riverside hotels?
      12/05/2008 19:46

SWMBO has her parents coming over from Jersey on the bank holiday weekend and the original plan was to go on one trip upstream and back to the marina one day, go back home and then the next day, come back and go for a trip downstream for the day.
They have said that they would be more then happy to go out on the boat, and then stay in a hotel whilst we sleep onboard (boat to small and cosy for all of us onboard!).
Sounds good in theory, but was wondering if anyone could recommend an actual riverside (or very close within walking distance) hotel. We are moored at bray, and as of yet we have only gone out on trips in the day and then returned back to the marina for the evening, and as a result have only really got as far as Marlow before having a picnic and then returning.
So a couple of questions:
1) how far could we expect to go (upstream or downstream) in a days cruising, ie, could we make it Henley at a leisurely pace?
2) Can anyone suggest a Hotel that is close to the river and has a suitable mooring nearby for us on the boat.

Although it does sound like a good idea, because that way we can spend more time on the river, and less time travelling back & forth from home, I am concerned that it might not work in practice. Worried that if there is a good suitable hotel, we might get there and find all the moorings are taken and therefore we end up mooring to far away, to make the evening enjoyable.
