Excellent hotel in Henley upon Thames
Just spent one night at this fabulous hotel. The situation is perfect, on the river and within easy walking distance of shops and restaurants and the railway station. The hotel is extremely friendly and all staff could not do more to help. Our welcome on check-in was exceptional and lovely being shown to the room personally. The rooms had every comfort and had fabulous air-conditioning as we arrived on an extremely hot day. We ate both in the restaurant and the bar and prices were competitive and all the food we had was excellent. Cannot praise this hotel enough and We will certainly return in the future.

A wonderful first stay!
Just returned from a brilliant two night stay at The Relais, despite the endless rain. We were joined by family who were celebrating a special birthday and they were so delighted that we had chosen this hotel. The staff are absolutely amazing, nothing is too much trouble and you feel really at home in such a nice atmosphere. They were all so cheery, friendly and welcoming. We felt sad leaving them which is a real sign of exceptional customer service. The manager, Andrew, was very visible, friendly and so helpful, pre-empting our needs and going the extra mile for us which was very much appreciated. I would strongly recommend the restaurant, Dominic Chapman too. The four of us had dinner there on our first night, with superb food. Some creative choices along with nice touches. A well selected wine list with lots of choice, and lovely attentive staff. We also had a great breakfast on both mornings. A great selection of dishes, excellent quality ingredients, delicious pancakes and excellent hash brown. It’s a lovely property right by the river, immaculate, with beautiful decor and a really nice riverside walk right outside your door. We are looking forward to returning later this year and highly recommend.

Great for a weekend away
Well appointed hotel right by the river and close to the centre of Henley with all its shops and eateries. Very friendly receptionist who made great recommendations for dinner and made reservations. Nice bar with a good selection of wine by the glass. Breakfast was buffet style and/or extensive hot options. We stayed in a room in the courtyard which was most pleasent although did take a while to warm up. No car park but the large CP at the railway station is only 5 minutes walk away and only a few pounds for the whole weekend. Definitely worth a stay.
