Full of character and very comfortable

Pros: We wanted a hotel for a one night stay close to the Elizabeth Line for Heathrow. But we also wanted one with character and comfort. The Rookery met those requirements. A lovely old building with a very comfortable room and bed. Ideally placed for us and with plenty of eating options close by. Cons: We would have preferred a room with a shower rather than a bath - but we should have specified this when booking.
