Places to Stay in the East of the Thames

With so many absorbing things to see and do along the Royal River Thames, from watching the historic tradition of Swan Upping to splashing about in boats, you may well wish to stay longer than a day. 

Luckily the Thames area has some excellent places to stay, from campsites and canal boats to scenic waterfront guest houses. 

Henley on Thames and surrounding towns and villages make very scenic stops along the Great West Way. Whether you’re walking through on the Thames Path National Trail or in the area to watch the esteemed Henley Royal Regatta. 

Hire one of Hobbs of Henley’s self-drive holiday boats and wake up with the ducks. Or, if you’re booking for a large group, consider rooms at Henley Greenlands Hotel, set within the verdant grounds of Henley Business School.

Then there’s the romance of a river view... Take your pick from a string of beautiful B&Bs, hotels and guesthouses all in enviable positions along the Thames.

And the tranquility of a countryside estate... Exclusive Collection's Royal Berkshire located in the heart of Ascot is perfect for that Great West Way getaway. Explore the grounds which feature a private walled garden and a beautiful fountain plaza, or head out to nearby attractions such as Ascot Racecourse and Windsor Castle!
