The last time we were there was about 15 years ago and not much has changed. The location of the hotel is beautiful, on the banks of the Thames. It's a cosy, beautiful old hotel.
After a long drive we had expected a nice dinner, but we were disappointed. It was no longer what we had in mind from before! Maybe this is our problem too!

The stay was truly enjoyable with stunning views overlooking the river and an atmosphere that exudes charm. The food in the restaurant was exceptionally good, particularly the lobster thermidor, which was a memorable highlight. The gardens surrounding the property provided a serene setting for relaxation, making it a perfect getaway for families.

All the staff made you feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble. You were made to feel wanted. They even presented my wife with a small birthday cake, pre-arranged by myself.
