  I found this place whilst surfing for something a little less sterile in the Heathrow airport area that  we could stay at and still make an early flight without hitting the motorways.. It turns out to be the 3rd oldest Inn in the UK, Dick Turpin's old stomping ground and likely the site and reason (60 people murdered here) for the Sweeney Todd stories so there's plenty of history to be lapped up.
  
  Staff were accommodating, warm and friendly, room was just fine and checked all the needed boxes.
  
  Food in the Marin was excellent :- Wifey had potted crab for lunch and scampi for dinner whilst I went scampi and a sausage sandwich of which they were all total fan favorites.
  
  Breakfast was sadly a tad disappointing with the promise of bubble'n'squeak, -  we got an interpretation of what was traditional embedded in my head of what I would describe as a poached egg on a bland mash potato and partially cooked Kale sandwich... Not very appetizing and definitely fell short of the food we had for lunch and dinner.
  
  Setting this small hiccup aside, I would highly recommend this place, will definitely point people here to stay rather than one of the airport hotels and we certainly plan on using this fine establishment each time we have a planned stay in the area....
  
  Thank you

  Fascinating centuries-old building; super-quiet, clean room; spacious bathroom; very friendly, informative, helpful staff; truly excellent maid service; delicious, abundant complimentary breakfast (selected from restaurant menu). Highly recommended!

  Cool pub to check out.  It's the third oldest pub in England at 900 plus years old.  Since I was Last here, about a year ago, they did some reno and updated the place.  The service is good and the beer is kind of warm.  I had the crab pate and it was OK - tasted a bit like tuna, but could be the texture.  The fish and chips looked great but was lacking seasoning, however the batter was crispy and the mushy peas was spot on.  I did try to sticky toffee pudding and it was great, I'm glad I didn't eat all of the fish and saved room.....not that it's a bucket list item, but 900years is pretty damn old.....

  Had an evening meal and stayed overnight at the Ostrich Inn before flying out from Heathrow, it's an ideal location. The room we had was lovely, clean, comfortable, had everything we needed. Plenty of parking, free WiFi. The steak meal we had was delicious. We were leaving early before breakfast would be served the following morning and were given a breakfast bar & porridge pot as an alternative.
