Reviews of The Row Barge Henley

I booked the room for two friends visiting from Australia. They wanted to stay in a traditional English pub for the atmosphere and were delighted. When I went to join them, they were ensconsed in the bar with a few of the locals. And that is the real delight of this pub, it is tucked away in a quiet street in Henley town centre and it is still the "local" and welcoming to visitors at the same time.

One thing I did forget is that my friends were a bit elderly, getting up and down the narrow staircases was a bit of a challenge. But hey, it's a 16th century timebr framed building, so it's not that they didn't like it, they just had to allow a bit of time to head up or down.

Charming little British pub and nicely sized room, staff was very friendly and helpful too! Very central and easy to find.

Our room (Number 1) doesn’t have a bathroom door which was a bit awkward and such a shame about all the bugs - spiders and even a small cockroach… quite a few spider webs too.

Lovely location quiet and peaceful

All good

The property is full of character, which means very narrow and steep stairs with low headroom. In a quiet location (no parking). Bed very comfortable. Tea and coffee in the room. Staff were great. Easy check in/check out. We were able to check in early.

The narrow steep stairs. No breakfast included or available.

Excellent location near Henley centre

Bedroom above the bar was a bit noisy

Location

Mattress and noise from the bar and street. Room small and poor value for money with no breakfast or parking.

It was clean & comfortable. An old property but with all you needed for a short stay

No breakfast included, lovey top floor quiet room Delightful pub garden, a great place to stay

A very tight steep staircase to our top room, not suitable for some… Nice small lights in the room but not bright enough to read by

Close to the town.

Could have done with shower curtain in bathroom

Lovely quirky place with a great spacious room.

It would have been nice to have some shampoo available for walkers travelling light

Giles was very accomdating and couldn't do enough for us . Liked the garden.

Not much, just needed a little more atten6tion to the cleaning

Steep staircase. Shower controls a bit confusing as couldn’t find temperature control . Had to park in town as no cat park.

Fantastic location, cosy, clean can’t fault it.

Comfortable room in a very old pub, full of character. Perfect for a nights sleep after Henley Music Festival. Very good location for town centre.

Room was expensive but understandable as rooms in very short supply for the Music Festival, and pleased they can make money whilst they can. No breakfast provided but lots of places nearby. Stairs very steep and little headroom!

Only the location

We stayed in Room 2 which was twin beds and tiny corridor type bathroom with v small shower. The shower was SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS AND WAS STEAMING HOT WITH NO POSSIBILITY OF REDUCING THE HEAT. I complained to the owner as I was unable to control the shower. There were no warnings or instruction and he acknowledged that it was “tricky”. I could have sustained third degree burns had I not got out immediately that I turned it on. Elderly or children would have been scalded. I am A solicitor and I would have sued them had I been burnt it was so dangerous. The room was poor with tired old pine furniture and lacking in any nice touches. It was £200 presumably because it was Henley Festival. It was not even worth £50 but the main issue was the inability to have a shower on a very hot weekend. I did not feel the owner had any care for his guests and this is a real breach of his public liability duty of care. No effort to refund any money or offer a solution. My husband did not even attempt the shower after my concerns. Very poor attitude and dangerous facilities

Friendly helpful staff.

No parking but good advice to find appropriate parking.
