Relaxed in Staines-upon-Thames

“Very warm welcome at this charming house. Bed and Breakfast is a bit misleading. Breakfast was a couple of biscuits and tea or coffee in the room. No problem for us - we never have breakfast! Lovely comfortable bed and perfectly situated for Heathrow terminal 5 (7mins in the car). Paul, can I recommend that you leave the fridge door open when not in use? It didn't smell too nice from being closed! Really enjoyed playing your piano! Keep practicing! We'll definitely use your establishment again!”

“One of the few takeaways that satisfies my hunger for good food on the go, best falafel in Staines town and surrounding areas by far. The owner/head chef is a really nice guy and makes some really good traditional Lebanese/Syrian food! Well worth a visit, its not your average kebab house. 10/10”

“Lovely community space. I have a local book club and they allowed us to do our meet-up there. The staff is lovely and very welcoming as well. All our members loved the place and will repeat. They had an option of vegan and gluten-free cake and dairy free milk which was a bonus. Haven’t tried the food but may do soon.”

“I've been coming here since I moved to the area in September and there is nowhere else I use now for my lash lifts. I have very straight thick lashes and the ladies at strands are the first to be able to give me a lash lift that stays with me for at least 4 weeks without my lashes falling out. They are so warm and welcoming and I feel so comfortable in their salon. I had my first pedicure from them today and it was incredible, they took such care and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. They are well priced and have never failed to give me a 10/10 treatment and service. Very happily recommend them to anybody”

“My partner had his hair done here for the first time, compared to where he has been previously, he said this place is great. They clean their blades and it’s very clean inside. A great atmosphere too, everyone is really friendly. His hair looks great, really nice skin fade compared to some places, you get what you pay for and more. Overall super nice people. He has now permanently changed his barbers to this one as he liked it so much. 10/10”

“5 star service - love these guys, highly recommended. We have one very happy Ella after her nail clip and pamper session. She literally smells of roses. Until next time - huge thanks”

“I had a great experience with Estie and their customer service is fantastic! After I had issues with an outfit I got from Mumbai a week before my sister’s wedding, I went to Estie and Amir was incredibly helpful in helping me choose an outfit. Even after that when there were issues with my sister’s outfit from India, they were incredibly responsive in trying to source another outfit for her and made the whole ordeal much less stressful. They have incredible outfits in store and I would definitely buy from them again!”

“A hidden gem. Clean, lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff. Ordered two cooked breakfasts, delicious. Very reasonably priced and came with two huge mugs of good tea. Will definitely be back.”

“I was very nervous about today having had to book a tooth extraction. Dr Fionnuala Lyons spoke to me a few days before the procedure to ensure I understood what was happening and on the day she talked to me to make me comfortable She made sure I was calm before the extraction. She put me at ease by playing music from a concert we had both attended. She asked me what I was comfortable with I.e did I want to hear what she was doing throughout the process or did I prefer not to know. She recognized when I was uncomfortable or in pain and paused to ensure I was okay. I would definitely recommend her.”

“I have been going to Tanya for around five years. She is very professional and always does a great job. Really great value for money too. My daughters both come here too. My youngest is very fussy about having her hair done and Tanya understands her so well. She is the first hairdresser in 16 years that my daughter actually asks to go to. I recommend her 100%”

“This was my first time visiting Terry at Jericho. I will definitely be back. After fitting me in on the day, I got a relaxed and friendly welcome, a quick and efficient service, and at great value. Would recommend.”

“Been using this barbers since my eldest child was 1 and a half (now nearly 13) and was terrified due to terrible experience else were, went to gents and never looked back they where/are amazing with him, as well as my other son who is 10 but has been going there since day dot. both my boys refuse to go else where and in all the years have never ever had a bad experience. Excellent hair cuts, amazing friendly staff so welcoming my 10 year old also is a SEN child and they have been nothing but brilliant. I would and still do recommend them to absolutely everyone!”

“Walked into the shop and I immediately got greeted by everyone and offered a free drink. I did not have to wait a long time. The haircut was quick, clean and smart. The barber was nice and talkative. I would recommend this shop to anyone who wants a haircut in staines.”

“I’ve been going to Bawan for all my haircuts, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else! He knows exactly how I like my hair and gets it right every time. On top of that, he’s always friendly and makes you feel comfortable in the chair. Highly recommend him if you’re looking for a reliable and skilled barber!”

“Always a pleasure go to this barber... My kids love this place.... The staff is amazing... How they talk, how they interact....they are super friendly, very welcoming.... And my little ones always exited to show off their new hair styles..... Thank u boys for looking after my 3 mans. ...”

“Absolutely stunning place The bed is absolutely comfortable I slept like a baby The place is so clean I will definitely be calling back”

“We booked our five month old boy to stay for a long weekend whilst we went away for our anniversary. We were worried because he is still so young but the entire establishment is like something out of a fairy tale! Lovely staff, amazing accommodation and amenities for the cats and such great value! We just picked our boy up and he was so relaxed and happy to see us which is a testament to how well he was cared for in our absence! We will use this cattery again and again. Thank you so much!”

“18-5-2025. Always welcomed with a smile. Great menu at great prices. Can highly recommend the half chicken, chips and a drink deal, all for £8.49, chicken is really tasty, better than Nandos. Chicken biriyani with rice is also very good. Piri piri Chips are great . Food cooked well and you don't wait long. Some seating and tables inside too.”

“Booked the hall for my son's birthday party and it was fab. Great setup and really easy to use their kitchen to do the food ( there was the option for them to do it as well) Staff member really helpful and no issues at all. They even managed to find one of the guests lost toy the next day Thanks for a great time”

“We had such a wonderful experience here. The staff was extremely welcoming and kind, they even let us wait inside their pub for hours instead of asking us to leave, which we truly appreciated. The food was absolutely delicious, and every dish we tried exceeded our expectations. The owner is so friendly and made us feel right at home. This place goes above and beyond in both hospitality and quality. I can’t recommend it enough!”

“Such a lovely atmosphere…. And staff is so friendly, they serve smiling and timely. We had a nice small birthday gathering and everything has been so well overall. Food was delicious, burger was just a bit dry but fish&chips was one of the best in the region.”

“Very nice pub! Waitresses are very attentive and helpful, and meals are a very good price! Highly recommend.”

“Best hair cut I have had in years!! Looking and feeling sharp!! Tam you’re amazing!! Thank you Sir”

“Went to get a pedicure done with my friend the two ladies were so lovely! Such a nice experience and Kelly did my nails perfectly and carefully. Really good service here the receptionist was also welcoming too, will definitely be coming back!”

“Had my nails done today here after the refurbishment. Had the usual SNS done. Friendly staff. Great service.”

“Hi This house was in good location good condition. The room and all around the house was absolutely clean and tidy. Comfortable bed, bathroom toilet was real clean as I use to work a housekeeper of 5 star hotel . My family member was happy as they visited from Thailand. She is 82 years old. Lucky the house was perfect for her condition. I usually don’t like to give feedback but to be honest . They customer service help line was good. The key and the details they keep sending me was crazy . It’s too much but yes ! They care for you. So I give 100% and Thank you so much.”

“I stayed for a week at Wraysbury Hall because I was working in the area. Great place with views over the Thames, amazing gardens and facilities. Highly recommended.”

“Have been to this lovely place a number of times over the years. Recently I’m really enjoying the veggie breakfast and have ordered it a few times (I’m not vegetarian). Highly recommend it, and compliments to the chef. The service staff are always so accommodating and asks about food allergies from the get go. Would be great if more restaurants are attentive to that.”

“Visited Saturday night; what a find! A friendly, vibrant, cozy pub. Staff and customers were welcoming and genuinely friendly and helpful, prices are great, and the Christmas decor is unique and eclectic and clearly the result of years of thoughtful work. We had a fantastic memorable evening. Can't wait to do it again.”

“Really fun and friendly pub, has a daily happy hour. Unbelievably reasonable prices and funny decorations”
