The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Breakfast

I was thrilled with the breakfast spread at The Head of the River. The variety was impressive, offering everything from fresh pastries to a full English breakfast. I couldn’t resist the fluffy scrambled eggs paired with perfectly crispy bacon, which set a wonderful tone for the day ahead. This was definitely a highlight of my stay.

Unique Thematic Rooms

Staying in the author-themed room was a good surprise! I loved how each detail reflected literary inspiration, from the decor to the well-stocked Nespresso machine. It made my stay feel special and cozy, truly enhancing my experience at the hotel.

Charming Atmosphere

I particularly enjoyed the inviting layout of the communal areas. The cozy corners and rustic decor made for a charming environment to relax in between adventures. Sitting by the windows overlooking the river while sipping on a drink was an added bonus to my fantastic stay.

Spa-Like Shower

The shower in my room was a pure delight! The pressure was excellent and the temperature control allowed me to unwind after a long day of sightseeing. It was like having a mini spa experience right in my own bathroom, which really made a difference during my stay.
