The Legacy Farnham Hogs Back Hotel Review
The Legacy Farnham
Hog’s Back Hotel
Reviewed by Nicola Clift
Recently my husband and I were invited to review The Legacy Farnham Hog’s Back Hotel. Situated just off the A31 with easy access to the A3, M3 and M25 it is a perfect location for guests travelling to a variety of different locations such as Thorpe Park, Farnham Castle, Waverly Abbey and Go Ape Tree Top Adventure. Also only 30 minutes away from Heathrow Airport could make a perfect pre travelling locality.
We arrived in the early evening and checked in quickly and easily. The receptionist was friendly and polite and directed us to our room promptly. The reception area was nicely decorated and welcoming with advertisements for upcoming events such as Mother’s Day.
Our room was large with a double bed and a small sofa, it was decorated in typical hotel style but felt comfortable and not overly fancy. The window overlooked the lovely gardens and beautiful panoramic views of the countryside. The amenities in the room were plenteous including an iron and ironing board, tea and coffee making facilities, a very powerful hairdryer, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and vanity kit. In all the room has everything you would need for a very comfortable stay without having to take too much with you.
The bed was comfortable and there were extra pillows and blankets should you need them. The towels were soft and large and plenty of them for 2 guests.
We headed down for dinner and were surprised to find it very quiet. We were seated immediately and handed 2 menus to choose from. The choice was plentiful and reasonably priced for hotel prices. There were vegetarian options, pizza and pasta, winter warmers and a ‘from the grill’ option.
We ordered and were made aware the chicken dish I had opted for would be at least 30 minutes. The atmosphere in the restaurant was peaceful and calming and the waiter nearby often asking if he could provide anything further.
When our meals were served they looked delicious, beautifully presented and nicely sized. The waiter once again was close by asking if everything was ok and if we required anything else.
The service in the restaurant was outstanding. We were served promptly, plates were cleared as soon as we had finished and the waiter couldn’t be more helpful.
The following day we took a walk around the grounds and visited the on-site leisure facilities. Not only is there a pool and sauna there is also a gym with facilities including 3 treadmills, 2 rowing machines, 2 cross trainers, 2 steppers, free weights and fixed weight machines.
There is also an on-site beauty spa offering treatments such as massages, facials, manicures, pedicures and reflexology. These are all offered at reasonable prices and can seemingly be booked at the last minute if you should decide.
We didn’t take advantage but the hotel offers a 24 hour room service serving cuisine such as Chicken Tikka Masala, Prawn Cocktails, Beef Burgers Sandwiches and Salads, again all reasonably priced.
In all The Legacy Farnham Hog’s Back Hotel is a lovely hotel with fantastic amenities and facilities. We stayed as a couple but would be more than happy to travel here as a family and saw many others doing so.
Rating: 4/5
