After a shaky start the stay at Great Fosters was good. The hotel was full on my first night and unfortunately the room is been allocated had several issues. The staff were unable to move rooms but reassured me I'd be moved first thing in the morning. The second room was much better and the change over was handled well. A good measure of a hotel is how they handle when things go wrong, and the team at Great Fosters stepped up and made it right.
The other aspects of Great Fosters are excellent. Both restaurants are very good, having eaten in the Grill first night and Tudor Pass the second. Food and service in both were great.
The pool area is really special, a huge outdoor heated pool in a very chic setting, reflecting the style and famous guests of the 40s and 50s. The gardens are immaculate and a real joy to walk around.
Car parking is good, and I made use of the electric chargers - though they are a little hidden.
Overall a very good hotel with friendly and helpful staff. A good spot just outside London, close to Heathrow, and somewhere I will definitely consider for flights to and from there.
