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!

Very disappointed

From the moment I walked in as solo traveller I felt very uncomfortable. I had to push my way through a crowded bar to find someone to speak to re my reservation. I did not feel welcomed as the ladies were so busy serving food. I had to work back through the bar with my luggage and then find a way to get my large suitcase up a narrow staircase. A local guy offered help thankfully. My room was chilly, the radiator hardly giving out any heat. I could not figure out how to get any channels on the TV, I called reception 3 times and dropped into voicemail, feeling really unsupported and not valued. The whole night I had the continuous rubble of machinery right next to the wall which gave a disruptive nights sleep, even with earbuds I could feel the rubble. I felt aggrieved after seeing the score this venue has… not my type at all!
