The Dog and Badger

Our second visit to the same room to celebrate my 40th birthday! We haven't been for 5 years and decided to visit again as we loved it last time! The room we had is lovely, particularly the bathroom which is very relaxing with the coloured lighting. We couldn't get the towel rail to work which was slightly annoying as wanted to dry some jeans! We did have dinner on the evening we stayed which was OK.. long wait even though not massively busy. My meal was delicious... partner was disappointed with steak as it wasn't cooked how he asked.. possoble communication when taking the order to kitchen...however it was replaced but was a bit inconvenient when one person has to wait while the other is eating! Paid the bill and the change was wrong -not by a lot but still these little details could be brushed up on!

From the history we learnt on arrival until we left it was first class. The food is worthy of a Michelin Star rating.I had a cocktail made especially for me called "Jersey". It was certainly value for money. The rooms were excellent very high tech with mood lighting an amazing bath. Very clean, lots of heating. Very high linen count bed clothes. The assistant manager was amazing so kind, helpful, knowledgable and a great asset. The whole building was stunning. It was finished to a high standard. Dogs being allowed is a real help when I return. Safe car park. It was 200% perfect.

We arrived and was net by a very nice young man who showed us to our very unique room, his knowledge of the properties was extensive and interesting, he found me a mirror very quickly so I could do my hair sitting down which was amazing The breakfast was an experience, it was only the second day of doing this service and to be very honest the food was exceptional but the service was awful We waiting ages and had to get a young ladies attention to order coffee and told her there was only 1 croissant on the buffet part and it stated that way U fortunately she did not speak English very well and it all went a bit wry Great place to stay but improvements needed for breakfast service as not a cheap extra

Came to the D&B for lunch on a spur of the moment visit, as my partner I were in the area visiting my family. Was greeted by Ryan like a long lost friend, warm and polite as always. It's been a few months since our last visit, so we were very pleased and surprised he remembered us. We had the D&B classic burger and the cajun chicken burger, both burgers and chips cooked to perfect the chef on duty Andrè. This lad hasn't cooked a meal that we haven't liked yet, truly a credit to his profession and the D&B. The only gripe I had with the visit was that on this occasion since our last visit, is that they had removed the onion rings that came with the meals. A small little thing but not a big issue. Good food, great treatment by the very polite and knowledgeable Ryan. Look forward to our next visit.

I haven't been to the Dog & Badger for a few years, but with my son & his wife out for the weekend, suggested a walk and a pub lunch. Booked online, but got there an hour early to do a walk by the Thames. Out of courtesy told the staff that I had paked in their car park and was going to do a walk,a nd we may be a bit late for lunch. Excelent food, and service, with Rebellion and Sambrook beer + a selecion of lagers and cider. Very friendly staff. If in the area definately worth a visit.

Having just stayed at the Dog and Badger for 2 nights in the dog friendly Juniper room. I can not find one negative point about the stay. Service, room, complimentary breakfast and food in the restaurant were all superb. Very dog friendly will definitely stay again

Visited with my partner. I had the chicken burger and my partner had the beefburger. The food was cooked to perfection by the new chef, the chicken was succulent while my partner said it was the best burger he had had in a long time. The onion rings were freshly hand made and filling and well presented. Would highly recommend the dog and badger and will be visiting again. Serviced by Ryan. He was friendly and polite, very welcoming. Thank you

This accomodation did not live up to its reputation. The staff were polite. The room was large and well appointed, although the ceiling and doorways are low. Obviously lots of money spent on refurbishment and electronic mood lighting. Not enough money spent on cleaning staff or breakfast supplies. We didn't even get a croissant and had to go elsewhere for breakfast. No one on site overnight and no contact number in case of problems. Overall very disappointed. This wonderful location needs a bit more attention to detail if it is going to represent value for money.

Great find and highly recommended. The staff were all exceptionaly pleasant and helpful. Rooms are beautifully appointed, the design of the bar very unusual but works very well. Although they don't offer a full English breakfast, the continental is substantial with hot fresh croissants every day. The dining room is both cozy and effective with a good choice.
