We live locally and booked the French Horn Restaurant for a 55th birthday treat. It was a fabulous day and we decided to walk the 3 miles each way to Sonning along the (slightly muddy) Thames tow path. Hence we arrived with our yukkie walking boots on, and removed them at the entrance of the hotel. This was obviously not... more

Stayed 1 night with my partner. 1st impressions were great - lovely location, very attentive, pleasant and professional staff, plus the terrace was lovely and the bar areas very comfortable and atmospheric. However, as we were taken up to our room on the 2nd floor, it became apparent that there hasn't been any money spent on this hotel in a... more

Beautiful location - difficult to believe it's less than an hour from town. Have visited this restaurant on many occasions and have yet to find fault with anything! The food and wine are exquisite with a great choice available.The service is consistently impeccable without being intrusive or stuffy! Having coffee and petit fours on the terrace overlooking the river is... more

My partner and I frequently visit the French Horn over weekends (I'm sure if the owners read this they know who we are!) We absolutely love the French Horn. We are always awaited with a warm friendly welcome (even if they are busy, which they frequently are with dinner and Sunday lunch), we are always allocated the room we like... more

First impressions, really very positive - lovely spot close to a backwater of the Thames, but notice there's a busy road that splits hotel form its car park (hint - ask for a bedroom away from the road). We arrived mid Saturday afternoon to a hot fire (in August!) in the small but comfortable bar / lounge area. Cosy and... more

My wife and I stayed for one night midweek in a junior suite overlooking the river. Beautiful view, nice room and a very comfortable stay. The lounge area was very comfortable and atmospheric with ducks roasting in the open fire in the evening. The meal was fantastic with surprisingly large portions. It was very expensive, however, with first course sfrom... more

My Mum and Dad had their 50th wedding anniversary here over this weekend and couldn't have chosen a better place. Their staff really went out of their way to look after them and we had a truly wonderful meal there for 12 of us on the saturday - stayed in their cottage rooms, which are fantastic overlooking the Thames and... more

Booked a one night stay for my parents who were celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary, and were hosting a family lunch at the restaurant the following day. The staff could not have been more helpful, and my parents were delighted by the room (actually a self-contained cottage) overlooking the Thames, with separate spacious bathroom, very nice bedroom (both these rooms... more

Stayed in this hotel for a few nights with family. The restaurant was a nice place for a family dinner with the food being well executed whilst a bit rich (we all felt a bit odd the next day). I can agree with other reviewers that the rooms were spotless (I think every hotel should get that right, no matter... more
