  "Really very good"
  "My foirst thought was 'oh no - conference hotel' - earnest young men and women having 'breakout sessions' all over the place, but this really is quite a nice place. The original buildings have been tastefully extended on a pleasant plot down by the riverside. The A40 and the main train line are bo..."th audible from the grounds but no more than a swish in the background. Staff are a bit hit and miss. Some who could have been trained by the Four Seasons, some who were nice but a bit quirky - like the lady who asked if I'd like milk and sugar in my cappuccino - and some appeared to have dodged any customer service training at all - like the housekeeping lady who seemed to think if she stood in silence in my doorway long enough, I'd get out of her way. Food non vintage but perfectly ok. Our room was very good - I think the newer rooms are the bland ones described in other reviews. Lovely Clarins toiletries. They're getting a lot right here for £180 a night. " More >

  "Good hotel in lovely setting"
  "Stayed one night on May bank holiday Monday on a dinner bed and breakfast deal for £99. Beautiful setting on the Thames in Sandford. Enjoyed a walk by the river on a lovely warm evening, attractive grounds with photogenic boat moored on the river, however I thought it was an omission that there we..."re no benches or seats in the garden anywhere. A new block has just been built staff said it was due to open in June. Reception staff were efficient and helpful and offered help with luggage. We used the leisure suite for a swim, sauna, steam room and hot tub, also a gym available. Our room was OK -spacious, clean and quiet over night. The bed was comfortable but one of those zipped up twin mattresses. It was the first night the new conservatory restaurant was open, staff seemed unfamiliar with the layout, table numbers etc, about a third of the tables in use, service was helpful but not slick, person on a nearby tabled observed complaining that he had been waiting a long time to order. ...
