We're taking the inlaws out with us for a weekend and they need to stay in a hotel. As they are old and infirm, I'd like to moor overnight as close to the hotel as possible. We will only get as far as Sonning and I remember a pub/hotel next to the bridge but can't remember its name. Bet you can though.
If anyone has any other suggestions, they'd me most welcome. (leave them at home?... I've tried that, but swmbo said NO!)

No its not. The French Horn is directly opposite and the restaurant is streets ahead IMHO

Never knew they did rooms, thought is was just a restaurant, and I lived a few miles away for over 15 years!

Yes Definitely a cut above anything else in the area. There's also The Bull in the village which I believe has rooms.

May be right as far as food goes - dont know although I have never had a bad meal at The Great House - but it is somewhat further to walk, compared to the few yards from The Great House mooring which is free to patrons.

Whats happened to the public moorings that are/were a few yards downstream from the Great House? Nothing wrong with the food at the GH - just that the French Horn is in a totally different league. All depends on your expectations and what you are prepared to pay for.

Still there, not sure who owns them, was Uri Geller. But the Great House has its own customer mooring right below the hotel and its free whereas the main moorings are £5(?) a night and further for infirm folk to walk. Mind you. folks that arent using the hotel have been known to moor there - shame on them.....

the French Horn... do they still serve one Pea split between a table of 4 and charge you a telephone number for it?

Thanks all,
I've given your leads to the wife.
If she books it and it all goes wrong, it can't be my fault, can it?
