Stayed overnight while visiting the area for a wedding, staff kindly allowed us to check in a bit early to give us time to change before heading to the wedding. Reception staff were always friendly and had a smile and a greeting for us whenever we went through. Room was a good size, clean and comfortable, bathroom was a bit... More

(I had paid £80 for double room with dinner and breakfast) Lovely view over the river; room spacious and comfortable with sofa for sitting and reading, watching TV etc. Bathroom clean with soft towels and...

Breakfast was gorgeous and the servings were huge, I had the full English the first morning which was lovely and I tried the Eggs Benedict the next day which... More

Upper Reaches is a cute hotel at a tranquil setting. Warm breakfast is really good and it does not take long to be served. Scrabbled eggs on toast are highly recommended. The rooms are very clean and the personnel was very helpful. The only drawback is that you could not have wireless internet at your room upstairs but only at... More

I stayed at this hotel with my girlfriend for 1 night on Sunday 5th may for the bank holiday weekend. We chose this hotel due to the river location and very attractive price for bed breakfast and dinner. The hotel is very easy to find, being just next to the Abingdon Bridge on an island surrounded by the Thames. Parking... More

We stayed there for 2 nights at the end of April - not long enough- and had a wonderful relaxing time. The location is superb, we stayed in room 32 which is very spacious and has a wonderful river view. So quiet and it was a shame that we hadn't booked for longer. The staff are very friendly. The restaurant... More

Me and my husband stayed at Upper Reaches last week as we wanted to visit Oxford. We decided to stay in their 4 poster bed room also used as wedding couple room. We got the room with the package with 3 course meal for £130 (only) for 2 people. I thought it can`t be that great for this price but... More

I saw Sunday lunch advertised on the hotels webs site at £14.95 for 3 courses plus coffee. When we arrived we were presented with the menu and it said £16.95 !!! The waitresses were unhelpful in helping sort out the price. At lunchtime on a Sunday its very difficult to find alternative venue restaurant. So we stayed hoping to be... More

I've never eaten in The Stream restaurant in the hotel before, but people from work stay there quite often. To celebrate our wedding anniversary we booked a dinner for two to see what it was like. The 3 course menu had enough variety and options for both a vegetarian and non vegetarian (meat eater) dinner. We picked a table next... More
