The Falaise House literally refreshed my opinion of life.
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! read more
