Great Fosters

We wanted to stay at an Estate Hotel close to Heathrow for the end of our stay in England. So happy we found Great Fosters! Part of the buildings were built in the 1500s and they have been beautifully crafted to keep the charming atmosphere of old while being able to use modern amenities while staying there. The grounds are absolutely stunning, as we stayed at the beginning of May. We could not help but have beverages by the ponds in back by the cocktail lounge, as well as wander through the grounds, on a daily basis. Every day we found a new lovely place to explore. In addition, the room we stayed in was beautifully appointed and very clean. The staff was AMAZING! We ate breakfast there every morning and had 2 evening meals in the lounge and 1 evening in The Grill. All of the food was quite good. The staff, in every area of the hotel, were friendly, professional, helpful and went out of their way to ensure a lovely stay. I accidentally left a couple of items behind and the hotel reached out to see if I would like them shipped to me. What great service and follow-through, as well as honesty by the staff! Cannot recommend this hotel enough!

We chose to spend my partner’s special bday weekend at this lovely property. Everything from site checkin, the room experience, ambience at the property, culinary experience and the staff we engaged with was FIVE STAR. These guys are defining what good customer focused service means. If you get a chance do upgrade to one of their historical suites - we experienced the charming Queen Anne suite!

We had a tough day so wanted to stop in for a drink. We recieved such warm welcoming personalised service from Ed at the cocktail bar. He didn't push to found out the situation he just have us the best service we've had in ages. He was kind of enough to get us a table for dinner towards the end of service. We were then equally impressed with two wonderful waiters who, despite us being very late, treated us amazingly. Big thanks to everyone! Also we need to find out what wine we had with our steak as it was fantastic!

We stayed here for one night using Hilton points. It is a lovely property and our room was huge and spotlessly clean. The whole place is very dog friendly and the dog bed, bowls and treats already set out in our room were a nice touch. The £20 dog fee was very reasonable. Every member of staff was without exception friendly, polite and helpful which is why this is a 5 star review. Our only small criticism would be that the menu/food and decor in the Estate Grill felt dated. Would still recommend as a great place for a one or two night weekend getaway.

Loved our stay. Perfect room, friendly staff, delicious breakfasts, good meal selection for the evenings and fabulous gardens
