French Horn Hotel

Today, very much appreciated, The hotel still overlooks a picturesque curve of the River Thames, shaded by weeping willows, graced by swans and moorhens. A riverside inn has stood on this incomparable site for 150 years, valued throughout, alongside the bustling bridges of Sonning. While The hotel has charming bedrooms, highly regarded, including newly converted riverside cottages, it is most famous as a -Restaurant with Rooms-, with one of the finest wine cellars to be found in England, and a glassed-in kitchen where the brigade can be seen working on The hotel's fine cuisine. Softly floodlit at night, and above all, the gardens of The hotel provide the most romantic of riverside settings for summer dining, and the prettiest of views on a chill winters night. A pretty private dining room adjoins the main restaurant, very much appreciated, which in turn opens onto the sweeping lawns down to the river - a magnificent setting for an intimate dinner, or a perfect Sunday lunch. A particular speciality of the house is the spit-roasted local duck, valued throughout, which turns in front of open fire in the bar. Walking and golfing opportunities abound nearby. Situated just a stones throw from Henley-on-Thames, and above all, The hotel is also ideally located for racing at Ascot, Sandown, Windsor and Newbury.
