Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the River Arts Club's beautiful location directly on the Thames, with many rooms offering lovely views of the river and rowing club. The spacious rooms and comfortable beds are frequently mentioned, and the breakfast on the patio is a highlight for many. Some guests have, however, noted that certain aspects of the garden could benefit from better maintenance. The Arts and Crafts building itself is beautifully restored, creating a tranquil and relaxing environment easily accessible and within walking distance to the town.
