We like this hotel and have stayed many times before and have future bookings. However, our one gripe is that the pillows are awful. They are thin and hard and very uncomfortable, like sleeping on concrete. These need to be changed for something more comfortable otherwise we might have to reconsider our future stays.

Really nice hotel. Stayed for a wedding at Crondon Park, only 20 minute walk back. Clean, nice rooms, good breakfast - exactly what we needed. Stayed at Greenwoods Spa the night before, and the rooms here were much nicer in our opinion. They allow you to collect keys from 11:30am, but not use room yet, which is definitely very helpful if you are going to a wedding nearby.

We always return to Stock when visiting friends in the area as The Village was our home for 12 years! We have eaten and drank at The Harvard many many times and never been disappointed! Always good to return, reminisce and see the Village develop.
