It was inexpensive but the location was great and served our needs perfectly for a quick night. The room was quite large, with snacks and bottled water included. The window was a little funky as was opaque, but we got some ambient light. Be aware there is no elevator, but we literally only had backpacks, so it was fine for us. Desk service was very good. He clearly explained things to us, polite and friendly. Overall, this was a clean, very serviceable budget hotel with a great location. They apparently have a deal with a nearby restaurant for a discount on their buffet, but we didn't partake.

Great location right in the city and within walking distance from the train station. Jamie's is…read more(was?) right below. Big cons: very oddly shaped rooms and no elevator even though the lobby is on the second floor. Loud at night with bar and street noise from below. Bottled water and cookies each night was a nice touch.

The room was clean and quiet as was the shared bath. We went to the No1 restaurant for dinner as per Elizabetta's suggestion and recieved complementary aperitifs from the Tower House before an amazing meal. Breakfast was also included the next morning and the eggs benedict had a perfect sauce, not too heavy. We would definitely return.

The rooms (there are only two) are modern, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Last but most definitely not least is the breakfast! Don't feel like eating for the rest of the day? Then you won't have a problem here. The offerings of fresh fruit salad, cereals, fruit juices and tea or coffee are enough but add on top of that the amazing Aga cooked full English and you will be in foody heaven.

I won a one night stay at this peaceful rural retreat by composing a poem about The Chilterns area…read morewhich has been published on the Visit Chilterns website. The booking by email was administered very efficiently and we extended at a cost of ninety Pounds for one extra night as my Australian friend was over. Miv, the owner asked us if there were any special dietary requirements but there are none for us. We caught,at some expense, Chiltern Railways from London Marylebone to Princes Risborough. The internet instructions I got, not from the actual B&B website, but from Google Maps or something, proved to give us the runaround. We walked in the pouring rain and I had to knock on someone else's door in a different part of town for directions as there are two streets with 'Icknield' in them. Our upstairs room was very clean, quite large with a small TV and a rocking horse, shower and comfortable bed. We were able to order an Italian meal from a local takeaway to be delivered on the first night which we ate in the kitchen. The breakfasts are superb with bacon, sausage and the usual, lovely bread and I tried Grape Nuts for the first time with yogurt and lemon curd. We walked into the quaint town on the next, much sunnier day and gazed at the lovely church and Amy Johnson's house, browsed charity shops and then caught the 300 bus to Aylesbury which I had never visited before. The 300 bus we caught back (destination High Wycombe) and this dropped us at the end of the street from the B&B (we just had to pass a crossroads). Miv gave us use of the annex lounge and kitchenette which opens onto a very large garden and I finished a crime book sitting and lying in the sun next to a farm at the end of the garden. The cats are shy - I would have liked to have stroked them. A real rural retreat from London, peaceful and some of the houses are very 'Midsomer Murders' around this area. Well done Miv for donating this prize - I've never really spent the night in a large house in The Chilterns before and her husband very kindly gave us a lift back to the station for our train to London as it was raining. I can understand a B&B owner not wanting smoking inside but I think an ashtray for the garden would be handy although we didn't really get negative comments about our cigarettes. It reminded me of New Zealand this B&B!

Never Judge a Book by it's Cover…read more Never has a statement been soo true. I would never have walked into this pub. If I had walked in, one look at the football flags on the ceiling, the dirty dated decor, dodgy loud electro music and the clientele would make me turn right around and run away. All over the walls are an eclectic mix of female film idols, drink advertisements for beverages they don't even offer and general tat all look odd and out of the place. The walls are painted in rich colours and trendy wallpaper completely juxterposed the original - old man pub - carpet. Inside there menus describe themselves as a 'shot bar and restaurant' with a picture of a flaming glass. This is possibly the funniest thing I've ever seen, as apart from the Blue Neon lights installed above the bar, this is so far from the image they really project. When I was there it appeared two 14 year old boys were manning the bar. One, clearly experienced, the other who - while polite, couldn't serve alcohol for some reason. They sell wine in mini bottles and if it doesn't come out of a gun, they don't sell it. Also in that night was Southall's biker society. Why am I here you ask? Apart from having little choice in the matter (demanding ex) I was told the curry was great. In fact I was told that the previous owners of what was The Glassy Junction by Southall Station were now set up here. So, we order the food. The Menu had a great variety and was very very reasonably priced for the area. Lots of veggie options clearly displayed under 'non meat'. The barman who was new had no clue how to use the till to order food and so the farce continued. It may have taken half an hour for him to take our money and another 50 mins for our food to come out. However - (big however) when the food came out, it was pretty amazing. Moorish and full of flavor. Generous portions, cheap prices and absolutely beautiful grub. The veggie curry was so yummy and the Dhal was the best I've ever had. Smooth and creamy in texture. The Baji's were not grease, but perfectly cooked and seasoned. The entire experience was so awful and surprising at the same time. I'm torn. Do I give one star or 5? One star for just how awful the place really is, or 5 for the hilarity and beautiful food?
