Hand and Spear

The accommodation provides well-presented, spacious rooms with comfortable amenities. Guests appreciate the friendly staff and convenient location near Weybridge Station. They enjoy a fantastic, locally-sourced breakfast.

I was surprised to find the hotel really as near to the train station as I had expected – it all felt wonderfully safe for me as a single traveller. The staff were extremely friendly without exception, everyone always had a smile for me and was full of kindness and warm-hearted humour. The room was spacious and bright, and equipped with lots of very tasty tea and an honesty bar with lots of lovely bits and pieces for the occasional sweet or savoury nibble. Even the little booklet with information about the hotel and things to see and do in the area was fun to read. The hotel is full of character, some places modern, some as if time had stood still and you were transported to cosier times. The staircase was wonderfully creaky and comfortably carpeted, the wallpaper rich, and the rooms easy to get to and safe. The curtains really darkened the room 100%, and the bed was equipped with plenty of cushions – great for reading in bed, sleeping and waking up relaxed! When I opened the curtains, the sunlight poured through the large window wall, and it was all just heavenly. The breakfast times were generous, from very early until 11 o’clock. The choice was wide, and I thoroughly enjoyed everything at my own table, with plenty of space to start the day at my own pace. Dinner in the pub was very tasty and plentiful, the prices all reasonable for both food and drinks, and I was welcomed very warmly. The pub was always well visited in the evenings and full of laughter and conversation, which I enjoyed from my single table. I always found just the right amount of entertainment or quiet, whatever I wished for. Help, if needed, was always near, and there was always a good, lighthearted spirit to feel throughout. This hotel isn’t for those who expect flawless polish or shiny perfection, but for those who love a place with soul. I would highly recommend this warm-hearted hotel. Was genuinely a bit sad I had to go.

An excellent overnight stay at the Hand and Spear. The welcome was warm and friendly, the room was spacious and tastefully presented, everywhere was clean and fresh. The bar area is divided into areas representing the original use of the original house which gives it interest and character. The Sunday dinner was absolutely yummy and just what we wanted.
