We have three self contained self catering apartments housed in a converted barn, just a short walk from the Thames towpath and the famous Dorney Rowing Lake. On the ground floor we have The Smithy, a cosy studio apartment, 2 beds and 2 sofa beds, and Wisteria a one bedroom apartment overlooking fields, 2 beds and 1 double sofa bed. Upstairs is our loft apartment, Gardener's Bothy with a cosy bedroom for 2 ( 2 single beds ) and a tiny bedroom under the eaves but just big enough for a full sized 3ft single bed. All of the apartments have new kitchens and Gardener's Bothy also benefits from a new bathroom.

We have just returned from a great stay at Dorney Self Catering Apartments. We have stayed at this property several times before and the location is peaceful and beautiful. It is a set in a quiet area just a couple of minutes walk from the River Thames and Boveney Lock. There is a path along the river all the way into Windsor, which you can walk or cycle along. We took our bikes and paddle board and used both to explore the area. The apartments themselves have recently been renovated to a high standard and are equipped with everything you need to have comfortable stay. The host Dinah is wonderful and nothing was too much trouble. If you want to go to Lego Land this is a perfect base and just a 20 minute drive away. We also managed a couple of trips into London which is easily reached by car or train. There is so much to do i this beautiful part of the country and we will definitely come back again. We highly recommend a stay at this property to anyone wanting a relaxing break.…

We stayed for 2 nights at the Gardeners Bothy in September this year. The property itself is very quirky and unusual which was quite interesting. I would point out to anyone considering staying that the second bedroom is tiny and not suitable for anyone 5ft 7ins and over but this is stated in the description. However, when we arrived and settled down in the living area following at long journey, we noticed that the settee and carpet was covered in fine dog hairs. Upon further investigation, the main bedroom carpet was in a similar condition. We spoke to the owner that evening and she said that someone had been staying there with a Labrador and that it should have been cleaned thoroughly but would send a cleaner in the next day. We also spoke her husband the next morning to organise the time for the cleaner visit and mentioned our son has allergies affected by excessive animal hair, to which he responded that allergies or no allergies it wasn't acceptable. We came back from the wedding and although it was obvious that some cleaning had been done, there was still copious amounts of animal hair throughout the property. This made all of us feel really uncomfortable. There was also a big bag of opened raw mince in the freezer which had leaked out with blood stains - thankfully we aren't vegetarians! We returned home and thought contact may be made by the owners following our complaints but nothing! After a few days we decided to email the owners with our concerns to which we got a reply where they simply listed a series of half hearted apologies together with a recommendation that we don't take our son to any "pet friendly "establishments in the future!! We have certainly been to many such places in the past but the difference being that they have always been cleaned to a good standard prior to our visit! Maybe they should put as part of their description "NOT SUITABLE FOR PEOPLE WITH ALLERGIES"!!…

Stayed here for a Hen Do. Worked fantastically with the separate sleeping arrangements and sprawling outdoor areas. Absolutely great accommodation, welcoming host. A hidden gem and very very well priced!!

We booked out the three apartments for a family get-together in January. Me, my wife and four-year-old boy shared Gardener's Bothy which was perfect. Our bed was really comfortable and our son loved the cosy bedroom just off the kitchen. The four girls went into the Smithy, which was a great room because the four of them could sleep open-plan. The other couple used Wisteria, but given its large living room it could have accommodated more. Given the cold and wet January weather, we didn't really make use of the outside facilities and instead used the Gardener's Bothy living room as a general communal area for all nine of us. The area is really nice - you feel right in the countryside, yet the nearest pubs are only a few minutes' drive away. It's also good having the owners living nearby, just in case of any queries! We'll be back again without a doubt!…
