The Bellhouse, Beaconsfield

Ask not for whom the Bellhouse tolls

Advantages: It's not in Slough
Disadvantages: It's a dreary dull hotel that's past its best

and a 'washed-with-socks-bra'. You can't get the image back again when it's blown. So what does that have to do with the Bellhouse in Beaconsfield? The hotel is quite simply trying too hard and forgetting that all its undies took a spin with the black socks. There's a swanky pool, quite a nice looking restaurant but when you go to the lift, there's a big lump of the wood veneer hanging off the facia. And when you walk along the really very long corridors in search of your room, the carpets are dreary, grubby and worn and the lights are too dim. The staircases look like something from my old secondary school - dated and dreary. The view of the grass at the back is spoilt by some ugly big shipping containers. There are some nice touches like swanky sinks in the bathrooms but in places it's just so shabby that no amount of that clever stuff that ...

Review of Beaconscot Model Village, Beaconsfield

thanks harvester

Advantages: very clean. nice atmosphere. excellent service. good food.....
Disadvantages: none

i eat at harvester restaurants on a regular basis. i do eat at different ones but the Kings Head in Beaconsfield is my local. With the early bird special offer (third off meals throughout the day) up until 6.30pm is a great excuse to meet friends for lunch. when arriving here, immediatly we are greeted by a friendly face to take you to a table. a drinks order is taken, drinks arrive quickly and we have an option of nibbling on side orders while browsing the menu which i think is great due to the menu having a wide variety of meals. my favourite has got to be the harvester steak diane. the steaks are cooked to perfection and the meal overall is very well presented. unlimited trips to the salad cart make the meal complete. the atmosphere is very friendly and laid back. Cleanliness of the place is outstanding. i would recommend eating here ...
