Very good breakfast options available with excellent staff service across all areas of the hotel.
Minor niggles only - no 2nd toilet roll in bathroom and had to hunt to find the 2nd set of towels for a 2 occupancy room.

We stayed here while at the State Fayre festival and will definitely stay here again if there is another festival next year. Friendly staff, lovely gardens and comfortable rooms (although air conditioning would’ve been nice during the heatwave!)
Only suggestion would be: upgrade the toiletries in the rooms please. Two tiny watery bottles is not enough!

We were in the area to attend a family party - so the hotel was just somewhere to stay overnight before and afterwards.
We wouldn’t return to this hotel.

Stayed at the Ivy Hill Hotel for a couple of nights visiting family for Christmas. An excellent hotel for a quiet break but within easy reach of London. Staff were fantastic. We had an evening meal in the restaurant and breakfast - both very nice. We were given a room upgrade and it was more spacious than our previous visit - very comfortable. Would definitely book again.

Large, very clean room, with plenty of storage space too. The bed was really comfy and big too. Great shower in the bathroom, some more surface space would have been handy in there though. The pipe system is really loud between rooms, which I'd say was the only downside.

So, this is a Best Western, and accordingly my expectations were tempered before I arrived.

On the plus side, the staff were outstanding throughout!

On the rather more sizeable minus side....
The \"suite\" as described on the booking page is nothing of the sort.
In fact I did question I was in the right room and was advised, \"yes sir, that is our suite\".
No, that is a standard room with a 4 poster bed!

Speaking of the bed.
Sorry but the idea is to have a firmish mattress and softish pillows - not the other way round!
That has to be the softest mattress I have ever slept on.

Food is what you would expect.
Not bad, but not memorable either.

Overall.
If you have the choice, pick somewhere else. I am sure there are better nearby.
If you don't have the choice, don't pick the \"suite\". You will not be happy with the premium charged for what is little more than a standard room.

Stayed here several times previously to attend an event held here. Hotel ok but overpriced for the standard. The room was not as good as previous stays - avoid Room 10, if the bathroom or wardrobe door is open when you enter the room you walk into these doors! Unbelievable that the hotel had run out of shower / bath gel for rooms as the order hadn't arrived! We were given more soap and shampoo to make up for this! The cooked breakfast was a bit too greasy (fried eggs were rubbery as been kept warm so long).

I didn’t get the room that was in the description online that I had paid for, we had a lack of towels and pillows, in the room there was meant to also be a sofa bed which was not there. The bed was a lot smaller than the website stated. There was a door in the room that led to the room next door with only a bit of cardboard between the door and the next room. Made us feel very insecure. The food the next morning tasted extremely cheap with small portion sizes. When we arrived to check in the staff were coming across like we were an inconvenience, not welcoming and didn’t give off any nice feelings for our stay.

Room was old and in need of modernisation and new carpets and bathroom. Wasnt particularly clean either and ended up rewashing our cups etc but then its 3 star so cant expect too much but found it rather pricey given there were cheaper hotels around which looked nicer.

Shame rooms not up to standard.

Room 23 was nice but disappointed with condition of bathroom. Reception staff agree to move to us to another but on her inspection bathroom also in poor dirty condition so moved us to an executive room which was also disappointing due to loads of cobwebs on light and all around the coving which was mentioned to the staff. Bathroom again was disgusting, when lifted toilet seat two yellow stains when lifted seat hairs on bowl, the hand held shower head could not used don't think ever cleaned, paint peeling and mold on ceiling, extractor fan not cleaned in a while, mirror on bath panel splashes all along it and several other issues. Very disappointed, this was a treat for us both which was needed so didn't want to make a fuss but thought should share would not want anyone to experience. Reception staff understanding and helpful.

The Shower was new, and it came out the Shower but also came out the Tap, i looked to make it come out of Shower, but nothing to press !!
The 2nd night, Abba night was on and it kept playing, so a bit late, and then couldn't sleep as , another people in Hotel had a Fight and it went on for a long time, so was tired, and was going to someone 100th Birthday party , so it was quite hard, as I travel alone ,
But not Hotel Fault, but have to sort out what I've Told you, The Staff are nice,

Nice, standard Best Western Fayre

Nice, comfortable hotel, with good food and nice rooms.
Couple of minor gripes; the heating made the odd 'gurgle' in the bathroom during the night and the shower was on a shower pump - as soon as you turned it on the pump kicked into action. Not a problem for me but I'm sure my fellow guests would not have been too happy.
Also, check-in was a little strange; I had to scan a QR-code and check in online when I got to the hotel (to save paper, apparently, although my booking had been printed out and was sat in front of the receptionist). Not a problem but it would have been nice to be notified in advance - I received the standard \"You can check in online\" mail from Hotels.com, but tend to ignore these as have had bad experiences in the past

Clean but very basic, no lifts, no fridge or telephone in the rooms, no heating, bins not emptied during the day though beds made and toilets cleaned.
The room was freezing cold as it was a wet weekend in late September/early October- we were assured that the radiators were timed and would come on and given a tiny fan heater- the radiator never came on at all. Each time we needed to speak to the staff about this we had to go down to reception only to be fobbed off with a promise that it was going to come on until we gave up and managed with the fan heater which took ages, dried the room out and got too hot at 3am so we had to get up and switch it off - freezing by 6am again.
Good breakfast, great restaurant service and we had a good dinner at Bartellas, the in house restaurant. Tea making facilities in the room adequate but we had to ask for more teabags, they left us one biscuit pack(2 biscuits) to be shared between 2 on one of the days. Plenty of hot water so bath/ shower no problems, but the toiletries were a bit basic, no shower cap.

Adequate for 1 night not recommended for longer

We stayed as a family of 4 after a wedding and all stayed in 1 room. It was adequate for 1 night and there was just enough space.
The shower was barely a dribble which meant I couldn't wash my thick hair but it was fine for the kids and my husband.
The WiFi signal was weak so not able to stream video on my tablet.
