Macdonald Compleat Angler

Went for the most beautiful run in the morning, the surrounding country lanes etc are fantastic. Hotel is old, creaky floorboards meant I (a light sleeper) suffered with broken sleep, breakfast was disorganised, cobwebs everywhere, and stains (e.g. what looked like blood stain on the curtain and wall?) and excessive unhygeinic furniture in room. I would visit this hotel, not stay.

This hotel is in an absolutely wonderful spot, just over Marlow Bridge from the pretty town and overlooking the river and weir. The public spaces are extremely sell-appointed, smart and comfortable. I mark service down on attention to detail: we were disappointed not to have been warned by the hotel that Marlow Bridge would be closed on the principal day of our booking; also, though we stayed for two days, our room was not serviced. In the event the bridge closure was less complete than predicted so our stay was not really affected materially. On facilities, I would say that the room, though very comfortable, was dated: though the bathroom was very good, there was notably only one power socket available in the room, far from the bed, and slightly tired-feeling furnishings. But we greatly appreciated the welcome for our dog, and we enjoyed two excellent breakfasts and good hospitality at the bar. Overall, of course we enjoyed our stay very much, but at this price level the service and accommodation could do with sprucing up.

Ok for day or two… No A/C.

A perfect spot by the Thames! The Compleat Angler boasts a stunning riverside setting, just steps from the town centre. Peaceful, picturesque, and ideal for a relaxing getaway. Would stay again.

Having stayed at this hotel a few times now I feel as though it is slowly going down hill. The service that they offer is poor, especially at breakfast. We were seated fairly promptly and were not returned to for our breakfast order, we had to find a waiter and place a request with them. My husband commented that his cereal was stale and the yoghurt that I ate tasted off, it was just sat on the side in an open bowl with no cover or attempt to keep it cool. We asked for extra coffee which just didn’t turn up, we had to collect butter for our toast rather than it be delivered to the table. If we were to stay again I would eat else where for breakfast and certainly wouldn’t recommend the hotel breakfast to anyone considering staying there, especially with so many eateries in Marlow. I also found that the male staff only addressed my husband which was rude and disrespectful. Overall the location is the main attraction, the rest is not worth the price.

Fantastic hotel, the bed is soft and comfortable. But there is a bit noise from the river if you are sensitive to sound.
