Best Western Plough  Harrow Hotel
3.7/599 Reviews
The staff were friendly and helpful during our stay. The rooms was very spacious but the decor was very out dated. Some minor repairs were needed throughout (shower curtain was loose). The room was very warm but there was no windows that could be opened. Had to pay £9 PP upon arrival for breakfast. If had known what i know now i wouldn’t have bothered. The breakfast was very poor. All of the cooked breakfast was kept in a warmer but was tasteless - bacon over cooked and dry, tinned Mushrooms 🤢, black pudding was burnt, eggs were like rubber. Overall very disappointing. The toast was ok although the toaster took about 20 minutes to toast the bread.
