The hotel room was clean abit on the small side. We were lucky to get an upgrade which I am thankful for. The only two issues were the food at the bar was not great also you have to pay additional tax which I have never seen at any other hotel I have stayed at. The hotel also had an incentive that they offer £20 towards food and drink which was not honoured which left a sour taste when leaving the hotel. Unfortunately it’s not the £20 that is an issue it’s the principle of it.

A wonderful stay, would 100% go back
A short 1 night trip away the beautiful grounds of this hotel took our breathe away, we really felt we were in the middle of the countryside and the lovely river flowing around only added to this. Our room in the main section was a little small BUT modern, all recently refurbed with underfloor bathroom heating and a lovely comfortable bed and absolutely perfect for our short trip - any more than 3 nights and you'd probably run out of space. The staff were all so friendly and helpful, exceeded my expectations - would definitely visit again when in the area.

Fabulous stay
Superb overnight stay. We were upgraded from the barns to the main island. First room had a very squeaky bed so we were moved without question. Room was small but beautifully appointed. Comfortable bed with luxurious bedding. Delicious mini buns welcoming us in the room. Well stocked complimentary fridge. Grounds are spectacular even in winter - lots of seating areas which must be wonderful in summer. Hope to return!

Service was amazing, the property was great and clean, the room was comfortable with complimentary drinks that were much appreciated after a long travel day and the parking was so convenient. I have to say the restaurant was very pricy for what you get- and at that price I personally think you shouldn’t have to pay for bread and a bottle of water- but that’s just my two-cents. Otherwise, awesome stay!

Lovely unique property on an island surrounded by the Thames River. Stunning setting as you enter across a bridge, then faced with beautiful white buildings, canal boat spa, greenery with squirrels and ducks everywhere. Very peaceful. Breakfast was outstanding, great taste, hot, and plenty of it. Lots of choices too. Attentive staff! Highly recommend!!

Lovely location and property, the bar is very cosy and pleasant and the rooms are as well. The room was 21.5 degrees when I arrived and the bathroom had heated flooring. Bit too warm for me but good for most people I assume. Some of the doors could have done with a new handle.or hinge, but it's a minor gripe in an otherwise excellent hotel.

We celebrated a 60th Birthday with a Lady's weekend in the Sundial Cottage - we were able to spend the whole weekend together without having to separate until we were ready to retire - we all had our own rooms ensuite. The common areas were comfortable and the private garden was lovely. The massages were wonderful. I look forward to returning. Thank you!

Anything but a country estate experience or luxury
It felt like we were mis-sold a tiny and overpriced room in the converted barn, thinking we were getting a country estate experience in the common areas. There is just one small and stuffy lounge in the main building, and the lady sitting outside it was grumpy and surprised we even asked about common areas. Such a massive disappointment. Also, the rubbish bin had not been emptied after the previous guests, including a dirty cotton stick on the carpet.
