Nice room (28). Very spacious. Not a great view, but quiet at back. Gent who greeted me very friendly and showed me to my room. Breakfast was nice. Checkout spoilt by a bar tab on my bill despite me not using the bar, and the tab not being signed by me. As before, my bill had a charity donation, and... More

We spent the weekend at the hotel for a birthday celebration. The staff could not have been more helpful with the planning and the food was perfect. Lunch in Bowaters was excellent value and dinner in Aubergine was delicious, the tasting menu with accompanying wines was excellent with each course surpassing the one before. The setting is beautiful and the... More

Stayed for 2 nights as part of a work related conference Having stayed at many hotels for business conferences this one does not quite hit the mark. Positives first; - excellent food and service in the dining room with a good varied menu. Ate in the restaurant the first night and private dining the second. Both were of very high... More

We chose The Compleat Angler as the venue for a birthday celebration and our party of 10 enjoyed drinks in the garden followed by champagne and afternoon tea. It has to be said that in the sunshine you could not hope to find a more beautiful setting by the river. I do think however that some improvements could be made,... More

You definitely pay for the views if you stay in a room opposite the river. At breakfast in Bowaters Restaurant, you feel like you're on the water- lovely atmosphere. The room was pretty good although the bathroom needs updating and the shower could've been more powerful. Breakfast was very nice although the sausage tasted a bit commercial. The service was...

We had a wonderful stay at the Compleat Angler. It was just for a night but we were able to pack a lot of activity and fun into the trip. Marlow is a delightful town right on the Thames. We were lucky enough to have good weather and were able to take a boat ride as far as Bisham Abbey.... More

It is great to read about your enjoyable experience at the hotel and in Marlow. I assume that you hired a boat from the hotel. For the benefit of other readers, we have two skippered boats to hire. There is one smaller boat for up to six people for £90 an hour and one larger for up to 12 for... More

Thank you for posting your feedback following your recent stay. It sounds like you stayed in one of our feature rooms and due to availability, we offered up an upgrade at a 50% discount on arrival. I am sorry that your room was not ready on return from your boat trip, however, I am pleased that this was handled well.... More

We have stayed and dinned here before. Very let down, on arrival was told the restaurant was fully booked, my husband declined to check in, a table was then found to be available at any time we requested? The food was poor, lamb sent back twice as tough, so opted for cheese at an extra supplement, gave up waiting. Room... More

I am very sorry to learn of your disappointment. As you have dined and stayed here before, you will know that this is not our normal standard. Where you describe the food, I can only assume that you are referring to the lamb. This is most unusual as our meat is carefully sourced from Scotbeef, that also supply M&S. Unfortunately,... More

Booked the hotel as a birthday treat for my wife. Lovely location in a lovely little town. Girl's on reception were great, tiny bit "officious" but very efficient & polite.

I am sorry that you were disappointed with several aspects of your stay. From your comments, I believe that you had booked and had been allocated a classic room which unfortunately do not have river facing rooms. I will certainly take a look at your room as your comments lead me to only one of the bedrooms. I accept your... More
