Ferryman`s Cottage at The Beetle & Wedge

Right next to the river and the restaurant, which is a very well run and picturesque restaurant. Fantastic breakfast, we dined right on the river. Something to watch out for though is if you’re an arachnophobe, you may have some issues. Being close to the river, the rooms can attract rather large spiders. Other than that, it’s amazing! I highly recommend it.

A delightful suite in a cottage next to The Beetle and Wedge pub, beside the Thames. A cosy, well equipped room with a coffee machine, tea and proper milk provided, plus a good ensuite. Breakfast was sensibly priced and tasty, taken overlooking the river. Staff were friendly and helpful, and parking was easy. All in all a lovely location and a good room for exploring the area.

All good and a beautiful location

The Ferryman's Cottage have cute rooms, which have both heating and cooling if required. We had to keep blinds closed as the pub guests walk past our windows. The bed was comfy and the nespresso machine was very much appreciated. The only drawback is the sound. When other guests are going to their rooms it sounds like they are literally in the same room. We could hear people taking in the room above, but with earplugs all was well. They weren't noisy. The food had been talked up and we had high expectations for dinner, but honestly it was absolutely fine, nothing to write home about. Highlight was mackerel patented starter- that was delicious. Breakfast debacle - we had booked for 8am, and were told when we ordered that the chef had slept in and hadn't arrived (in ataff house next door). Even though he turned up at 8.30 we still didnt get our breakfast till after 9am. A bit outrageous to wait that long for eggs on toast. The waitress was very apologetic and took the breakfast off our bill, but I thought it was poor form for the chef to put her in that position, pretty awful for her to constantly apologise for him.

A lovely boutique hotel right on the river Thames. Our room was lovely and cosy ; comfy bed and nice bath ( though there was a leak which we reported) ; It was lovely and quiet. Breakfast was ok - no fruit or GF cereal for a reason that did not stack up ; No GF sausages which is just lazy chefing ( I say this on many reviews) so a GF breakfast reduces to bacon egg and beans - not a problem but with a bit of thought , could be so much better at £15. Does not detract from the fact we would stay again
