The Falaise House literally refreshed my opinion of life…read more Arriving in the sparkling Henley On Thames, my girl and I easily located Falaise after getting dumped off at the Henley railway station. We didn't even realize it while booking, but the location is tremendous. It is at the peak of town, so all we had to do was roll out of bed and we were right into the heart of the place. Upon first arrival, we were greeted by "Jane" who was so friendly that I had forgotten humans could be that nice. My girlfriend and I looked at each other in shock after our interaction with her, it was so pleasant. She wrote down restaurants we should check out in town for lunch and even wrote down the prices which she had memorized. She even volunteered to print tickets to a show we were going to for us!! Our room was such a fresh, lush haven of clean, white tones. The pillows soaked our heads in glory and the whole vibe was so fantastic. There was a curious amount of horse imagery in the room, but hey you only live once. May as well horse around. Yak yak yak. Anyways the shower was great and the soap/shampoo/moisturizer supplied smelled amazing. The room was also supplied with hot chocolate, cookies, and tea for our enjoyment. At first I didn't understand the wifi situation which concerned us, but after flipping through the book in the bedside table, we found the code for it and it was super fast! That book also has menus and local information, use it! Only two little complaints. Something was clearly wrong with our toilet and after flushing it, it would run for a LONG time, sometimes up to an hour or more. We didn't care so much, but it was a bother at night. Also, the heat was on at night after a fairly warm day. The room subsequently got very hot and I wasn't very comfortable at that point. Everything else was so amazing about Falaise House that I don't care about that anymore. Our street-side windows were great to crack open, sit on the ledge, and look at the town from above. At night it was cool to look at the ghost town of Henley. In the morning, we actually did not utilize the complementary breakfast as it ran from 7-9:30 AM which was quite early for us after a long night. Let Falaise House hold you tenderly as you visit Henley, you will not regret it!

The Falaise house is an extremely wonderful place, a home away from home…read more Located right up the street from the very center of Henley On Thames, the Falaise House is of prime location. We were greeted by Jane, one of the owners, who was such a friendly human that I thought I was in some sort of alternate reality. She knew my boyfriend's name upon arrival and greeted us at the door. She was eager to recommend places for us to eat, which ended up being very delicious. The Falaise House is an actual house - a very classy, simplistically decorated home. The rooms are rented out to customers. Our room was beautiful. A big bed, a TV on the wall, a vanity, a dresser, nightstand, and spacious bathroom. The bed was deliciously comfortable with a soft down comfortable and wildly soft pillows. The room was warm (too warm at some points), but the windows were easily opened for some fresh air. In our room there was a large binder of menus of the best places to eat in the area, along with a wifi password, which was a definite perk. Breakfast is complimentary in the morning. What an amazing, amazing place.

On August 31st, my family and I were on a tour with a wonderful guide (Jill Pretorius of Windsor…read moreDay Tours)... We had already walked all over Winchester, we were on our way to Stonehenge, we were excited and hungry, but also jet lagged and exhausted! Jill brought us to The White Lion joking that, being only 400 years old, it was practically a brand new pub! We came in (mind your head), and were immediately sat down at a big, groaning, family table! Water was served, beers and ciders followed, and then meat pies and fish and chips were ordered all around! This meal was absolutely delicious in the way that only homemade country pub food can be. The cider selection was excellent, and we left refreshed, happy, and ready to take on the rest of our day (mind you, we ALL passed out cold in the van after Stonehenge and on the way back to our hotel)! Thank you so much to the ladies of The White Lion Inn & Pub for your extremely warm hospitality!! Much love! I hope to make it back one day!
