Lovely room with fabulous river view. We had a meal in the Riverside restaurant with 16 other guests and we were looked after impeccably. Great to stay at this well know hotel too.

Leisurely charm of a bygone era
There is a relaxed, Edwardian feel to this riverside retreat. Don't expect the reception to be staffed when you check in. Hunt a little for staff amidst the wood panelling, and you will find tranquil repose.

Lovely room by the river
Lovely room right by the water. Huge comfortable bed. Good shower. Air conditioning, though we didn’t need it in January, still good to know it’s available. The bar is nice though not well stocked. Lack of anything to eat when arriving late was a little downer. The Staff are first-rate, attentive and efficient. Restaurant has a nice atmosphere right on the river. The porridge is to be avoided, just damp oats.

Lovely location but the double rooms are old and COLD. Had to ask for a fan heater as the in room heating was non existent. Not ideal in January.

Enjoyable
Nice room looking over the water. Bit dusty, but comfortable.
Service was very slow but the food was a good quality and very expensive. Why do they need to charge extra for tomatoes at breakfast? Bit cheapskate if you ask me, especially when a breakfast is £26 in the first place.
Very enjoyable evening however.

Faded Grandeur
So disappointed with standards at Compleat Angler - admittedly 20 years since having stayed but Hotel is tired, room 11 deluxe had large cobwebs above bed and in corners of room. Bathroom equally tired - bath specifically horrid with either rust or dirt showing in the grid of safety grip section, TV was ancient and channels limited
We ventured into bar - but didn’t stay - dark and again tired
Outside the building definitely needs painting
Positively- the bedding was clean and bed comfortable - view nice over Thames to Church
