A lovely country house that is now a good spa hotel, between Marlow and Henley-on-Thames. Set in…read moreextensive grounds that provide a good walk, the hotel has two very good restaurants including the Oak Room which has a FANTASTIC tasting menu of about 7 courses for £75. We have tried this, along with the accompanying wines (which are more expensive than the food), and it's a great gastronomic feast. The spa has an ozone-cleansed (i.e. no chlorine) 20 metre pool, whirlpool bath, sauna and steam room, plus lots of treatments available. Limitless towels, robes and slippers, daily papers and lots of magazines, and kids banned from the spa area for the majority of the day (I like kids, but this is a relaxing/romantic place, not one for kids 'bombing' the pool!). It was used as an RAF Intelligence place during the Second World War.

The fish is served Branzino style, crispy on the skin side and soft and tender on the fish meat side. Served with some very flavorful greens and 3 droplets of mashed potatoes. A full meal. The smoked salmon appetizer is delicious, served super thin. If you want your table bread toasted just ask for it, goes great with the salmon. The shrimp cocktail is served as is a wedge salad with a french dressing or mayonnaise type dressing on top, wasn't a fan of this as I don't care for french dressing nor mayonnaise. The wine selection is great. The chablis is fabulous as is the malbec. Breakfast is good too, you can either order a hot food plate or do the continental buffet. The views from the restaurant are gorgeous, landscape of beautifully designed brush, flowers, stairs down to a maze and the Thames River and a nice walkway whereby you can see deer, etc. Great for a pre food stroll to get hungry or post food stroll to walk it off. The parallel bar is nice too. Closes early though for countries that tend to eat later, so get there early and make reservations.

Couldn't decide on one dessert, so ordered three kinds. But perhaps I ordered the wrong three as I felt wanting and expecting more from what we chose. We wanted to stay a night in one of the rooms provided by the restaurant but it was all booked. Make sure you plan ahead. Marlow is a beautiful town, make some time to roam around. To top it off, before we headed to the venue, we bumped into Tom Kerridge himself as he was heading out his other establishment nearby, the Coach.

The lamb for main was cooked perfectly, almost Wellington style. Pink in the middle and tender to bite. My mum ordered the fish and it was unusually accompanied by multiple sauces. A simple accompaniment to best bring out the flavours of the fish would have sufficed. The service was helpful, but not attentive. I hate having to flag down hospitality staff to order additional drinks, e.g when glasses are empty. I am happy to have travelled to the countryside to try gastro British pub food, however would be unlikely to make the trip again.
