Boat House Restaurant at The Bridge Lodge in Runnymede

Stayed for 3 nights with a young family. Generaly very good. Had an adjoining room which was helpful, well fitted and clean. Arrived on a Sunday afternoon, so the only option was an all day buffet for dinner. Which at £38 for an adult and £19 for a child was pricy. Especially for a 6 year old.We enjoyed a variety of things, though I'm not a fan. Encourages over eating and a lot of waste. Plus there was a 10% service charge, strange to include this as it's self service. Found out after we could have used the room service menu. Which is quite extensive. We used this another night for 3 pizzas and chips. Though the pizzas where quite small at about 10inch, for a £18 margarita.Pool and spa was good. Nice position next to the river. Good for long walks.

Had a cream tea excellent service they looked after my wife's allergies nothing was to much trouble. We were seated by a window looking over the river just an excellent view. Good value for the money plus no rush so an ideal way to relax. No room review as we did not stay as we are local to the hotel. We will go back but be advised you need to book.

My partner and I stayed here for a few days last week. Our stay at the Runnymede was above and beyond expectations. Staff are incredible and make you feel really welcomed. The rooms are lovely and sweet with a comfy bed. The location is beautiful with lots of local attractions and activities provided by the hotel. The Runnymede does a wonderful job at making you feel comfortable and relaxed. The spa facilities are brilliant and the food is wonderful as well. You can really see how much pride they have in running such a great hotel. Thank you so much for having us.Highly recommend the Sunday roasts! They are outstanding. Best roast I have ever had.

Overall genuinely the nicest hotel I’ve ever stayed at before! Great service, beautiful location, delicious food, friendly staff. The gym and pool facilities are really good too. You can tell how much pride the hotel takes over all sides of the business. LOVELY STAY! would definitely recommend! (plus the best Sunday roast dinner we’ve ever eaten in our life)

Champagne afternoon tea, great friendly, professional and attentive staff!! Made the experience even better. Vegan afternoon tea, great sandwich selection, no dry scones and nice cakes. All in all, value for money lovely afternoon, not rushed was able to stay from 2.30 until 5pm. Recommend!

“Hotel & Spa” should be taken with a big pinch of salt. This is a very family-focussed hotel, and it should be advertised as such. The “spa” area was a glorified kids pool for most of the day - there was nothing on the website that indicated that the “award winning spa facilities” would be packed with children until 6pm (open for another two hours but mostly over the available dinner times….). Very misleading.The restaurant was similarly heaving and loud. It was an extremely expensive trip to what is not dissimilar to a leisure centre. The photos and content on the website make it look much more adult-focussed, clearly encouraging trips for friends or couples, which is unfairly misleading.We are pretty disappointed and I would urge anyone who isn’t interested in a kids’ getaway to reconsider. This should have been made clear, and it was not. I hope my review will help warn anyone looking for a spa weekend.Having said that - the food was excellent, and our room was pleasant and quiet. Perhaps it is more relaxing midweek, but I would keep the loudness and busyness strongly in mind if this is not what you are after, particularly given the description on the website.

Where do I begin, booked the Christmas package and have had a wonderful stay from Christmas Eve through to Boxing Day!!! The room was lovely, the food was consistently exquisite (a particularly highlight was the poached salmon).And the staff, all incredibly friendly, attentive and helped make the stay even better. Anna and Davey particularly stood out, regularly engaging in conversation with us while ensuring we were always well looked after, but every staff member we spoke to across the weekend was just brilliant!!!The hotel is just stunning. Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. This was my first stay but will no way be my last. Thanks to all the wonderful staff for your hard work in making this a wonderful Christmas for all your guests!!!

Lovely venue. Delightful staff especially charming Ed. Attentive.Plush seating.Good menu. Enjoyed smoked salmon sandwich. Delicious filling. Thought bread could have been a little fresher. Crusts seemed a bit tough. However certainly worth a visit or two.

Stayed here in December 2021 for a few days over Christmas, with every aspect of our visit exceptional. The hotel's facilities and food quality all out of this world fantastic. But what really stood out was the staff. Super helpful at all times and always smiling, including with each other. Just awesome. Well done to the amazing Runnymeade team, can't wait to return!

I cannot fault our time there. A wonderful stay at the Runnymede. Warm welcome from the check in staff.. all our questions answered as we were there as part of a large function. Information given that we didn't need to ask for. Love the bar near reception..James served us and stood out. Excellent customer service. Had a standard double room. It was spotless. Bigger than expected with large bathroom. Huge bed..incredibly comfortable. Food at the function was fabulous. Breakfast had a wide selection and good quality. Huge thank you to all the lovely staff.
