I love the ostrich and this is my second time staying here. The steps are a bit much but it was erected in 1106. You couldn’t ask for nicer people, the food is great. Only thing is we had an early flight and it was a Saturday night with a pub so of course no sleep. But that’s not the fault of anyone but ours we should’ve brought earplugs because everyone was just having a great time.

Friendly and helpful staff. Good size clean room with plenty of car parking space. We eat in the restaurant and the food was very good and reasonably priced. A great location to stay overnight if traveling early morning from Heathrow.

I have stayed here before, and will again in 2 weeks, but, this trip was actually for an old friend visiting from the USA for the first time. They were so helpful and looked after him really well.

This property is so convenient to Heathrow and Windsor Castle. We stayed two nights. This is an old historical establishment with quirky ceiling heights and tons of character. Staff are amazingly supportive and kind. Food is delicious. Rooms are small but well appointed. Parking is a bonus! Highly recommend as a comfortable and welcoming place to stay!

We've stayed at the Ostridge a couple of times and have always had a great time. The pub is convenient and excellent. The matresses are typical English mattresses, a fit firm for most American tastes, but we were very comfortable. When we get bach to London, we'll be happy to stay at the Ostridge again. 😁

Charming British Inn, handy to Heathrow with convenient onsite parking. Easy check in, with proactive friendly staff. Room was clean, tastefully decorated and well appointed. Despite being a short drive from Heathrow and above a pub, was not noisy and felt relatively private. Great place to stay.
