Beautiful setting by the Thames, great staff and lovely food. Stayed overnight,lovely room .

Lovely smart clean rooms and a restaurant overlooking the river. Somewhat characterless however - the “pub” is a few sofas and coffee tables at one end of an open plan restaurant - visit in summer when you’ll want to be out in the garden. The tech in the rooms needs a rethink as we had a 55” TV in a snug / film room that can’t be used to do anything other than watch terrestrial TV - fixed mounting on the wall so you can’t even slip a chromecast on and the smart features are captive Samsung screen mirroring Apps so useless with iOS. A usb turntable placed photogenically in the corner of the same room with no power supply only highlights the lack of attention to detail (as if we all have a box of vinyl in the car ready for that day we find a turntable in the hotel room). The Bull is a better experience in winter.

Went to a wedding here yesterday, beautiful venue, very high end feel right down to the fantastic cheese buffet at the end of the night. Superb bar staff.

We held our Christmas party here in a large, well ventilated space. Fantastic service, great food and beautiful rooms. Some of the rooms are on the road, try to avoid them.

Compared to our previous stay, many years ago, this visit was excellent. Booked via Bookings, the hotel's response to questions where spot on. The room we had (85) in the clock tower was excellent. Excellent shower, big TV, comfortable bed. Little things all add to the experience. The fridge with proper milk and biscuits. Extremely quiet at night. Due to this, we may stay again, next time we are at The Sonning Mill Theatre.

Great hotel and lovely service in that department. Coppa Club: The young staff perpetually appear like they don't really want to be there (so the service charge feels a bitter pill to swallow!) but the food is pretty good.

Visited to attend a wedding and stayed a night. Absolutely fantastic hotel. The furnishings, decor, attention to detail, cleanliness, food were all superb. Would most definitely recommend staying here.

Not what it was, it used to be a 5* but now it’s no higher than a 3. Food tastes great, but very small and uneven portions (bought 2 of the same meal, but difference in amount given on plate). The waiteress asked how everything was and I mentioned the difference is size and she shrugged her shoulders, smiled and walked off. We were going to book 20 people in for a meal next month but have decided to go elsewhere. Such a shame as it is a lovely place.
