We stayed at this hotel for a friends wedding which was also at the venue. Rooms were great and were made available for an early check in as requested. We had a room above the main hotel and first impressions were good. A little over priced but good. Then we had the pleasure of meeting the staff. Working in the... more

Stains on the sheets, dirty bathroom, and the most depressing rooms! Not sure website photos of the rooms are actually in the hotel? more

Having jokingly commented on our approach to the hotel that the tired looking building to the right was where we were staying, we were surprised to find that this was actually the case. The over all impression given on the internet was very deceiving, as the photo is of the newer part of the hotel, but we were assured by... more

We stayed at the Upper Reaches for a family reunion in July (as we had done four years ago and had had a good visit then). The experience of getting together as a family was wonderful, but not the hotel. The accommodation was acceptable (one has to agree with several of the other reviews of the hotel) The dinner (pre... more

For all its ambitions to be a kind of boutique hotel, whether through complacency or lack of direction - it really does need to raise the stakes a little more. During my stay there were the usual clumsy bits and pieces, like only one towel in a twin room, no iron when there should have been one. Stuff that when... more

Stayed at Upper Reaches for Business. Location is very nice, room is ok and clean although shower is depressingly weak. The real trouble was with the obligation to pay for internet. I chose this Hotel because the online booking package said "Internet Bed & Breakfast" or "Internet dinner bed & breakfast". Of course I was sure that internet was part... more

We stayed in a modern room which overlooked the river, breakfast was very good but the starter for dinner was more about presentation than taste I think. Plus points: Nice clean modern room Nice views out of the window Close to Abingdon for shopping etc Friendly staff Minus Points: Room was roasting and only one fan for the whole hotel... more

We were a group of 3 couples getting together on the weekend. The boys played golf and the girls went for a walk. The hotel worked perfectly. Super location, quiet on the river, excellent service, good food and overall worked really well. We'll be back for sure. Dinner on sat night was very good, tasty and well presented. more

Incredible setting with ample car parking right in the centre of Abingdon and only a 20 min drive to Oxford. Our room was more than adequate - only two criticisms - 1, it was over the main entrance so was noisy (we would have asked to change rooms if we had been staying more than one night), and 2, when... more
