High Road House Hotel

The hotel is lovely but it is really let down by the staff and the terrible service in the brasserie. Breakfast is almost always cold and you will be left sitting there for ages. Several times I have had to walk across the length of the restaurant to get service. Such a pity we have had such a nice place to stay and eat ruined by poor service.

You would never believe what lies behind the unassuming entrance of this luxury boutique hotel. But saying that this place was designed and created by the guys behind Soho House and Babington House, so you definitely get all the luxury that you expect. It only has fourteen bedrooms which are on the small side but perfectly formed. The rooms have been designed as upscale attic rooms all of them have Sky, super large double beds and white shaker style interiors but with a stylish twist. Bathrooms have old fashioned wash stands and free standing baths. However I have stayed in one of their rooms before, which only had a shower room, but it was a great shower with one of those old fashion dinner plate size shower heads. All the products in the bathrooms are Cowshed, and unlike most hotels they are not stingy on the amount they give you - it’s like product overload - fabulous if you are like me and a complete product junkie. Don’t forget to check out the bathroom and bedside table draws, snack/goodies galore!
Upstairs, you have the club’s dining room, cocktail bar and meeting areas. The style is more lux than the bedrooms in this area, lots of black and different green colours with super plush fabrics and furnishings. The cocktails are fantastic, so this is a great place to start the evening before hitting the town.
The basement area is in sections - the play pen (with a pool table and table football) a bed area for chilling out, a service bar and a screening area complete with a state-of-the-art flat screen.
