Where to stay in West Byfleet

Byfleet Manor House. The current house was built in 1886 but a manor has been on the site since the 13th century. Once a residence of Queen Anne of Denmark, wife of James I, and a favourite haunt of the poet Geoffrey Chaucer, Byfleet Manor is now a private residence often used for location filming. It featured in ITV's Downtown Abbey as the home of Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham, played by Dame Maggie Smith. In February 2013 the Surrey Advertiser reported how a telecoms engineer had lifted the floorboards and come across a previously undocumented seven-foot square hidden room beneath him. It had no doors and a bricked up window. The room's purpose remains unknown.

This was not for me. I knew it was a windowless room but the endless dark corridors induced a panic attack and I spent most of the night sat in reception reading.

Absolutely wonderful location - close to everything! We had hot water issue on Friday night, which was kind of unfortunate. Otherwise I would have given a 5 rating.
