Taplow House Hotel & Spa

It was ok

We stayed here to celebrate an anniversary. The hotel staff are exceptional, helpful, very friendly and couldnt do enough to help. From check in to check out all the staff were amazing.

The spa is ok - nice out door jacuzzi, but gets cramped very quickly - being an autumn day - couldnt make use of the limited outdoor seating and no where really to sit in doors and relax. This was a last minute booking and no availability to book any treatments which was disappointing.

The room was small - just a normal 4'6" double which was very uncomfortable, the room was very noisy with lots of banging at one point sounded like someone moving furniture in the middle of the night.

On a plus note we ate dinner in the restaurant and breakfast as well as part of our dinner, bed and breakfast package. The is excellent, good quality and great flavours. The gentleman that served us was lovely and made our evening. The restaurant is was the highlight of our stay.

I wouldnt go back to this hotel, but for the money it was ok.

A bit misleading

I felt that marketing this as a spa break was somewhat misleading, as the spa facilities were limited to a sauna and an outdoor hot tub - which, in winter, was quite chilly. It was clearly popular, as both the sauna and hot tub were busy, but it felt like this was a package that had been oversold to people to fill rooms in off-peak times. The food was lovely, though the service could be a bit haphazard at times. I don't think they had the capacity to serve everyone who was there e.g. only one bar man so quite a few people left waiting. Overall, while enjoyable in parts, the spa experience did not fully meet expectations.

Taplow Hotel

The staff were outstanding and the food was the best I have experienced in year, However, there was a fault with the electricity in my room and the pool was very small.
