We arrived in a constant downpouring of rain at about 9:00 pm. Finding the free parking was not easy and my wife got soaked when she went to ask for directions. Parking found, I then got soaked when going to check in. …

Nice hotel/pub in the centre of Henley with ample free parking. Friendly and welcoming lady at check in who showed me to my room and explained the layout of this quirky old building.Music in the bar on my first night which was free with versatile and experienced musicians. Karaoke on my second night which I passed on! Food was of middling quality and only one cask beer on offer but plenty of choice around Henley for both beer and food if you venture out.Overall a great place to stay that is near the railway station if you want to visit Stratford or Birmingham.

Ideal location in Henley. We stayed in a double room which was very well presented and comfortable with everything you may need; with a spacious en suite bathroom. Toiletries and towels included. …

I checked in during the pouring rain in October. A nice bubbly guy showed me to my suite which was situated overlooking the High Street. The first thing I noticed were packs of earplugs on the bedside table. …

Met friends for lunch today. We ordered soup and waited nearly an hour for it to arrive! Very small bowls and despite the menu stating it was to be accompanied by Focaccia we in fact received sliced white bread cut into triangles. …

We stayed here for just one night. The woman running the inn was very nice. The room was amazing in many ways. Little outdated washroom, but it was an actual medieval room. There were people partying a lot of the night, singing along to abba really loudly. Charming, but hard to sleep through. The breakfast was fine. For charm, the place gets full marks. Very nice people working there. We are just too old to want to do the abba nighttime challenge.

When here for a meal, been here before some time ago was so disappointedthis time, with whole experience. Limited choice of beers available when visited. Ordered food which took a ridiculous amount of time to arrive. 3 out of 4 meals were OK but the caesar salard was just salard with a bit of chicken in it. All meals were over priced for the standard of the food and service

The White Swan ! A very nice place to stay, room nice and clean, comfortable beds and shower room clean. Shame about the slight holes in the outside wall where the rafters sit, wouldn’t want that room in the winter 🥶. …
