The Harvard Inn

I’ve stayed here on business a bunch of times and it is one of my favourite hotels. The entire place is beautifully done and rooms are superb. Breakfasts and dinners are first class and the staff are wonderful. 11/10

Excellent, super friendly staff

Just an amazing place. The food is incredible. Lovely cosy rooms. Friendly staff and superb athmosphere. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Always look forward to a stay at the Harvard Inn. Friendly staff, super rooms, great food and ambience. 10/10 for me

Very convenient for a wedding at Crondon Park, the hotel offers early key collection and bag drop, so you can collect your key before the room is ready so that you can take it with you to the wedding and leave your bags before hand which was perfect. Check in process was easy and the gentleman on the desk was very friendly and helpful. Hotel is lovely, beds were extremely comfy and the bathroom very modern and spacious. Only downside was the breakfast - I ordered avocado and poached egg on toast and the eggs were hard and very strongly tasted of vinegar?? Eggs also overdone on partners full English however the rest was good

A nice little Inn just one hour from London. Nice accommodation renovated without compromising the old structure. We liked it a lot and would go back again.A good English breakfast not a great one. Lot’s of choices with fruit and cereal on a self serve buffet.There would be some improvement to be made. But again it’s an Inn not a hotel. It was Nice.

2 twin beds pushed together with no topper and completely different mattresses so not comfortable, noisy with pub deliveries in the morning due to situation of room even though a quiet room was requested. Staff and food lovely

We had a one night stay as we had a wedding to attend nearby. The building has been lovingly restored and has retained a lot of its character and history. No issues with parking which is always great. They allowed us to check in early (for a small fee) which was very helpful. Check in all went smoothly and staff were very pleasant. The room was very tastefully decorated and equipped. A large main room and modern bathroom with nice towels. Couldn’t fault the cleanliness of the room. The carpet was very nice and felt thick underfoot. Kettle, tea and coffee and bottles of water are always nice to see in the room. Although no mini fridge if you need one. Breakfast is table service which I always prefer to a buffet style. The cooked breakfast was fairly nice too bar a couple of things below. However, there were a few problems that overall made us leaving the next day feeling less than refreshed: 1. the double bed was two singles pushed together which was very uncomfortable as you could feel the join and edges. You need a decent mattress topper if you’re going to do this. I didn’t feel the mattress was very comfortable either; too hard. The pillows weren’t very comfortable either and felt too hard. 2. The room was very noisy. The hotel is practically adjacent to the main road and our room (number 10) was directly next to the road. Although not a busy road, every time I felt myself drifting off I heard and felt a car driving past the window. Come morning thudding from upstairs could be heard loudly. Also very annoying were the curtains, very thin so let a lot of light in from street lights and then daylight. I definitely always prefer blackout curtains/blinds. 3. There was no hand soap in the bathroom? Not sure if this was an omission or on purpose. Very odd not to have something to wash your hands with. Also couldn’t get the towel rail to work meaning the room was very cold and left the nice tiled floor freezing underfoot. 3. The cooked breakfast was nice except the sausages. Either they were overcooked or poor quality. A cappuccino is not included in the breakfast price for some reason. It was also a giant mug of milky coffee which isn’t a cappuccino! Overall, for the price I can’t complain too much as it was lovely place to be (just not to sleep overnight); if it wasn’t for the issues above it would have been a 5.

Great stay, nice clean rooms good service, nice bar area.
