Got a 12pm flight on Sunday, was thinking of a hotel the night before to make a leisurely and fun start to our Christmas break. There’s a Novotel nearby apparently which is cheap and kid friendly supposedly, but there’s also the Village in Farnborough which I know and has good treat potential like Starbucks in the lobby, gym, hot-tub etc and the beds are pretty nice.

So I want somewhere:

1) within 30 mins of Heathrow
2) kid friendly, the more fun stuff the better
3) good beds
4) less than £120

I stay in the yotel in terminal 4.

We use the Raddisson Edwardian near Hethrow.

Room and 14 days parking comes in under your budget.

I end up in some cheap shit hole called the Jurys Inn, mainly because it’s a walk from the Hatton Cross tube.

It’s a bed and a shuttle at O’Christ Hundred hours and less than 60 quid..

I should add.. I ‘kin hate Heathrow.

You could try the Runnymede

If you’re short of things to do one evening I could point you to some fine pubs too.

Also used the Jury’s Inn – to be honest, thought it was fine for the price.

Might be worth trying the Hilton at T4 and see what their prices are?

hilton T5 has just opened. Holiday inn T5 in Colnbrook has also just been expanded. i’m in the US sunday, or id have said come and play in Swinley first… london motor museum in hayes is close by for fun.

stayed in the Crowne plazza , and kids ate free in the evening , nice pool . and there is a play room .

Drive around the corner from the Village hotel to the Aviator…. much nicer. Not Particularly child friendly though.

Crowne-Plaza in Marlow is quite nice… or there’s always Stoke park 😀

Might I suggest looking in town? 15 minutes on the Express up to LHR….
