Romantic Rooms with a View

Get cosy with your loved one and enjoy the beautiful River Thames from a luxury hotel overlooking the river. Complete your winter break with a trip to the theatre, a relaxing spa, a river walk or cruise.

The Swan at Streatley

Nestled in the beautiful and quintessentially English village of Streatley, The Swan was made famous as the spot where Jerome K Jerome’s exhausted ‘Three Men in a Boat’ finished their journey.

Make the most of this stunning area with a river walk into Pangbourne, perfect for an autumn day. The walk takes around two hours but there are trains directly back to Streatley from Pangbourne.

Indulge yourself during your stay with a visit to the hotel’s Venus Spa where you will find a mineral pool, a gym and a range of beauty treatments and holistic therapies.

Enjoy dinner in the award-winning Cygnetures Restaurant before retiring to your room. Be sure to ask for a room with a river view!

The Compleat Angler in Marlow

The beautiful Compleat Angler, sitting on the banks of the River Thames opposite the Marlow suspension bridge, has a history of catering for royalty and heads of state.

Forty of the Compleat Angler’s double rooms offer river views, so join the many celebrities who choose to stay here and indulge with a river view executive double room. For a supplement you can upgrade to a feature room with a private balcony.

From Marlow you can explore the beauty of the River Thames by walking into Cookham, where art lovers can visit the Stanley Spencer Gallery. The walk takes around three hours and 30 minutes but there is a direct train from Cookham back to Marlow.

There are plenty of pubs and restaurants to choose from in Marlow and Cookham so you can stop for a bite to eat en route.

For those who like the theatre, the Wycombe Swan is a 10-minute taxi ride.

Cruise and sleep afloat in style in Moulsford, Oxfordshire

For a real treat and touch of luxury why not splash out and the night aboard the beautifully refitted New Venture ‘super yacht’ with Henley Sales and Charter.

Originally launched in 1960 ‘New Venture’ conjures the refinement of a forgotten era, conjuring echoes of smart set parties at Cliveden as well as convivial family holidays. Offering four berths, and including a skipper, guests will be transported back to a tranquil world of elegance to enjoy the hidden delights of the River Thames.

Bates Star Craft were the luxury river cruisers of their day. Built between 1946 and 1975 they offered high quality fittings with classic design. The ‘New Venture’ at 40 foot is the ideal river craft; sympathetically restored in mahogany, chrome and leather she provides boutique facilities that perfectly complement her sleek lines including all the latest 21st century necessities such as wifi, flat screen TV, Ipod facilities and a decent shower!

Let responsibilities fall away as the vessel’s experienced skipper navigates the byways of the river, before mooring in a quiet spot and departing for the evening allowing guests to indulge in a relaxed or romantic night on board.
