"Better than expected"

"Spacious room, warm, quiet. Good friendly and helpful staff Good breakfast  Convenient location"

"We have stayed here twice. The first time (2025) we were in the block which is separate to the main building- this was OK and the service was much better. The latest time we stayed we were in the main building- its grotty. The carpet leading to the rooms was stained and the room itself although it looked clean, didn't 'feel clean'-the place could do with a refresh and new carpets. We were unable to get food upon arrival as they stop serving at 9pm- we arrived a couloe of minutes before 9pm after a 4 hour drive, we were disappointe and we could see a couple eating in the bar area whose meals came out long after we had arrived- so really we could have ordered and been served. We ended up ordering an Uber eats meal."

"Beautiful room, great facilities and friendly staff. However, there was a large green ‘ emergency exit’ light on all night in our room which was very bright, and made it hard to sleep . Despite there being a fan- the room was also too hot as it faces the sun all day."

"Spent a couple of hours in the Tavern bar a couple of weeks ago for a light lunch and a few drinks. Food was fine. 2 or 3 girls working behind the bar were very friendly, polite and good fun. Lovely Courtyard. Well worth a visit."

"We stayed one night in the Sapphire Suite at Ferryman’s Cottage. My husband was attending an event at the nearby Goring GC with another old friend who also stayed here. We last visited the Beetle & Wedge over 30 years ago, when we were boating on the Thames for a holiday! Ben the owner since 2020, has clearly worked hard in difficult trading conditions, with this charming pub with rooms, set on this beautiful stretch of the Thames. Our g/f room was a good size, attractively decorated in a nautical theme. Comfortable large bed & good sized en suite shower. Fluffy white towels, very clean & tidy with a coffee & tea making facilities & fresh milk & bottled waters still & sparkling in the mini fridge. My husband & his friend went off for their dinner & I enjoyed supper in the pub restaurant. It was nicely busy but Alex the restaurant manager & his excellent staff looked after me very well. The restaurant looks out over the river is attractively decorated & hung with wonderful original art by Tim Bulmer on the walls echoing the fascinating history of this old pub. Delicious individual venison pie with veg, a glass of Merlot & some local ice cream to finish: a very enjoyable meal! We were the only folk in for breakfast on the Sunday morning, but were offered cereals pastries & cooked breakfast all very good, served by a very efficient & friendly girl. Even two otters appeared to entertain us, and several rowing eights came past from local boat clubs - perfect! We checked out and will definitely return. Five stars even though Trip Advisor only allowed me to put four! Why??"

"Comfortable slightly quirky room with everything you need. Good WiFi, good beer, beer garden, excellent personal service and breakfast (not included in price but half price for guests, around £5). On the Thames path and close to town centre. Only downside no parking, although free o/n in nearby car parks."
