Good parking but a £10 charge is made for this. Rooms a little tired and bathrooms could do with being upgraded. Excellent breakfast and location is lovely.

Bit dated now as I’m sure the general consensus is but it kind of adds to the charm. The location is the star, so peaceful on the river with the views of the church. If it was fully modernised then the rooms would be 3x the price. I would happily stay here again

Clean room although tired. Bed feet were ragged with some sharp wooden edges. Staff were overall friendly in bar and restaurant at breakfast. As were maintenance staff in grounds. Breakfast was good with a nice hot and cold selection. Parking fine and no issues in finding space. Apple trees are a risk to park near due to falling fruit. Thank you for looking after us.

We love this place but it is getting tired. The maintenance is in need of an uplift and the rooms and lounge areas need a refit. Still a lovely stay and Sindhu was excellent for lunch. The reception staff for the hotel were OK but lacked motivation to welcome their guests with any enthusiasm. Breakfast was excellent and the setting for the hotel sets this apart from most.

Offered upgrade to suite with either river or weir views and ended up near the bridge overlooking the entrance. That said the suite was lovely although 2 of the TV's werent working, a cupboard door was broken and there was insufficient toilet roll. tea/coffee selection was poor and what there was, was insufficient. If iy wasnt for the location which is amazing and the local town, the hotel would score badly.

Our one night stay at the Compleat Angler was lovely. While the building and room could do with a bit of an update, the overall experience was lovely. The staff were friendly; the room was spacious with a very comfy bed; and the amenities were excellent.

6/10 Good

Firstly, I should say that the garden of the Hotel is one of the most relaxing places I've been to in England to just sit and enjoy a nice glass of wine by the riverside, watching the world go by (or at least the boats). The hotel, however, needs a fair bit of work to bring it up to scratch to justify the £350 a night for a small, basic double room. The public areas are ok, and the food is definitely not too bad, but it just feels like the place needs a bit of a makeover. I was last there about 15 years ago, and pretty sure it looked exactly the same inside. The room was clean, but a few annoying things. The bath panel was hanging off (unacceptable really) and the shower pressure was weak, plus the constant changes in temperature suggests they need to sort out their continuous supply to individual rooms. It actually reminded me a little bit like a B&B. That said, the staff were really nice and friendly, and the concierge was a wonderfully nice chap, so only big ticks for their employees. Clearly the location puts a premium on the prices, but did feel a little ripped off for accommodation so 'average'. Sorry !
