  Fantastic Staff, and gorgeous rooms.

  I stayed at the Jester while I was in the area for business. Bas and his chef Derek bent over backwards to accommodate during what was a very difficult time for them at the tail end of the second lockdown. With no other staff to support them, and making preparations for the reopening, they still found time to make sure I had access to evening meals and breakfast, despite the fact they had no reason to open the kitchen, just to serve me. As my stay extended in to the reopening period post lock down, I got to sample some of their fantastic weekly specials on the menu, which you really do have to order at the first opportunity, or there is the very real possibilty of missing out. The room I stayed in was fantastic, with a very co.fortable, vintage 4 poster bed, and I also had the chance to see a few of the modernised rooms they had been preparing, should I opt for a change on future business trips. Can honestly say, this will forever be my choice of hotel when visiting the area, and I would urge anyone nearby to drop in for dinner given the chance.

  Even at the price, the hotel is disappointing. Rooms are adequate but need a proper refresh and public areas also tired. Covid has had an impact on facilities as only the bar was open and no food on offer.

  overnight stay

  Allocated spacious room with four poster bed with spotless white sheets and duvet cover. We had a large walk in shower and soft bath sheets. Tea and coffee making tray provided and good size television on wall. Extra pillows and towels in wardrobe if required. Our meal in the bar was lovely. I had delicious beef stir fry and my husband had beef curry which he said was very nice. Sticky toffee pudding and custard was so good. All washed down with a nice Sauvignon and lager. The owner Bas is very attentive and gave us bottles of water for room. Nothing seems too much trouble for him and the young gentleman working with him. This hotel is in an ideal situation to take the train in to London for a days sightseeing without having to stay in a busy environment. The station is directly across the road.

  Nice little find...

  Last minute booking all without a hitch. Great friendly owner and staff. The owner Bas making the most that the current restrictions allow. Restaurant seemed to do a good trade and all organised well under difficult times. Will make this my hotel of choice when im that way again.
