We stayed at the Oakwood for 3 nights waiting for flights to resume out of Heathrow. The staff were extremely personable and helpful. They were forthcoming on information about getting around without paying an arm and a leg: taking local taxis to Heathrow (7 GBP), taking the train into town (5-min. walk then 25 min to Paddington), they had guide books, advice etc. The location is very handy; it's next to a business district with grocery stores, pharmacy, PO, restaurants, etc.; a real community. We were happy not to be held hostage to airport services and inflated prices. We had an "premium twin ensuite" with a trundle bed for our son, who unfortunately was sick and didn't see much more than the inside of the room, but he was satisfied, and so were his parents. Given that hotel rooms in London are notoriously small, we were very satisfied with the size of this one, and the bathroom and shower were great. Wireless internet is available for a fee - this was great as I was checking flights a lot and could do e-mail, though the connection speed was irregular. Breakfast was hearty. It felt like home. We would definitely stay there again.

It's difficult to believe that reasonably priced accommodation and secure parking during your holiday can be found so conveniently close(less than 10 min.) to Heathrow Airport without unnecessary lavish and expensive extras provided by most hotels, but Oakwood Guest House is exactly that. If you are looking for an overnight stay with value for money this will really take some beating.

Patricia, and her team were so friendly and helpful both before arrival and during our recent stay, going to great lengths to ensure our comfort, needs and peace of mind for transfer to/from the airport. I even received a txt. message from her on arrival back at H.Row providing tel. no. for LHR taxis, who also offer a very reliable service.

The enchanting little twin room my wife and I shared was well decorated, very clean including modern toilet/shower faclities, comfortable not cramped, warm and quiet contributing to a good nights sleep.

A full breakfast was included which was wholesome, we were spoilt for choice and service was quick, efficient and cheerful.

The surrounding area is pleasant enough with most facilities within easy reach, including pubs, restaurants etc. and we found no problem in finding somewhere to eat.

This is not our first visit to Oakwood and hopefully, when considering future flights from Heathrow, it will not be the last and I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Stayed here for one night to attend a family get together. can,t fault it. We were beautifully taken care of by our hostess Patricia and her sidekick Tracey. rooms were comfy warm and clean, Breakfast was lovely and we all enjoyed the whole experiance,(7 of us altogether) We hope to be going back soon as now we have found this little gem(, just 25 mins by train to London Hopefully will be able to persuede hubby dear to take me to the theatre!

The rooms were small and cold, only a little portable heater. Towels were not changed in the 3 days we were here. The breakfast was served in an untied dining room, crumbs and cups from the previous person. There is a good Indian restaurant and a good Chinese further up the road.
