An excellent stay at the Thames Head Inn!
I stayed in one of the four rooms at the back of the pub. Nice rural location with plenty of parking. Room was clean and comfortable, but the best aspect of the stay was the friendly staff and excellent food. Portions good, and the pub has a great atmosphere. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order and good quality. Would definitely stay again

This was our 3rd stay at the Thames Head, and as usual, we had an excellent stay. The staff are really friendly and chatty, the food is wonderful, with a large choice of dishes. Our room was very comfortable and quiet, good nights sleep. Would highly recommend a stay at The Thames Head anytime. Thank you.

Very pleased with our room.
The room looked lovely to walk into. We were only staying for 2 nights but the first morning our room was re stocked and the bed made as it was when we arrived.
