I stayed at the French Horn in November, from the outside it doesn't look that nice as its right on a road and could do with a fresh lick of paint or a good clean. In side down stairs there was a real fire which looked and smelt lovely. The room was very clean and large, I had a mini... More

I went to dinner with my wife on Friday evening, and the Maitre D gave us the best welcome I've had into a restaurant for as long as I can remember. We had drinks by the fire, watching the ducks slowly turn on the spit. Once in the restaurant itself, the waiting staff were discreet and attentive, and the food... More

A lovely warm welcome. Old-style service, attentive yet discreet. The food was outstanding, classical dishes perfectly cooked from fine raw materials. More

Went to Sonning on Thames for a wedding, the bride and groom being residents of the village. Unfortunately they had booked all of the rooms in the excellent Bull (the location of the reception). We decided to make a weekend of it, and to stay at the French Horn because of its 'reputation'. I booked a Junior Suite' well in... More

She seemed disinterested and concentrating on something else when we arrived. Not the kind of customer service you would expect from a hotel like this! The bar attendant wasn't very helpful either and... More

We chose the French Horn for the last two nights of our holiday in the UK so we could be semi-close to Heathrow without being in London or on airport ground. We had a room in the cottages across the street from the main building and it was like our own private paradise. Our room was fresh, bright and roomy... More

Here's a tip. If you want the most relaxing and wonderful lunch, this is the place to go, be it winter (to enjoy the roaring fire) or summer (to stroll in the grounds). Back in summer 2009 I had never even heard of The French Horn however a friend who writes about restaurants recommended it as the perfect place to... More
