Cocked Hat Hotel by Greene Kings Inns

Old tired hotel. Reception is in the Pub / restaurant next door.

Booked as it offered a family accommodation for 5. Unfortunately it was a Saturday night so there was a function downstairs. This meant loud music (with the accommodation literally bouncing) until 11:35pm which made it impossible for the children of 13/11/2 to sleep. We wasn’t aware of this beforehand as we would not have deemed it suitable for our family to sleep at any sort of reasonable hour. Unfortunately the rooms were clearly not hoovered before our arrival. For example, there was significant amount of carrots chunks on the bedroom floor and behind the door in clear view. Staff were fantastic in the restaurant during the morning breakfast however - very friendly and empathetic.

Everything was fine based on the very reasonable room rate and including excellent breakfast. However the communal areas of the hotel, including staircase needed a good clean and an hour's painting touch-up.

Check in is at the pub, which is a bit of a pain carrying luggage and taking children there. I didnt see signs for check in being there, someone outside told me. Their was a function on, which we werent informed about. They were noisy and awake past midnight. The room.was okay. One remote for both tvs, which was annoying. The shower had mould all along the sillicone, it did look like someone had tried to clean it. There was a socket with no cover on, so just some wires coming out. My duvet cover had big holes along the seems. Overall the rooms was quite musty and had not been cleaned well. Also, their gas had stopped working, so only cokd breakfast available. We went to the Premier inn across the way which was cheaper for us as a family and we had hot food! The staff at the premier inn were so friendly, wish we had stayed there! If you're on a tight budget then this accommodation is fine.

Room was pretty dated but clean, bath filled up when showering and did not drain properly. The heating did not work very well and despite asking twice it remained very cold in the room

It was great thanks

Second time staying here while visiting family. Have booked another stay for next month too.

Really run down - needs a good refurb. Carpet stained, paintwork chipped & dirty, bathroom floor stained.

Shower was broken. Kettle was broken.

Nice hotel room, cosy and well kept.

Room and beds very tidy. Basin not clean and shower not working

I want to start by saying the staff are excellent. But the property is tired, very tired. Stained carpets, scuffed walls, poor lighting etc. The shower room was not heated and felt damp. Mold in the shower, dirty and damaged silicon seals. One double outlet under the table for TV, kettle, lamp and my laptop charger. Very strange unpleasant smell in the hotel lobby area. Check the location. The name "Binley Wood" and the photos don't show that you are a few metres from the very busy A46 flyover. Busy all night.

The staff make it as property is very tired now

Good

The price of the rooms were really a good price by using the app on my phone with discount. Fully recommend using this site for bookings A group of use had booked in for the weekend as we had been Judging horses at Onley Equestrian for The National championship concours D’Elegance. Staff and owner so welcoming very flexible moving sitting time for dinner. Kindly, even made use all bacon sandwiches to take with use in the morning as we had an early start. Food out standing, service such comfortable room, lovely sitting out in the sun to have drinks in the garden. Completely fully recommended this is my 2nd visit and I had recommended the society to go.

It was an okay stay. Location was convenient and I liked the idea of pub+hotel - easy for dining and drinking isn't it? However, the hotel rooms honestly need a bit of refurbishing and improvement on cleaniness. Shower faciltiies were a bit old and didn't function quite properly and stains were everywhere to be seen. But other than that price is okay.

Great place for a family get together with out of town guests.

Perfectly good place to stay whilst on business in the area. Very close to plenty of local shops and services. The public areas of the hotel are getting a bit worn and tired, but my room was clean and quiet - good bonus as near to dual carriageway. The bathroom was in need of some maintenance as the dreaded black mould was appearing around the bath/shower, but overall OK. Certainly a lot better than some of the other hotels in the area at this price point.

Excellent value for money but the property is tired and in need of a refurb and could be cleaner. Food options at the pub next door are excellent and reasonably priced - breakfast especially

Very convenient and close to the highway.
