Great quaint spot close to Heathrow. We stayed in the apartment, which was perfect for us and our 3 kids and we had a lovely breakfast at the restaurant! Check-in was easy, the staff were exceptional!

I needed a convenient overnight stay near Heathrow and really didn’t fancy spending it with one of the big hotel chains so we tried the Ostrich. Typical old pub, lots of character and history. Car park had plenty of parking space (remember to enter car registration on arrival ). Room was very comfortable with all we required. Staff were friendly and couldn’t help enough. For the evening we booked a slot in the bar for dinner which a typical pub menu and good value for money. We left early the following day so didn’t have time to sample the breakfast at extra cost. You may ask why not 5 stars Excellent on everything. Well you need to understand a very old inn has very narrow stairs, lots of tight turns, narrow corridors, doors to negotiate when carrying your holiday (full to the limit) suitcases from the carpark to your bedroom, especially when you are in your senior years. Definitely a challenge but we made it and it gave us a workout for free. Despite the later would definitely use again. Well done.

This is a hidden gem, especially if you are fly in/out of Heathrow airport. The rooms are beautiful with some quirkiness. The pub food is excellent, especially the breakfast.

Say at the Ostrich

Very convenient for Heathrow Airport. Good quality evening meal at a reasonable price. Very historic building, apparently first built in 1107!

We only had one night in London on our way back to Nashville, and staying at The Ostrich Inn in Slough was absolutely the best choice we could have made! From the moment we walked in, we were transported back in time—this place has been standing since 1106, and you can feel the history in every creaky floorboard and flickering candle. The atmosphere? Incredible. The ghost stories? Thrilling. And the service? Absolutely top-notch! We had a delicious dinner that made us wish we were staying longer, and the breakfast the next morning was just as fantastic—exactly what we needed before heading to the airport. Whether you come for the history, the food, or the spirits (both kinds!), The Ostrich Inn delivers a truly memorable experience. We’ll be talking about our stay here for years to come! Until next time... if the ghosts don’t get us first!

The third time we have stayed here. An excellent location for getting to Heathrow, yet a historic building in a local village. Food and real ale selections are normally good, although there have not been specials on the menu the last two times we stayed and on this stay, there was only one real ale, which was a special winter ale and did not appeal.

Amazing historic hotel with excellent restaurant

We always stay here the night before a flight from Heathrow. Amazing old hotel with a great history. Has been restored to a high standard but retaining it's old character. Staff always friendly. Superb bar and restaurant. Only a few minutes from T5

Lovely weekend getaway

The room was very cosy for our couples weekend get away! We got a bit cold but we were kindly given a portable radiator and soon we were very toasty. It was also interesting learning the history of the place as this is my third time staying at the Ostrich - but it made it all the more fun! It was also nice to see the exterior Christmas lights still up. I’ve always regarded this inn my happy place - thank you!
