First impressions, really very positive - lovely spot close to a backwater of the Thames, but notice there's a busy road that splits hotel form its car park (hint - ask for a bedroom away from the road). We arrived mid Saturday afternoon to a hot fire (in August!) in the small but comfortable bar / lounge area. Cosy and... more

My wife and I stayed for one night midweek in a junior suite overlooking the river. Beautiful view, nice room and a very comfortable stay. The lounge area was very comfortable and atmospheric with ducks roasting in the open fire in the evening. The meal was fantastic with surprisingly large portions. It was very expensive, however, with first course sfrom... more

My Mum and Dad had their 50th wedding anniversary here over this weekend and couldn't have chosen a better place. Their staff really went out of their way to look after them and we had a truly wonderful meal there for 12 of us on the saturday - stayed in their cottage rooms, which are fantastic overlooking the Thames and... more

Booked a one night stay for my parents who were celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary, and were hosting a family lunch at the restaurant the following day. The staff could not have been more helpful, and my parents were delighted by the room (actually a self-contained cottage) overlooking the Thames, with separate spacious bathroom, very nice bedroom (both these rooms... more

Stayed in this hotel for a few nights with family. The restaurant was a nice place for a family dinner with the food being well executed whilst a bit rich (we all felt a bit odd the next day). I can agree with other reviewers that the rooms were spotless (I think every hotel should get that right, no matter... more

I have been staying at The French Horn since 1991 and have no hesitation recommending it to friends - all of whom have enjoyed their experiences, as well. It is nice to stay at a hotel that is not slick and not 'homogenized' so that you could be in any property anywhere in the world. The fittings are regularly renewed,... more

A lovely experience all round. The rooms are very dated indeed but I found the bed in the cottage my wife and I had very comfortable and above all the rooms were functional and spotlessly clean. The actual restaurant and bar was faultless. The welcome from the staff, the service, the attention to detail, the size of the portions, the... more

A Charming and outstanding venue with a superb outlook of the Thames! A small family run hotel with an outstanding atmosphere and location, coupled with a relaxed yet professional ambiance. With state of the art information technology throughtout ! I had an excellent welcome after a hard day and it was so nice to be able to relax next to... more

The French Horn is essentially a restaurant with rooms by the Thames. It has a very high opinion of itself, not fully borne out by the delivery. First, the good stuff. The reception area/bar is cosy, open fire, warm, friendly. The restaurant itself is in large semicircular room attached to what was an old coaching Inn, and is well laid... more
