The rooms are tired and could do with a refresh and a lick of paint. Likewise with the bathroom /fittings. No facilities in room to make a cup of tea; just a coffee machine with unidentified coffee pods. Towels were hard could do with fluffing up. Has to pay extra for a speciality coffee at breakfast which is a bit naughty. For what we paid for two nights, somewhat disappointed. We’ve stayed in better for less. If it weren’t for this hotel’s location, I think it would struggle. On the plus side, the staff were friendly, there’s ample parking and its a stones throw into Marlow!

The revue says free breakfast - it was NOT!! The hotel is in a ideal position to walk into Marlow town which has lots of different shops on the High Street. Our room was very quiet. Bathroom underfloor heating was good. Parking free for residents.

A very special hotel (location, interiors, history) - but not enough staff to match the quality of it all. Late-September falls between end of summer and before they switch the heating on - so coldish room, and aircon didn't help and couldn't be switched off, and they forget to suggest we use the heater tucked inside the wardrobe. But would absolutely visit again!

Hotel is fine, but not worth the money. asked to check in a bit early and they charged an extra £60 to do that. I’ve 65 nights in hotels this year and never been charged for that. Coffee machine in room wasn’t working and asked for replacement 3 times and never got one. Breakfast staff were very friendly and service was good. Overall hotel is “ok” which is a shame because the location is absolutely stunning.

This is our fourth time staying at this hotel and it is always a wonderful experience. Though the hotel room this past visit was not as large as our previous rooms, it offered views of the Thames River, which is lovely. The only reason I gave only 4 stars this time around, was that our bathroom was small and didnt look clean, in need of updating. But we have not experienced this in the past, so hopefully we will upgrade our room on our next stay
