Came here for afternoon tea. It was delicious and the staff were friendly and happy to take photos. If you're not very hungry would recommend sharing a full afternoon tea as portions are very generous! I found the cucumber sandwich roll kind of gross as the bread was like soggy mush but all the other food was nice. It was also annoying that they put 3 teabags in my teapot as the tea was way too strong even though I took out the bags immediately. Fire alarm went off twice, idk if this is a common occurrence but it was a bit irritating. Lovely location otherwise More...

The hotel itself is set back off the main road. Two separate buildings - the old main house and a more modern building with more rooms tucked around the corner. Nice rooms and good tea and coffee facilities - real coffee and cafetiere in each room!! Staff were friendly and accommodating. Nice views from the lookout at the end of the drive over a green countryside with benches. Restaurant food is of a high standard too. Had rump lamb which was incredible! More...

This is a lovely place to stay, full of character and with the history of having been the home of W.S. Gilbert, the celebrated Victorian librettist and one half of Gilbert & Sullivan.
The rooms in the main house are very nice as is the whole building, the garden lodge rooms are also to a good standard, if with less character. The gardens are also good.
The staff were very good.

I discovered this hotel as I travelled to London to meet my daughter. The building and grounds are beautiful; the building was designed by Norman Shaw and it was once the home of WG Gilbert (of Gilbert and Sullivan fame). The grounds are beautiful and well tended and the garden rooms are stylish, comfortable and the ground floor rooms have a patio out to the garden. Despite this it's handy for harrow and has easy access to central London. More...

Stayed two nights in a lovely comfortable room in the annex. Friendly, helpful staff and a good breakfast. Off the beaten track and worth a visit to see the gardens.

Was there on a private event. The hotel is a great venue hosting live opera in the upstairs room. A fabulous marble fire place. Food is very good and always too much to eat. Afternoon teas are a wonderful treat in the garden. Hosts, weddings, private parties etc. Listed building full of history from Gilbert and Sullivan. Their operas are a regular feature of Grims Dyke. I would highly recommend this venue. More...

The Grand facade to the building, shared by the interior, gave the hotel quite an upmarket feel to it. Staff were charming and friendly in reception, as well as at breakfast despite them being rushed off their feet. Our room in the lodge was clean tidy and nicely appointed. So all in all a most pleasant stay! More...

Cracking location. Beautiful building and setting. Very peaceful. Good restaurant and bar. Would have liked a better beer on tap. Breakfast excellent, either continental, full English or kippers/smoked haddock. Great grounds so good for business or a short social break. More...

Absolutely beautiful place. I have had some business meetings and booked for parties there too. My guests always think it is much more expensive than actually is (because they assume that beautiful place should be more expensive).

The main building of the hotel is really lovely. The surrounding gardens are beautiful with some of the best views over the whole of London. You can even see the London Eye from here in central London! We stayed in the lodges which are separate from the main hotel, so a short walk is needed to get to restaurant etc. Perfect if you want to stay in a rural location in London, good value rooms too.

Visited for Christmas dinner with family. The music room was spacious, the food was good and the service was timely. The live jazz band did a great job of keeping a festive sound in the background and were sensible enough not to drown out conversation (from where we sat). Very enjoyable.

I had my birthday meal with some friends here and really enjoyed it, all be it from the attention from the staff, they were great, pleasant and attentive.
.. but only when you had their attention, and gaining it was at time tiresome.
We ordered a couple of bottles of wine for the table and they chose to place them in coolers, which is fine, but then placed the buckets 8 foot from the table, when my guests wanted a top up we struggled to get the attention we required, I'm sure they would have done very well out of the bar bill if we had only been able to reach the bottles.
However, the building is amazing and has some history to it, the grounds are very well kept and there are some great walks to be had in the woods also, but it can be a bit muddy at times so don't forget to bring the right footwear.
Parking was plentiful on our visit but they do weddings here so that might not always be the case, and there's limited public transport to this venue.

The food was excellent. Think the staff needed a little more desire to give their clients a top class service. The ambience of the Gilbert Restaurant is perfect.

We had our wedding here in August in the Drawing Room. It was a perfect day in every way and this is thanks to the hard work of Demelza. Nothing was too much trouble for her. She went out of our way to make sure our special day was just right. Her communication and helpfulness in the lead up to our wedding could not have been better. Richard was also brilliant on the day. The whole day was faultless – food, drinks, grounds, staff and ambience. The hotel is really beautiful with the most stunning grounds and the Sullivan honeymoon suite is so grand. We had a relatively small wedding of 35 people so we booked the smaller room. Only thing to mention is that you can’t play the music that loud at all in the Drawing Room, you have to book the main room if you want this, but we did know this prior to the big day so wasn’t a major issue. Thanks to everyone for making our day so very special. More...

Really clean and beautiful rooms. We had a balcony attached to our room which had a stunning view. There are lots of grounds for you to walk through. The only thing I'd mention is that at breakfast, there were no vegetarian options and absolutely no milk alternatives (e.g. soya, almond, etc.) In a country where a LOT of people are lactose intolerant, there should definitely be alternatives offered.

Last night I was in the shower and the shower head fell off the wall and dropped on my foot, called down to reception just to let them know so they fix the shower. A lovely lady came and she moved us rooms and was upgraded to a amazing king suite with a jacuzzi bath and a garden plus free breakfast and gave us back our money. I didn't expect all of that it was so lovely of them. I definitely recommend this hotel the staff, rooms and cleanness is amazing. More...

Had a look for a wedding! The gardens are lovely and the building is set inside Forrest. Wedding room was a bit small but apart from that it was a beautiful setting.

We had our wedding here and I would definitely recommend it. Such a beautiful place. The manager, Richard, was on hand to make sure everything went smoothly and he was brilliant. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because it was previously agreed that a small simple plain sponge cake would be made with the rest of the cream tea and cakes that we'd paid for - for some elderly relatives of mine. This was later refused by the chef and it was a pity as my elderly relatives didn't like the other food. I thought the food was nice though. Overall, we had a great time here. More...
