Excellent hotel, we went with our daughter for her 6th birthday. It was a perfect family friendly stay. There’s a map and fox hunt from reception for them, the pool is available all day & sweets at breakfast, a 6 year olds dream! Location is fab too, 10 mins from a tube, so a more relaxed atmosphere but still walking distance to plenty of food & tourist spots. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic breakfast, plenty of selection.
Room clean and tidy, though the bathroom drains did smell a little. Bed extremely comfortable too.
Ate from the evening meal menu a couple of times and the food was excellent.
