Andrew, United Kingdom

Beautiful setting by the river. Thoroughly enjoyed eating and drinking on the terrace.

Sarah, United Kingdom

This is a superb hotel in an excellent location close to the River Thames with easy access to delightful walks along the Thames Path. Our room was clean, comfortable and well-equipped. One or two things deserve a special mention: the large fridge and the fresh milk provided; the thoughtful welcome for the dog; the helpful car park attendant and the complimentary reading material ("Vogue" and "Beano"!)

Fenellastrange, United Kingdom

The recently refurbished hotel is beautifully presented, the staff were all most helpful and the restaurant very pleasant. The bedroom was more than adequate with a very large and comfortable bed, good complimentary tea, coffee and bottled water and a fan. This was the fourth time we have stayed, it won't be the last.

Michael, United Kingdom

The Great House is a vibrant well thought-out hotel, the staff are attentive, the decor is inviting and the extra touches in the rooms are lovely! The bar and restaurant offer a stylish place to relaxing and eat, and it's dog friendly. Love this place! If they have the space they should consider adding a small spa/beauty rooms.

Stevie, United Kingdom

“Beautifully refurbed hotel but customer service below par”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Deluxe Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉customer service way below level expected from standard of facilities and general decor. unable to deal properly with requests on the day for checking in slightly before 3pm ( instead of checking specific availability of the room with housekeeping as is good practice, they just repeated the party line of 'check in is at 3'. Having asked them to put my bag in the room when it did become available, they then failed to do so so that i had to sort it out at 11.30pm on my return from the evening out. Also car park is inadequate for the volume of visitors. They should prioritise hotel guest parking over day visitors
눇beautifully designed room. great location, good lawn down to the river and good facilities in restaurant
