When I grew up in Henley in the 1960's, 70's and 80's The Red Lion was the top hotel in town. Ancient, flashy, grandiose, expensive - an up-market joint in an up-market town. Now, having lived in Sydney Australia since then, imagine my surprise when I found that my family and I could stay there for not much more than... More

stayed in this hotel for two nights as we were there for a wedding. we had requested a room overlooking the river when we booked but on arrival we were allocated a room overlooking the busy main road this was rectified but the receptionist obviously didn't know the hotel layout as the new room was still overlooking the front. we...

Stayed for one night in one of the Boathouse rooms in the grounds of the courtyard. The room was small with a little lobby area with two comfy chairs. Walls are quite thin and I could hear guests talking in the adjacent room. The bed was extremely comfortable and a nice big walk in shower in the bathroom but no... More

What you don't see in the web site information is the awful shack rooms offered to unsuspecting guests charged at incredible high prices. The staff were very aloof and not friendly or helpful. Car parking was a nightmare. The bed was uncomfortable the room if you could call it that was so small. The breakfast was pleasantly served, but was... More

This is a quintessentially English hotel with an historic past. Room 109 had indeed been occupied by the Duke of Marlborough in days gone by. The hotel retains its former traditional decor in the communal areas stylishly and unpretentiously. The spacious bedroom, graced with bespoke furniture, was clean, elegant and classically colonial. I have to commend the top service at... More

My wife and I stayed here on a recent visit to Henley and it was very nice indeed. The room overlooked the river, and whilst we were worried that it would be noisy as it was close to the road, it really wasn't. The rooms have style and an individual flavour to them, and the staff are incredibly friendly. A... More

My boyfriend and I booked a last minute one night stay here for new year's eve. We were out for dinner, so didn't spend much time in the hotel, but still had a lovely stay. The staff were polite and welcoming, and directed us to our room. I can't remember our room number but it was in the main building,... More

Went there as part of a wedding party. We were fortunate enough in having an extremely large bedroom, (room 110) with a huge bed, antique furniture, a superb view over the river with the sun rising on the water, and an en-suite which included a bidet. However, others in the party weren't so fortunate. Be specific about the kind of... More

We enjoyed our last Sunday lunch so much that I bought ANOTHER one and we went yesterday. Lovely food, Steve had the butternut squash soup, and I had melon with an orange sorbet, and we both had the roast beef. The delightful staff were as helpful and polite as ever and a comfortable dinning room. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves once... More
