Lovely Weekend away

We were met by Leah at reception. What a lovely happy warm welcome. Beautiful smile. The room was nice. Tea/coffee making facilities. Ensuite shower room. We had an amazing and very yummy 5 course Valentines dinner. Christina, our waitress was fantastic. Happy and friendly and made us smile with her happy energy. The hotel is well placed, nice and close to local shops and pubs. A nice hiking route around the Wey, starting just across the road. We will be back.

Two night stay

Me, my wife and our dog had a two night stay at the BQA in Thornhill at the end of January. We had a wonderful time. On arrival we were greeted by Ralph who offered us the choice of two different rooms. We chose room 11 at the rear of the hotel where there was parking right outside our door. It also made it easier to take our dog walkies. We had dinner in the restaurant both nights. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. The £50 voucher towards our meal on the first night helped towards the overall cost. The staff were helpful and friendly to us and our dog. This made our stay very relaxing, and we would love to return in the future. Our room was lovely and clean. Spacious room and bathroom, with clean towels and coffee and teas available. Thanks again to Ralph and his team for making our stay so welcoming and relaxing.

Lovely place

The hotel was amazing. The breakfast was perfect. Buffet help yourself, plus you could order special things cooked to order. Room was large and we had a lovely Seaview. (Once we had complained about the first room we were put in.) Lovely areas around the bar to sit and have a drink.

A great gift for Fawlty fans!

From start to finish , the experience was great. The actors were very very good, the improvisation with us diners plus scripted performance was excellent - so funny ! Food was fine - all tasty and served hot which given we were in Fawlty territory was a bonus !! If you are a fan of FT - go ! You wont be disappointed.
