"We've stayed here several times now and will happily return. The location is convenient to town, and the property itself is lovely, especially after the recent renovations. However, the check‑in process consistently feels slower than expected. The bar menu is also quite limited. It’s surprising that simple options like a bowl of fries or wedges aren’t available to enjoy with a glass of wine or beer which my husband and I enjoy, as most hotels offer this. Overall, the food choices are minimal. We usually dine at the hotels we stay in, but in our five visits here, we’ve only had breakfast a few times and haven’t chosen to have dinner which is a shame really."

"Room was basic but well equipped. Pool and leisure areas were really nice for a little bit to do. "

"Excellent rooms and staff"

"The room was clean and well‑kept. It was quiet, and I couldn’t hear any noise from next door. Very comfortable stay."

"Lovely location with seaside within 1 min and a stream just next to our apartment. Loved the birds and sunset viewing. Minimal road noise in unit 5. Clean room. Comfortable beds. Newly renovated bathroom and toilet. Full kitchen appliances and shared BBQ facilities. It just lacks some cooking utensils: baking dish to use in the oven, big salad bowl and a cover for the frying pan. Owner was very accommodating - She let us check in without pre-payment as we arrived late. Thames is a pretty little town. We enjoyed our stay. Highly recommended. "

"Friendly helpful staff, clean spacious room with a back patio area. Outdoor pool and nice grounds. "
