We have just had an absolutely brilliant holiday at The Compleat Angler. The atmosphere is just super, the staff superb and the food is just gorgeous. The place is sparkling and clean and the staff cannot do enough for you. Tom, Carlos, Lucia and the rest of the staff in the Bowater Restaurant produce some fantastic food, and the service... more

The Complete Angler is excellent in most respects.....super location by river thames. The sfaff are excellent and so is the serive....we stayed on a budget weekend with room for 2 at £115 with breakfast .....this was a hearty brakfast. However....our weekend was spoilt because we wanted to be able to meet in the bar....with Gin and Tonnic at £10....and a... more

My last visit was about 8 years ago for a reunion with old friends. Back in 2002 this was a fabulous hotel with a great reputation. Yes, it was expensive but the service and quality was on par so I didn't mind. Cut to September 2009 and we decided to stay here whilst visiting friends in Marlow. I'm afraid to... more

It was a lovely sunny afternoon so decided to have a glass of wine by the river. Have stayed at this hotel so was aware of the sneaky 12% service charge they stick on every transaction you have. In mind of this, I went to the bar myself and paid for the drinks as we were only having the one,... more

Made to feel unwelcome for afternoon cup of tea because we wanted to enjoy a river view at 4pm on a Monday afternoon. Most of the tables were empty at the time. The river was our reason for going to the Complete Angler and without the view we might as well be anywhere. The teas were overpriced at £4.50 each... more

Although the hotel has an excellent location, the journey up the stairs to our Room 102 was an assault on the senses. There was a very strong smell of stagnant water and we had to hold our breath every time we negotiated this stairwell. The first time I complained at reception I was greeted with the attitiude that, although the... more

We were so looking forward to the last night of our trip and staying at the Compleat Angler. By prepaying, we had a great price, and we also were given a river view room. Our friend was across the hall without a river view for the same price. While we love old hotels and don't mind creaky, crooked floors, our... more

I have been to Compleat Angler about 3 times in the past starting around 2001. My previous trips were all business trips and the experience was good. I thought this time round we would stay at the Compleat Angler for our vacation based on past experience. We choose Compleat Angler over Crown Plaza also because we were promised a room... more

It is hard to know where to begin. Everyone on the staff was friendly, gracious and most polite. Each of them could not do enough for me. The room was spotless with all the amenities one could ask for. The restaurants, Bowaters and Aubergine, had the most fabulous food I ever did eat. Perhaps the portions weren't too large, but... more
