Customer Service Non existent this time
So the last time I stayed here, I had to complain about a dog going absolutely ballistic in the room next to me. Poor thing was throwing itself at the door and howling. When I spoke to reception they advised that it was the Managers dog and he keeps it in a room when he's at work. Prior to this a car alarm was continually going off in the car park. That was the same dog before he got moved into a room. I even offered to have the dog in my room to keep it company. It was moved and sat at reception with a colleague.Anyway, I decided to give the hotel another go. After a 3 hour drive to my works office, all I wanted to do was have a hot bath and go to bed. Bath run but as soon as I was in it, it drained in a matter of seconds. I've emailed the hotel 3 times about this asking for a refund but have had no response. I did say I would be leaving a review if they didn't come back to me. Essentially I've paid for something I didn't get and as this is the 2nd time I've experienced issues feel I have to leave a review. No response to my complaint is unacceptable.

Unexpected delight
The Elephant Hotel was an unexpected delight - I was booked in as an overnight stop on the Thames Path National Trail. The room was really high quality - smart TV, leather sofa, high quality coffee and teas in the rooms. Plus a bath that was perfect after an 18 mile walk.

Very noisy room, we heard traffic all night. We asked for a room on a quiet location. Website says FREE PARKING. small parking was full. Park on the Village Hall parking where you have to pay. Toilet flushing was not okay. Breakfast service took a long time. Breakfast buffet would be easier and less complicated then your way of service.
