Lonely stay and very comfortable
Richard
Really nice place. Food is excellent all be it expensive. Lovely room. Only criticism was it had no window that opened and it needed fresh air. Room 7
Rick
We enjoyed our stay.
Janek
Had a lovely stay here in the Robin room, aircon was a nice feature in the hot weather, food looked great and reasonably priced, great countryside location and staff were lovely, would highly recommend a stay here.
schuyler
Lovely staff and charming property.
clare
This was ok for a stop over after a function. On first impressions nice looking and comfortable. Staff were friendly but lacked service experience or were not interested, more interested in their phones. Room was clean and bathroom was big enough with a double shower. Bed could do with a new mattress. Water in the mini fridge. I personally would skip breakfast and find somewhere else!
Gemma
Lovely clean room. The staff were amazing, they work so hard and are really friendly and smiley. We ate here too for dinner and breakfast, the food was lovely. We will definitely stay here again if we are in the area.
Elizabeth
We enjoyed our stay. The extra large, free car park away from city congestion is a bonus.
Rooms were clean and comfortable. Staff are friendly. Easy access to LHR. Nice local hiking trails.

David
Hospitality was fine and staff very friendly, but room air conditioning was not working and en suite toilet did not flush. View from bedroom window overlooked a bin area.
Ian
Great cosy feeling
Hannah
Certainly not as nice as the photos make out. We would not stay again and do not recommend it. Poor nights sleep for many reasons. Not a good shower. Smelly bathroom, noisy fridge, very light in room at night due to fire exit light in room ...hard pillows. Also very glad breakfast wasn't included based on what we saw. Overpriced for what it is.
Daniel
Great room, lovely and comfy, decor was great too
John
The staff were excellent and extremely friendly.
Kate
Hotel itself was quirky, good food, helpful and friendly staff. Location good for our visit to the area. Overall the room was lovely. Bed was comfortable, nice little touches like a decent mini fridge with water and fresh milk for tea and coffee, and a radio playing classic fm as we arrived in room. Good size, plenty of space, no noise from neighbouring rooms. . However room Jay was right above the kitchen and dining room and a lot of banging early in morning.
Luke
Wonderful accommodation and pub
Charlotte
Great customer service and comfortable room. Had a great night’s sleep. Only critique is the rain shower didn’t have a lot of pressure but overall the stay was great
Pamela
Our room was very tired- stained paintwork and ceiling. No hairdryer.

Lovely staff, big comfy bed, toasty warm room, cafetiere and ground coffee, good shower. Lighting was a bit dim for reading/ working and a few areas of the decor were worn.

Samantha
The room was hot and smelled musty (Wren) when I walked in. I immediately opened the windows to try and get rid of the smell, but the windows are on a cable, so don't open very far. The radiator in the bathroom was on full which didn't help matters and I con't think there was a way to turn it off, despite being 16 degrees outside.
When I tried to use the air conditioning, it turned on, but I couldn't get it to blow any air.
To be fair, I didn't report any of the issues as I dragged off my hot motorbike gear and was too exhausted to get dressed and go back downstairs. Staff may well ahve resolved the heat issue for me if I'd asked.
Slept with the window open all night, but luckily it was quiet - absolutely no noise from outside despite being a pub.
On the positive side, the bed was really comfy, pillows were good and I was given somewhere out of sight to park the motorbike where I could chain it to a post. The staff are really friendly and helpful too.
Can't comment on breakfast as it starts at 7am and I had already left.

The staff was absolutely lovely, but the photos didn’t ring true to actuality. The carpet was riddled with stains, the room smelled musty, the bathroom toilet lid had permanent scratches that made it feel dirty, the walls were marked with stains and scratches, the ceiling was damaged, and there were termites or flying ants inside near windows. Again, staff was so kind.

The people were lovely and friendly, check in was quick and easy, and the room was clean and comfortable. 100% recommend

Our go-to hotel when flying from Heathrow
Our go-to hotel if we need somewhere to stay before a Heathrow flight. The staff are all very friendly, food is excellent (both dinner and breakfast), plentiful parking. We stayed in an executive room this time - we liked the extra space and would book this again. Last time we were there we were helping some friends who had suffered a tragedy that day, and I managed to knock over a large G&T. Even without knowing what we were dealing with, the lady behind the bar calmly cleared up the mess and sorted a fresh one - no charge and no judgement. We really appreciated her kindness.

Great place to stay
Second visit, great room, clean, good coffee in the room, parking on site.
My only gripe on this visit is the mattress was awful, I could feel the springs through the mattress.

Over priced mediocre hotel and food
I am not sure how a hotel can justify a double room at £123 without breakfast and then charge £5 for a small bottle of water in the room.
Staff were friendly and room was large and clean but whole place needs an update.
Evening meal was overpriced mediocre pub food.
Would I book again, doubt it.

A very good b&b pub. Good facilities, clean and good bathroom. Cost of evening meal a little high for the quality.
Sarah
A great place to stay.
Accommodation was excellent. Beautifully decorated room and well equipped with tea and coffee, fresh milk, water and lovely toiletries. Could not fault room.
Very good choice for breakfast which we enjoyed.
Dinner was not so enjoyable and we didn’t feel it was value for money.
Staff all very polite and friendly.

Clean, calm and cosy
This was the loveliest little night away with my daughter. Drinking tea and listening to Classic FM in a big, comfy bed was the literal dream. My only observation was that the towel rail was hotter than the 9th circle and I stupidly burnt my arm.
Chris
I liked the friendly staff and the delicious restaurant.
christian
I have enjoyed staying at this establishment in the past, but unfortunately, it feels like it's going downhill with little effort being made to maintain the high standards it once had.
During my recent stay, I encountered several issues that were quite disappointing:
No remote control for the TV: This made it inconvenient to use the television.
Carpet with signs of spillage: The carpet had numerous stains, indicating a lack of proper cleaning.
Flickering light in the bathroom: This made using the bathroom quite challenging and uncomfortable.
Showerhead and bar not fit for purpose: The shower setup was inadequate and difficult to use.
Unprofessional repair work: A noticeable and poorly executed repair suggested that maintenance is being handled by someone inexperienced in DIY.
Given these issues, I regret to say that I will not be returning.

Really nice pub, good food and drink. Nice rooms, well maintained. The only negatives were that the matress on my bed was really uncomfortable, past its best by a long way. Also, the price of the food was too high for what it was, very nice but a checken burger is not worth £18.95....
Piotr
Excellently run, proper Inn.
Hannah
(Stayed in Room 2) Firstly the food was absolutely fantastic! I mean wow, wow, wow. Devoured the lot! 5* for the food. We would happily come for dinner again and again. The room was pleasant, clean and the bath was lovely and spacious (could fit two SLIM people satisfactory). Loved the tea selection and mini fridge compliments as well! However, when you opened the cupboard with the ironing board, a smell of mouldy cheese comes wafting out (so I quickly closed that and moved swiftly on) we booked for a king size bed but instead got two single beds pushed together!? Essentially trying to create the illusion of a king size bed… but a terrible idea when you have a crack in the middle between you and your loved one. The bed was uncomfortable, overly bouncy and springy and lacked any sense of comfort so we didn’t sleep great at all and woke up feeling stiff as a rod the following morning so I wouldn’t recommend staying overnight, unless you are willing to pay for a luxury room. However we would highly recommend going for dinner.

A great stay at the bird in the hand.
What a good find, beautiful decor, friendly efficient and attentive staff. The food was first class.
Rachel
The pub is on a busy road but the room was set back from the road and there was no issue with the noise. Plenty of parking available. Unfortunately we stayed on a very hot night, and even with the fan provided we struggled to sleep. The room was very small and had strange plug sockets.Tea & coffee making facilities in the room were good. We chose to have dinner at the hotel and were both very pleased with our meals. We found the older staff to be more attentive than the younger ones, who were more interested in chatting to each other. 25 mins from Heathrow - overall a good option if you don’t like staying in airport hotels, just not on a hot night.

John
Excellent experience
I was called down to Reading for a business meeting. Unfortunately, i am on crutches at the moment, so needed on site parking which most city centre Hotels did not offer, i booked this hotel as it was only a short distance away from my meeting venue, Iwas greeting and checked in by the manager, he then carried my overnight bag to my room for me, (thank you ). The room was lovely and clean with a vast array of nibbles and a well stocked fridge, suppliments applied.
After freshening up i went to the comfortable bar , restaurant and ordered my food, the bar staff took my drink order from the table and brought it to me, the food was first class and very tasty,
all in all a very satisfying stay, top marks to the staff, i would definitely recomend thus as a place to stay.

Beautiful hotel conveniently located just 30 minutes away from Heathrow airport. The hotel staff were very friendly and welcoming. The rooms were tastefully decorated and provided high-quality equipment and products. The breakfast was delicious. Highly recommended.

Poor communication
We were disappointed with our stay. We had 2 nights booked from 1/1-1/3. The hotel did not tell us that the superior room that we reserved (and already paid for) was no longer available. They didn't even tell us at check in!! They just took us to a basic room with no mention of the change. When I went back down to inquire, they said that a \"water issue\" forced the change, but they made no effort to compensate us for the change in reservation. They also did not tell us that on 1/1, our day of arrival, that their reception, bar and restaurant were closing at 5PM. This was our final stop after a long day, and we had planned to settle in with food and drink. Part of the reason we wanted to stay here was because we enjoyed relaxing at the fireplace with a snack and cocktail previously! That did not happen as they were turning out the lights within minutes of our arrival at 5.
They did say that they had \"tried\" to call me, but they couldn't reach me because of the international #. I found this VERY odd, as I continued receiving \"welcome\" emails from the hotel up through my day of arrival, none of which mentioned any change to the reservation or the hours that they would be open. This was very disappointing. We had stayed here before and had had a lovely experience, but I do not think that we will return.

Beautiful pub / hotel, full of charm and character. The meals are good, but tend to be over fussy and elaborated, but don't add to the quality of the meal. Breakfast was actually nicer than the dinner!
Ideal for a one night stay and only 25 minutes to Heathrow.

Staff were friendly. Room needed some maintenance, shower dripped. Heating not great. Breakfast at 8 was slightly late for working breakfast, so went without. Overall lovely place though and would stay again
Tim
We had a bad experience here caused by other guests: at one in the morning, a group of men were standing outside singing and swearing for ages. It woke me up and I couldn’t sleep afterwards. I phoned the desk and left a message on the answerphone but have not had a response. I told the breakfast waiter in the morning and he said he knew who they were, since they had behaved like that the night before as well and were outside when he left at 11.45. He says he had emailed their company and said it was totally unacceptable behaviour as all the other guests had complained. Would I stay here again- doubtful, as we do like to sleep when we go to a hotel!
What a pity. The room was very clean and the young staff were most helpful.

Well worth a stay.
A good find, I'm pleased I booked here for my 1 night whilst working in the area. The room was very pleasant with the added bonus of air con, which in this weather, and being in the roof space, was really needed. I stayed for the evening meal, it was ok and breakfast was a good start to the day. A tip for the chefs though, brioche buns only need a light toasting, not a full on nuclear attack. That aside The Bird in Hand lived up to its scores. I'll happily stay here again and would recommend it.
Joshua
Everything was fine. Though travelocity said it was air conditioned and it was not. Also, there were 4 different types of power outlets in the room, the ones near the head of the beds were not the usual type. I didn't have an adapter for those to run my CPAP machine. I had to plug it in on the opposite wall, and sleep with my head at the foot of the bed.

Lovely pub/hotel from the outside despite being on a busy main road, which we couldn’t hear from our bedroom. Food was good in the pub and staff were friendly and attentive. Bathroom is in need of an update or refresh in comparison to the bedroom itself. The room felt cramped with lots of furniture and refreshments (both for free and to buy). Lack of plug sockets. Overall pleasant, reliable stay

Bath seemed to gave no mens of filling it except the shower. Breakfast menu was strange - only allowed one choice on menu , no separate toast or fruit. No egg cups for bolied eggs!!
