I found this property when searching for a place near Heathrow during a layover. I booked on the fly and was greeted warmly upon checking in. Our host was very helpful and informative. We stayed in the two attic rooms, which each slept 3 people. They were comfortable and accommodating for the overnight stay we needed. There are several dining options within a few steps of the place. We picked the pub, which may be the only one in England that just serves Greek food. It was tasty and the staff was very friendly. Overall, this B&B is a good value for those needing a 1 night stay!

The room was not up to par very dusty to the point of coughing. The neighborhood felt unsafe we were warnedabout the propertyon arrival by neighbors. The entrance to the property was even dusty. Limited to no toiletries. Bathroom was not clean. The bedding was dusty and did not seem clean-We arrivedto bug wings on the pillows. Overall disappointed stay for the price we paid. We need a refund. Wouldn't ever stay here again.

You are acting in bad faith, writing intentional untruths with false information and abusing the review system in a transparent attempt to get a refund. *I personally looked over the room before you arrived and I know you've written total untruths here: the room was not dusty at all; there were plenty of toiletries including hand soap in the sink; shower gel, shampoo and conditioner in the shower (it's all still in there!); the bathroom was absolutely clean; the bedding was not at all dusty and there were no bug wings on any of the bedding - I saw the linen myself before you arrived.*Your transparency is seen in your mention of the price paid and request for the refund. We priced ourselves entirely in the line with the market and the demand was very high that night, so prices went up everywhere.Blame market forces if you want, but don't make up untruths and write a false review on a small independent operator because of it.* You arrived too late to be speaking to 'neighbours', as we had to send you a late arrival email instructions.You mentioned no issues when we spoke to you the next morning.*You should remove these untruths and stop acting in bad faith towards a small, family-run company that made an effort on your behalf on arrival and departure.*This review is entirely full of utterly false misrepresentations motivated by the line 'We need a refund'. Shame.

Dear Pavlo,Thanks for your review. We are in fact a 6 minute walk from West Drayton overland train station, on the Elizabeth Line which now gets to Bond Street in about half an hour and the West End/Tottenham Ct Rd a few minute's longer. It also goes direct to Liverpool Street.So we now have fast and easy access to central London.

Hi Precious,thanks for reviewing us. As you say, we are just 6 minutes' walk from the Elizabeth Line station at West Drayton, helpfully in London Underground Zone 6 so you can travel into London on the price of the old One Day Travelcard, just using your contactless card on entry to the station.

Dear Walayn,thanks for your review.

Below average
This B & B was not very clean. The bathroom sink area looked like it hadn’t been cleaned between guests. There was a blob of toothpaste on the faucet and the glass in the bathroom had toothpaste all over it. The electric water kettle had a buildup of scale on it like I have never seen before. I tried to scrub it but I couldn’t get it clean. The breakfast was an English breakfast and it was tasty. I feel bad giving this place a bad review because the folks running it were very nice. They need a different cleaning person perhaps.

Hi, we are sorry to read of these oversights on cleaning. This is something we've tried to address since. All kettles in hotels do get a build up of limescale as they get so much use, it really isn't any problem or risk to you - it's just due to the lime mineral in hard water in the South of England, which I know doesn't happen in the North, or other countries with soft water.
