedo decir que este alojamiento es adecuado si se va en coche o se quiere hacer estancia en un cambio de vuelos (siempre que se haga check-in dentro del horario de recepción). No es recomendable para hacer turismo por Londres ya que el tiempo que se tarda en ir o volver supera la hora en todos los casos y realizando varios trasbordos.

  Parking might not be free !

  Food and beer was great, comfy bedroom and convenient for Heathrow. But despite giving our car registration details at check-in we were later fined by a private car park management company for having illegally parked overnight at the Inn. In these situations car rental companies pay the fine on your behalf, charge your credit card and you then have a heck of a time getting your money back. We stayed there in October 2019 and finally got our refund this week (may 2020). It was an honest mistake and it would not have prevented us from sta ying there again if not for the fact that their assistance in obtaining our refund could best be described as tepid, and there was never a word of apology/regret. So we will not stay there again.

  Character and convenience

  Comfortable room with en-suite. Importantly friendly service. Pub and dining excellent. Hotel has a lot of history and givs a great start to a UK vacation. Handy to Heathrow, and the major routes. Only stayed one night/ I will stay again on next visit to the UK.

  4 hours in the car park

  The positives. Bar very nice, room very nice, lovely old Inn and dinner was great. However only 2nd day of opening and bar shut at 10pm (before blanket 10pm restrictions) when place has been shut for 6 months and locals were turning up just after who hadn't been there for months to find it shut. Will they return? But and this is partly my fault as I was warned that the side door shuts behind you if you pop out for a ciggy. But I forgot despite staying before when it was the same and with the main door locked spent 4 hours stuck in the chilly car park before some builders let me in for two hours sleep. It seems there are no night staff so why on earth isn't the guest provided with a key for the side entrance. And yet the door to rooms 1,2 and 3 you could get in which was no good to me. No morning staff either, no checkout just left key in room and went. Very difficult times but other places I stayed that haven't been shut so long seem to make the effort.

  Good stop for the price

  Great little pub in a little village, steeped in history some say haunted but we didnt experience anything paranormal. Ate in the restaurant in the evening and the level of food served was fantastic and the cosy atmosphere in the bar was great. Room was maybe a little dated but given the age of the property fully understood. Overall no complaints good price for the room and would recommend.
