We have just had lunch at this lovely restaurant and it was fab. it is in a fantastic setting, staff friendly attentive and knowledgeable and the food was great. The dishes were well balanced slightly different without being odd and the portion size just right. We left wanting to go back soon to taste other dishes on the menu. Only... More

I used to stay in certain hotels around Heathrow area as the office is nearby. However a colleague of mine who lives near this hotel convinced me to stay there during my last business trip. With a local cap you can get for 40 pounds from the airport (25 minutes). The room were I stayed was perfect, comfortable bed, and... More

In may 2013 the Sanctum hosted my 60th birthday party. From the outset Colin and Tina, managers of the Sanctum, were extremely helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. As a result the evening was a great success. Drinks were served in the garden and pool area, which was very atmospheric and the meal was served in a lovely marquee in... More

I decided to book a table for my husband's birthday especially after seeing Luke on TV we were excited to see what the food was like. We weren't disappointed, we ended up having one of each course and each course was delicious and the puddings were especially delicious. The waiter/drinks service was both quick, polite and friendly. So much so... More

Good food, good beer, nice bedrooms, friendly staff and management, nice garden, nice surroundings a very nice place to stay whatever you require in my opinion. Have stayed a few times now and wouldn't stay anywhere else in the area given the choice! Don't think the menu is overpriced as the food is excellent. Breakfast is also very good! Would... More

I decided to take a chance and book the Sanctum for my girlfriends birthday after reading some not so impressive reviews, however this hotel seemed to carry a reputation in high regard on the mouths of most people who have heard of it. Check is at 2pm, so I booked us a table for lunch at 1pm. The food was... More

This hotel is a spa and advertized a quite high-end and not cheap, so we expected a lot. Reception was friendly and the room clean and nicely appointed. The dining menu looked quite expensive and we decided to eat elsewhere. A couple of other guests told us ours was a wise choice. This advertizes Bed and Breakfast, so we expected... More

such a shame as the surroundings are beautiful and the location is perfect. The staff (especially management) were awful, almost starting an argument with me and making me and my guests feel very unwelcome. The swimming pool was dirty with cigarette ends in the bottom and the whole place was dirty and needs a freshen up. The food however was... More

Went to an "open" afternoon at the Sanctum put on for locals of the area. Really impressive surrounding and very excited by the bar area but sadly the service was poor when ordering drinks (went twice) that we decided it wasn't worth eating there. Sad really as getting the service right is the easy bit.
