Fabulous 1 night stay at Complete Angler, Marlow
Celebrating 60th birthday. Great spacious room with balcony overlooking the weir. All staff were very courteous. Breakfast was wonderful in a delightful room overlooking the river and bridge in Marlow. Free parking and very quiet.

Fine,
Average, filthy bathroom taps and bath sealant were really really grotty. Location is sublime though. Very very basic all-round, corridors are narrow and a struggle with a suitcase, no offer from the reception staff to assist with luggage. Was probably lovely when it was first built.

Leisurely charm of a bygone era
There is a relaxed, Edwardian feel to this riverside retreat. Don't expect the reception to be staffed when you check in. Hunt a little for staff amidst the wood panelling, and you will find tranquil repose.

Lovely room by the river
Lovely room right by the water. Huge comfortable bed. Good shower. Air conditioning, though we didn’t need it in January, still good to know it’s available. The bar is nice though not well stocked. Lack of anything to eat when arriving late was a little downer. The Staff are first-rate, attentive and efficient. Restaurant has a nice atmosphere right on the river. The porridge is to be avoided, just damp oats.

Lovely location but the double rooms are old and COLD. Had to ask for a fan heater as the in room heating was non existent. Not ideal in January.
