    Nothing bad to say.

    Location perfect for walking the Thames Path. Spacious room and bathroom. Nice dinner in the pub.

    A pleasant place to stay, but too noisy for us old folk.

    The main problem for us (old people) was the noise. Beer barrels rolled around a 7.30 am on a Sunday morning and we could hear eery conversation in the room above.

    We didn't have breakfast so cannot comment. Room 1 was very clean but dark. Bed was comfortable but sofa less so. It was not the room described on the booking confirmation - but not a problem.

    The fire alarm went off at 2.30am, which we understand can happen. The odd thing was, that the residents (5 that came out of their rooms) were just stood in the courtyard waiting for some apology or explanation. I could see, what I assumed to be the manager and manageress, in the pub, turning off the alarm panel, but all I got was a 'hand-up' gesture, which I assumed that all was OK. At no point was anywhere inspected, so unknown to us, we had to assume there was no fire. Maybe an apology came to morning guests, but we had to leave at 7am.

    The pub, restaurant, service, food and drinks were excellent. The room was lovely and suited our 1 night stay.

    Nothing

    Ground floor accommodation with access to grass, for our elderly dog. Friendly pub environment. No extra charge for our dog. Great selection of local ales. One of the reasons for staying here was CAMRA’s Good Beer Guide Pub.

    Didn’t do breakfast but there are several places nearby that do,

    Lovely old hotel in a perfect position on the High st. Very nice comfortable clean room with a huge bathroom. Generous supply of tea/coffee etc.. Excellent and helpful staff. Great restaurant- well above “standard pub grub”. Would definitely stay there again if the need arose.

    I really liked the woman in charge, who was behind the bar. She was very pet-friendly, and she was very happy for the dog to be on his own in my room and make himself comfy on my bed. I also liked the dog blankets I could borrow from the bar. food simply but excellent, very good value for money - well done you lot!

    No breakfast! The last time we stayed they did breakfast but now this seems to have stopped. There was a good cafe nearby, so no problem, but it's a pity not to do it in house

    Lovely room, nice beer brewed on site!

    I went to leave at 8am, and there was no one around so I left the key on my bed. That's a minor point and I apologise if I missed a key box or something.

    It delivered exactly what was on the side of the tin. A big plus is always the food. Always, plentiful and delicious.

    Great place to stay but wouldn't eat here again

    We did have dinner at the restaurant. We ordered the lobster linguini and bread with cheese. We thought the linguini had no flavor and lacked any hint of lobster. The bread and brie was okay, and it was, as expected, with a sharp cheesy flavor. Overall this was a nice stay and one of of only a few places to stay in this town after hiking the thames. We wouldn't eat here again.

    The rooms were great—spacious and clean with a great atmosphere. There isn't much too close to the town, but the staff and rooms were a perfect place to relax after our 12-mile hike.

    Being able to have breakfast on site would have been great, although there was a fantastic café up the High Street that served a decent fry up.

    The staff were friendly and helpful and the food in the restaurant was fantastic. The over all vibe was great.

    Sadly the Red Lion did not offer breakfast though they did recommend a nearby cafe which was very good.

    Very attractive hotel which was close to the Thames path. The room was excellent and we had an enjoyable evening meal in the bar. The on site brewery was a bonus!

    we knew evening meal on a Sunday wasn't available and they don't offer breakfast but a breakfast would have been better than having to go to the local cafe

    Room very big and had fridge which was excellent. Furnitire in bathroom getting ready for a facelift and replacing but fully functionable
