Pros:

Excellent location with smart reception and bar interior.

Cons:

Room was quite small to include a four-poster bed. Bathroom was quite tight. Restaurant wasn't bad but not great either. Food, although cooked well, served incorrectly one day and glasses were taken away whilst a bottle of wine sat on the table half-empty.

Lovely hotel,didn't like the parking arrangements.
Pros:

Lovely,old building,excellent style and decor.

Cons:

There is no car parking facility. There is a drop off area with room for 4 cars at the front of the hotel, but access to and from the road is extremely difficult. They recommend to park in the railway station car park,a good 10 minute walk away,which is a real ask for elderly people particularly carrying luggage,and also comes with additional cost. A suggestion might be for the hotel to run a courtesy car to and from the car park.

We had a really nice break in Henley based at The Relais, which is convenient for all the town center as well as river w
Pros:

It is a spacious well proportioned boutique hotel with an excellent location, a good restaurant and very attentive staff.

Cons:

The lack of a car park and the distance to drive and walk back to the nearest recommended one (train station) was a bit disappointing (though I didn’t check ahead of arrival). The breakfast wasn’t quite as good as the dinner quality but that was only a minor thing.
