Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was full of history and convenient for attending a wedding, but the noise from the industrial kitchen fan was quite disruptive. The service was extremely friendly and attentive, making our day special, yet the dining experience left much to be desired with tasteless options. The facilities were lacking, and the ongoing refurbishment impacted relaxation opportunities.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was pretty good, with a nice village setting near Marlow, but the room fell short of expectations and didn't match the website images. The service was a hit or miss, with friendly staff at times but also encountering rudeness. The dining options were decent but had some flaws. Overall, an okay stay but with some room for improvement.
The hotel offers very well-presented and spacious rooms, although the adjacent gentleman's toilet’s extractor noise could be bothersome at times. The service is friendly overall, with a few instances of miscommunication. The location is incredible, being in the beautiful old main building by the river. The dining experience is pleasant, especially when served by the cheerful staff. The hotel lacks areas to sit and relax in the ongoing refurbishment. Great value for money, especially for those needing to stay close to Henley.
