    This place suits me perfectly with excellent wi-fi, free parking, and a cozy bar/lounge area. The staff once helped me with currency tips, which I appreciated. I love it here and will return for Christmas!

    spacious room
    great food
    lovely garden setting
    noisy room
    hot room

    Our stay was quite enjoyable, especially since we used it as a base to explore the local attractions. The room was spacious and comfortable, providing everything we needed. Dining at the nearby restaurant was a highlight, with great food enjoyed in a lovely garden setting. The only downside was the noise from outside, making it slightly difficult to get a good night's sleep.

    Delightful riverside stay with room for improvement

    We had a lovely stay with a spacious twin room featuring charming decor and stunning views of the river. The food at the on-site restaurant was a highlight, especially enjoying breakfast in a cozy outdoor pod by the water. parking was a hassle, and we faced challenges with noise levels from the street, which affected our sleep quality.

    cozy fireplaces
    lovely ambiance
    impressive wine selection
    misleading breakfast pricing

    Had a great time with friends! We enjoyed the lovely ambiance by the river and the cozy fireplaces. The wine selection was impressive too. We explored Henley and Marlow during our stay, which added to the fun. Just a heads-up, if you want a picturesque room, opt for one in the main building to get the most character.

    One downside was the breakfast experience. We felt misled about the pricing, which made us unsure about how much to eat since it was a flat rate initially.

    comfortable bed
    nice view

    Couple getaway with a few hiccups

    The room size was great with a big comfortable bed and got real nice milk for my coffee. There was also a lovely view of the river from our window which was just perfect for unwinding after a long day.

    It wasn’t exactly a bargain, but you know, what isn’t these days.

    spacious room
    excellent food
    slow service
    limited options
    inconvenient breakfast

    The twin room was spacious and comfortable, featuring all the necessary amenities for a short stay. The food, especially the classic fried fish, exceeded expectations, and enjoying dinner in the garden setting was a highlight. the breakfast setup in the Coppa Club could benefit from a quicker option for those on a tighter schedule, as ordering can take time. A more convenient breakfast solution would enhance the experience.
