9/10 Wonderful! (718 reviews)
Beautiful establishment right by the river side, walkable to punting and all the sightseeing area yet feel quiet and exclusive as well. We were there for an event but the food was really good as well with beautiful bar. Room is unique and tastefully furnished too.

The management describe it as a modern day coaching in and that is a good description. The staff were lovely, and the breakfast was first rate. If I have any gripe is about the bathroom. I hit my head on the low ceiling a couple of times and there was a bath with a hand held shower attachment but no shower curtain and the ow ceiling meant I couldn’t stand to use it.
