My Husband bid (and won) an evening for 2 at The Waterside Inn in a Silent Auction to include dinner with wines chosen by the sommelier and an overnight stay. I am so glad he did!
On arrival we were greated by a friendly receptionist and shown straight away to our bedroom whilst the car was being parked for us outside of our room. Such a perfect room, overlooking the garden and wildlife on the Thames. The bed was kingsize and wonderfully comfortable with crisp linen sheets. It had 'his' and 'hers' bathrooms - a walk-in shower in one and a bathtub in the other. Fine toiletries were provided as were lovely fluffy towels,robes and slippers.
We drank our pre supper drinks in the charming gazebo by the river - so peaceful! The food was absolutely amazing as you would expect at a 3 Michelin Star Restaurant. The waiters were so attentive and jovial without being intrusive.
We had coffee and liquers back in the gazebo which now was made to look more romantic with flickering candles.
Yes it is expensive with A la carte menu approx £300 for two & rooms from £210 in the High Season but well worth it for that special occasion. Breakfast is continental breakfast only and is served in your room. I really didn't think of home once - leaving the hectic world behind!
