April 2025

Breakfast was lovely with plenty of choice, and dinner was great too. We didn’t need lunch as breakfast kept us going, and we were out exploring most days. Runnymede was a brilliant base - loved the riverside walks, seeing Magna Carta, Staines, and trips into London. It was lovely coming back to meals and entertainment waiting for us. The room was very comfortable with everything we needed. A really lovely stay.

The freshly cooked omelette at breakfast was excellent. At dinner, the trout was perfectly cooked, and the fish stew was superb. Lovely riverside setting with spacious tables, and the restaurant staff were fantastic and flexible. Enjoyed exploring the grounds and local area. Rock of Stages on Friday was brilliant - William really stood out and was superb later in the Live Lounge Bar too.
