Negative Reviews

negative:

Rooms could be improved

It's not all bad where the rooms are concerned and guests do tend to describe them as quiet and nicely decorated. Unfortunately, guests also mention that the rooms could be much cleaner, also commenting that the rooms are too dark and are marred by a lack of proper maintenance. Plus, the addition of air-conditioning would be welcome.

negative:

Potential plumbing problems

A fair number of guests mention that they encountered some issues with the showers here. Not everyone has had problems but those that have described how when having a shower, the whole bathroom becomes soaked and unusable.

negative:

Can seem pricey

A fairly significant number of guests seem to have stayed at this inn on some kind of deal. This and the fact that guests mention that the rates seem high, especially when the Henley Regatta is taking place, indicates that this might not be the best choice of accommodation for budget-conscious guests.
