Clean room, lots of hot water, stayed in room 28 but hairdryer didn’t work. Also found the room colder than we wanted, we couldn’t get it above 19 degrees, would have liked it a couple of degrees warmer.

Accommodation in good condition. Staff polite. Food in the resturant was poor (mains were luke warm and warm deserts were scolding).
The staff were accommodating. I wasnt going to be able to hav breakfast so it was arranged for me to pick up a breakfast box. It was great having the pub next door. The 850 bus goes from outside into Henley-on-Thames regularly
Very comfortable bed, spacious room with a comfortable couch that could be converted to a double bed. I didn"t need it but ideal for someone with a child. The best place zi stayed in a excellent value

Very clean, comfortable bed, a bit basic but has everything needed for a short stay
Arrived early as we were going to a festival, went into the pub/ restaurant first for a breakfast. Waffles & berries was not great, fruit were definitely frozen & looked like mush on presentation, my cornflake chicken burger was luck warm as was my daughter full breakfast.
The room were recast early

Bed was excellent, as was the coffee. We ate at friends so did not taste the restaurant. People were truly lovely.On hot nights room 19 was quite hot
Fulfilled its purpose for 1 night for me. Staff friendly and helpful, room good size and clean. Pity no air con ( i stsyed during the v hot weather). A garage overlooking with bright lights on all night ut seemed. Goid value. Would stay again if in the area and needed
