My room (3) was on the ground floor of the pub, facing the main road, so there was quite a bit of noise from traffic, in addition to aircraft landing and taking off from Heathrow. (But late at night it eased off and was quiter.)

The room was a really good size, plenty of space. Great bathroom and shower. Ground floor room, so easy to access. The breakfast was really nice. The staff were friendly. The free car park was very helpful.

There was a musty, mildew smell to the part of the building our room was in. Though the bed was comfortable? The pillows were lumpy. There is no counter space in the bathroom, no place for towels. There is no place to set things in the room. Could use a cabinet in bathroom with extra counter space.

The service was wonderful. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. The food was amazing. I highly recommend the Osteich drink! Our room was very clean.

It was a bit tough figuring out that we needed to enter the pub in order to check in. Perhaps a cute sign out front to guide guests to go through the pub to check in.

The staff was so warm and welcoming. The food at the pub is excellent!

My room was lovely and suited me perfectly. Although I’m glad it was quite grey & miserable weather, for had people been smoking & drinking outside, I’m guessing it could be quite noisy.

I used to live nearby so when I needed somewhere to stay over it was my first choice.

Staff could have been friendlier and rooms could have been a bit warmer

The bed wasn't very comfy.

Absolutely great experience, loved the athmosphere!!

Nothing really, met all our expectations.

Stop over before an early morning flight from Heathrow, but it exceeded my expectations regarding cleanliness and comfort. Food in the evening, although a little expensive (realise it is on the outskirts of London) was excellent.

The lighting in the room was a little wonky.

We stayed at The Ostrich on the last night of our two-week trip to England and it was the best food we had, both lunch and dinner. We saw breakfast served in the morning and were sorry to have to miss it. Absolutely charming. I hope to go again... I mean, it's been there since 1109.

It was rather busy and the staff seemed preoccupied. Food took a while to arrive. But we were treated well.

Location very convenient for Heathrow and more pleasant environment than a standard hotel. Interesting historic building. Excellent and convenient parking. Very comfortable room and good food. The Ostrich Strawberry gin is highly recommended.

Great historical place

Quite a few light bulbs in the room were missing. This seems to be a common problem as it was the case in two previous stays at the hotel..

Clean rooms, good breakfast.

Nothing

Property dates back to 1106 and while I can not verify the age of the features, some of the corridors had definet oldy worldy atmosphere.

The rooms were lovely and the bar and restaurant very comfortable

It's about an hour away from London's top sites, but so is London Heathrow Airport, so it is what it is. You can easily take the 703 bus and the tube (underground train, Picadilly line going towards Cockfosters) into the city, which is what I did, with no issues.

Established in 1106 AD! I love this place--I've stayed here twice. It's beautiful, the pub is very good, the rooms are nice and comfortable, and it's only 10-15 minutes from London Heathrow Airport (terminal 5, use line 703).

Great character, good location before or after air travel. Good pub restaurant. Parking. Will go again.

Room temperature is very temperamental. The food was lovely but quite slow.

Cute village, close to motorway. Easy to get into London. Room lovely. Tea/coffee/ biscuit. Shower gels, etc. Car parking included.

Very comfy room and a pleasant pub for an evening meal with pretty standard pub food. Very handy for Terminal 5 in the morning and everyone we met were very helpful.

Did not like wash basin actually in the bedroom not a proper bathroom. Road noise room next to road. Shower did not have anywhere to put soap, shampoo when using shower.

Dinner and breakfast good. Liked the historic aspect of the pub. Easy to get to Heathrow airport. Shower good.

Lication, facilities & courtesy

Fake grass in beer garden. No washbasin in toilet.

Such an historic hostelry, yet modernised with taste, providing very comfortable and quiet accommodation. Cosy bar serving great food. So handy for Heathrow and much more atmospheric than any one of the drab modern hotel chains nearby.

Hoovering and mopping whilst we were eating our breakfast! Dinner was great but took forever and wasn't even busy. Could be a ten out of ten with a few tweaks.

Excellent friendly and helpful staff, great character filled property, great shower!

Breakfast was very slow arriving Skirting boards and architrave on the toilet cubicle were very grimy at the bottom Had the soup for dinner and it arrived tepid Breakfast took ages to arrive - to the extent that I went from having "oodles" of time to being late arriving on site. Opted for the veggie breakfast at £9.50 but was then charged £12:00 (the price on the menu for a full English) as I'd had a pot of tea. Noisy mattress - sounds odd but I think the mattress was based on springs so everytime I breathed, I could hear "ping, ping. ping" from below. Ended up with earphones and listening to the radio, then managed to get to sleep. Directions to the rooms were not clearly marked, some were hidden behind a plant

Service at breafast was very slow resulting in me being late on arrival at site despite having allowed ptenty of time. Staff were friendly. Car parking was good. Location was fab for the site I was visiting Very old building, lots of character Very convenient for the site I was visiting Restaurant had lots of space
