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.
