The location is stunning. Situated on a bend of the Thames, our room had access to a balcony with wonderful views over the hotel gardens and the river. All the staff were very helpful and friendly. We ate in the restaurant one evening to celebrate a birthday. The food was great and the service was attentive without being intrusive. A perfect balance. A very cosy bar with open log fire for pre and post dinner drinks. Car parking just across the road.

No lift and fairly steep stairs, but we were helped with our luggage up to the room. So, not really a problem.

There is everything to love about this property! The staff are extremely welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The property itself has an amazing character and charm, overlooking the beautiful lakes, the grounds are beautiful and so calming to sit in. The room was extremely comfortable and clean with the most idyllic view. My stay was finished with a delicious breakfast.

The views were exceptional! Such a beautiful location! The views of the river from the bedroom was incredible. The property itself was a gorgeous 200 year old building with a perfect terrace to drink and dine on. Every single member of staff was incredible and made it feel as though they truly cared about their guests. The service was the best I’ve ever received

Nothing

It's rare to find in this corner of England these days, where so many old hotels have been given anodyne, cookie cutter makeovers (all the latest design trends but totally souless and uncomfortable such as The Great House over the bridge or The Bell at Hurley) whereas The French Horn retains it's old style English charm and character. Please don't change it!

Whilst the restaurant is excellent, the pricing is on a par with some of the most expensive in Mayfair or Knightsbridge and feels probably a tad too much for this part of the world.

I love the location - on the river and connected to the top restaurant in Berkshire! The two story aspect was nice cause had river view. LOVED the breakfast delivered to the room! And they made me gluten free toast!

Old carpet and room probably needs a refurb but that’s ok. Loved everything else and will come back.

Lovely setting. Full of old world charm Carpeted dining which means a much nicer dining environment for people with hearing problems

We were a party of 8, having dinned the night before in the restaurant we had to have breakfast in our rooms separately, The reason given was COVID which is senseless. In room breakfasts were specified at the time of booking but we hoped they had come into line with other hotels. This rather took the shine off the stay. The room itself had a fire exit sign that glowed brightly above the door all night, illuminating the room, so much so my husband had to hang his shirt over it. No hot water until 8.00am

Location & character. View of the river & lovely grounds.

Dinner prices! Our own fault, we hadn’t checked the menu before we booked. But the cheapest starter was £25 - way over our budget

The owner of this hotel was so friendly and made our stay very enjoyable. The view of the river from my bedroom window was lovely.

The shower didn't work very well, but I gather this was something to do with a pump and the owner had promised to get this looked at first thing next morning.

Characterful property located right on the Thames, very picturesque. Food was great and staff were very attentive.

some parts of the property are very dated but this adds to the charm.

Beautiful location and charming inside

The shower didn’t work very well but the room was lovely otherwise
