The Relais Henley

Right on the Thames, this is a wonderful hotel with great food, friendly staff and history in spades. From the team on reception, through to the bar staff, wait staff, conference staff and cleaning crew etc, everyone was incredibly kind, polite and friendly. The rooms, on the whole, are amazing. I was tempted to drop a star because one of my party had a room with a sloping floor that gave them a bit of vertigo and I found the bed a bit too short... However, they moved my friend to a new room as soon as asked and, I am 6'5" tall, so I'm used to being too big for beds everywhere. I loved waking up with the rippling sunlight on the wall, reflected off the river in the early morning.

I don't always leave reviews but am a little blown away by lunch today. I worked in Henley from 1998-2001 and remember The Red Lion with a sort of fondness. My goodness, what a transformation, and I can see this turning into the place to be seen at Regatta time. I lunched here with my wife today and it was fabulous. We both had the Sea Bass for main..... amazing. My salmon Caesar salad was wonderful. Topped off with some great service from Sam. I hate to give away a secret but come here.....I don't think you will be disappointed.

We came here for a meal on the last night of a holiday. We booked a table last minute. Because it was such a short notice online reservation the staff were not expecting us when we arrived. They could not have been any more welcoming. All the staff were so friendly and helpful and so kind to our 7yr old boy. The food and service was exceptional. Staff always make the experience for any customer and they were brilliant. We left happy and full of the most yummy food. Highly recommended.
