The Bakery Restaurant with Rooms

I'm not quite sure where to start!! We had 4 nights here, what an odd experience! We arrived hungry, only to be told that the restaurant was closed and there was no bar menu either because the new chef hadn't got a menu organised yet. Luckily the pub across the road had delicious food. Our room was fine except for there being no window, just French doors out onto the fire escape. This made the room very stuffy. We couldn't have the doors open, firstly because anyone could have got into the room, and secondly because the guttering had come loose and rain had soaked the wooden doorframe which swelled up and it was stuck shut! So it was a stuffy night. It rained again and we woke up to a very soggy carpet where it had come under the door. The proprietor promptly gave us a new room downstairs which was really nice and even had a little patio with table and chairs. However we found out that someone else had been given our old room without the problem being fixed! The breakfast was delicious but there was no menu, and no selection of anything out to choose from. All we were offered was a full English. The breakfast lady bimbled about in her own time and at one point, seconds after I asked for some apple juice, she wandered in with her arms folded and stood watching out the front door!! She was very apologetic when I reminded her though!! The proprietor was a genuinely lovely guy but very scatty and always having some kind of dilemma! On our last evening the food was finally available and a fair few people were in. We chose a burger from the bar menu which was overcooked and sadly very mediocre. While we were in the bar, my husband had to keep getting up to let people in because the door kept clicking shut and the proprietor was nowhere to be seen and even admitted that he'd forgotten these people had booked!! The only corkscrew had got lost so people had to wait until it was found before they could have their wine. Overall I'd say this is a perfectly acceptable place to stay if you're just after one night, but any longer than that be prepared for a very surreal experience!!

We had 4 rooms at the bakery for a family wedding nearby. Selection of family and double rooms. Each was very comfortable and suited our needs perfectly. Breakfast was great. Everyone was was very pleasant and made us feel most welcome. Thank you.

Fantastic privately owned hotel located in an idyllic village in the Surrey countryside, but conveniently close to the M25 for access. The hotel sits on the village green and has a super terrace to the road frontage. Internally there's a small but very well stocked bar and a good sized restaurant. The bedrooms (9) are very well appointed and mine (9) had a huge bed and private terrace. We were a party of 11 visiting for a wedding at the nearby Botley Barn. As such we ate, drank and slept and it's as good a place to stay as any and better than most. Great staff and an excellent all round vibe. Have no hesitation in staying here....
