We very much enjoyed being in Henley in the sunshine.
Pros:

The location close to the river and close to the town and the railway station only 10 minutes walk away.

Cons:

We would have liked a walk-in shower; climbing into and out of a bath tub at our age is not easy. We would also have liked a fridge in our room.

Great hotel to stay on
Pros:

It has a heritage feeling, it's very nicely decorated and clean. The staff is very friendly and welcoming.
The underfloor heating in the bathroom is such a bonus! And a free upgrade is also a great bonus. Breakfast was also excellent.

Cons:

The shower - the water could be slightly more warm and it's small.

Highly recommend
Pros:

We really wish we could have stayed longer than 1 night at this lovely hotel! From the moment we arrived, we received a very warm and friendly welcome. Staff were really thoughtful and extremely courteous.
Our room was spacious and cool and looked out onto the river. We greatly appreciated the very kind gift left in our room, in celebration of our Golden Wedding anniversary. Such a surprise and a very kind and thoughtful gesture.
Breakfast was excellent and the restaurant very cool and airy, which was wonderful as it was very hot outside.
There was a very comfortable outside terrace/courtyard area, almost like a garden room. Very relaxing!
We loved every moment of our stay and would love to go back again soon. Thank you so much.

Nice hotel - spoilt for me by in appropriate very loud conversations by breakfast staff.
Pros:

Nice hotel - very inappropriate conversation by breakfast staff on 2 days. I will write to hotel as writing content here would be very unfair.
