Love this hotel and have previously given it 5 star but this time our receptionist on arrival did not infuse and make us as welcome as all the others and the Sunday buffet breakfast was a little disappointing in quality. Would still return as it is a lovely place to stay and ideally situated.

We had a lovely stay here. Very helpful, friendly staff who were very welcoming to our young children. We stayed in a family room which was comfortable and clean. I would definitely recommend the Relais and will return if we ever need a place to stay in Henley.
