Proud to be independent, Chase Lodge is not your average hotel. A 200-year old building with oodles of character, it epitomises the cosy, old-world charm so often lacking in today’s tower block, chain hotels. A former magistrates house, Chase Lodge has 12 rooms, all unique and with free wi-fi. We’re a minute away from lovely walks by the River Thames and in Bushy Park (1,100 acres/300 deer). Just over the bridge, is the ancient City of Kingston with 47 restaurants including Jamie’s Italian and Carluccio’s. Or catch a boat up to Hampton Court Palace, where 5 Kings were crowned. Chase Lodge is 30 minutes from central London and Heathrow airport. We’re really friendly and welcome children, pets and romantic couples. Park directly outside or in our residents car park nearby. "A hidden gem”.
