Stayed in a very spacious suite. Nice bed, tv in bathroom but couldn’t get it to work….tight on toiletries, one mini shower gel is not enough for 2 people. Supper in restaurant was good. Breakfast was ok but really grating was full English was included in b&b rate but if you wanted avocado on toast a £6 supplement as was smoked salmon and and scrambled egg as was 2 more items…..only had cheap white bread for toast. Continental selection was poor. Staff tried hard but understaffed especially in the bar in the evening. Hotel is in a beautiful setting and close to walk to high street where there’s some good shops.

Our one night stay at the Compleat Angler was lovely. While the building and room could do with a bit of an update, the overall experience was lovely. The staff were friendly; the room was spacious with a very comfy bed; and the amenities were excellent.

Welcoming reception . Pleasant staff. Beautiful room . Luke warm rather than hot water bath . Very slow service for food - one salad sent back . Enjoyed our stay but can see the hotel might need some tlc soon. Beautifully clean though.

Room was really nice and staff were friendly. When we arrived for breakfast a half an hour before last orders there was no bread or pastries left. Half of the cooked breakfast was missing with no explanation and then we discovered that the food was cold but all of the waiters had disappeared so could not complain. I expected more tbh.

Lovely room though very disappointed to learn that upon booking two nights that my room was not made up adequately, waters not replaced, bathroom not cleaned and bins not emptied. To add insult to injury, my 2nd night was more expensive. Unless I get some kind of positive response, I will almost certainly go public on social media with my findings.

The rooms are tired and could do with a refresh and a lick of paint. Likewise with the bathroom /fittings. No facilities in room to make a cup of tea; just a coffee machine with unidentified coffee pods. Towels were hard could do with fluffing up. Has to pay extra for a speciality coffee at breakfast which is a bit naughty. For what we paid for two nights, somewhat disappointed. We’ve stayed in better for less. If it weren’t for this hotel’s location, I think it would struggle. On the plus side, the staff were friendly, there’s ample parking and its a stones throw into Marlow!
