What can you say about a hotel where they can provide service on a large scale - wedding reception - and still keep a very personal touch as well. We stayed at Taplow House for the weekend of our son's and his lovely wife Penny's wedding breakfast and couldnt have beem made more comfortable and cared for. We anticpated the... more

We were recomended Taplow House Hotel by some freinds and were not disapointed. I was a bit concerned of a couple of recent reviews regarding the decour and the cleanliness however these were completely unfounded - I think they have confused this hotel with another as by the looks of it the hotel has recently been refurbished to a very... more

When we arrived the booking in service was poor as there was only 1 person on reception, eventually we were given our room key and taken up 4 flights of stairs, on each level the decor deterioreted through dark and tatty corridors, rooms were still being cleaned at 3 in the afternoon.

I just wanted to say that our stay at Taplow house for a friends wedding in July 2009 was really good. The staff made the stay really comfortable and enjoyable. The name of the person on reception was Ana, she was especially kind, fun and accommodating. The wedding reception went so smoothly, the staff really knew what they were doing.... more

The staff keep their upper lips tense in the British way and really do try their best, but are fighting a losing battle. Several people stood out, including Kimberly and Ewa, although none of the staff was even average or below. The facility, though, has seen better days pass into history. Many of the rooms are tiny and make it... more
