Great facilities, rooms and food
Pros:

The rooms were pretty spacious. The facilities had every sport under the sun and had walking trails to enjoy the scenery. Breakfast was really good, loved having Frosties in the morning.

Cons:

The staff at the entrance during our stay did not greet us as we passed by, but the gentleman and lady that checked us in were very nice and informative.

Disappointing and feel I was mid-sold a package that wasn’t available …..
Pros:

The property wasn’t too far from the Marlow town centre.
The grounds was lovely.

Cons:

I specifically chose the accommodation for the spa facility, only to find out it was closed.
Our room was freezing. We were provided with additional heating, but it didn’t make much difference.
I’m more disappointed about the facilities

Would recommend and will be back
Pros:

Location, Staff and value for money were excellent. Breakfast was great

Cons:

Only a small issue but the radiaator in the room, when switched on, made a noise so we couldnt have it on overnight - but it wasnt a huge issue - we were in room 11

Shock visitor. Really disappointing room and cafe
Pros:

Big breakfast choice
Amazing gym on site

Cons:

Cleaner came into my locked room at 6:30am
Shower stuck on 38 degrees, so scolding hot
Cafe onsite only serves pizza for dinner, which is odd considering it's a top sports facility
Advertised as king bed, but just 2 pushed together so you have a ridge you can't sleep on

Convenient and comfortable accommodation in a beautiful setting by the Thames
Pros:

Everything we wanted. A convenient rendezvous point to meet up with some friends for an inexpensive but very comfortable overnight. The grounds are lovely and the accommodation exactly what it says on the tin. Great sports facilities and interesting to see elite young athletes honing their skills.

Cons:

Everything was fine and exactly what we expected.
