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

Like staying here as it's near my daughter. Staff friendly and really helpful ( especially if you misplace your keys, oops!) ). Dining facilities really good and the foods great also. Will definitely be staying again and would recommend to anyone.
