The Elephant Hotel

Exceptional

Liked: A great hotel, in a lovely location. All the staff were friendly and helpful.We dined in the Herd restaurant, and the food was amazing. Once again, the staff were great. Would recommend.

Too hot in the summer

Liked: Friendly staff
Disliked: Really hot only a tiny desk fanNoisy room no double glazing Bathroom not working properlyNo fridge

Very good

Good location, very uncomfortable bed.

Liked: Great location close to Pangbourne train station, only a couple minutes walk. Good breakfast.
Disliked: Incredibly creaky bed that kept waking us up. Arrived at 9.30pm on a Sunday. Was disappointed that no food available, but thought it was incredible that they had closed the bar and cashed up early, so we couldn’t even get a drink! Not great after a long day travelling, then bad night sleep due to old squeaky bed.

A good stay and overall...

Liked: Lovely annex room. Direct room access to the safe enclosed garden was lovely.It was dog friendly with a dog bed (on which we could put his own bedding). The bag of treats and a ball provided was a nice touch.Dinner and wine (4 Adults and 1 toddler) in the restaurant was very good indeed and sensibly priced. The Hanger Steak was excellent. The children's meal was also good.
Disliked: The toilet kept running after use and had to be manually stopped.The shower didn't drain properly so you were standing in over an inch of your own grey water. This was reported day 1 of our 2 day stay but nothing appeared to have been done about it.We'd suggest the plumbing is reviewed.Serving hot poussin, with a pot of gravy on the side, on a tile is not really a sensible idea.Perhaps if you matched dishes to the menu item rather than serve virtually everything on tiles would be useful.

Really helpful staff, great place...

Liked: Good size rooms, comfortable bed, access to a lovely garden from the ground floor rooms. Staff were very helpful
