Skylark B&B

It was more or less as expected, a family-run place, B&B than hotel or “motel, with guests being allowed to bring and store their own food aside from the breakfast provided by the facility. The staff members were beyond helpful; I felt welcomed and cared for literally from the moment I arrived, dragging myself from Heathrow after a bumpy nonstop flight, until the moment I left. They made recommendations for places to go and visit based on my interests and my stories about where I’d already gone; suggestions for local places to eat, drink and socialize; and best of all were very knowledgeable about the local public transportation systems and the best ways to get about. The accommodations were pretty much all I needed and expected; comfortable when I wanted to be by myself, and no unnecessary frills or extra details which often (in my experience, anyway) serve little purpose or have any actual value except to pad the bill. I would make only one small suggestion: The owners might want to look into installing ceiling fans in the common areas in the back, if possible, which were glass-enclosed and got considerably less comfortable in the heat of the day; I had them in my home for similar purposes in a similar setting, and they did wonders! In closing, I cannot but give my highest personal recommendations for this venue — AAA+++!!! I’ll never forget my experience, and the wonderful contribution they made to a trip of a lifetime!

Great for access off the M4 and tube. A bit warm in the room during the heatwave as no external window.

The bedroom was ideally situated on the ground floor and a pleasant room, However there was disturbance throughout the night from the front door buzzer and noise from the reception,which unfortunately didn't aide a restful night's sleep

Overall 9/10 , good hotel
