The Old Butchers in Hambleden

I loved the garden and being able to eat outside listening to the birds. The bed and bedding were fabulous.

When I arrived at the property was closed when I arrived and a film set was in front of the property. I knocked several times on the door and there was no answer. I came back later on and still the property was closed and in the dark and clearly it is either not a guest house or the owners decided to go away without telling me and cancelling my reservation. I think it’s appalling to advertise your property on Booking.com and then be closed without any communication via Booking.com or directly.

The fact it did not honour my booking and was closed with no one there.

TV had no signal in the living room No loo brushes

The location of Hambelden is always going to be nice, and on South African heritage day, you could not complain. The Stag and Huntsman is an amazing place to visit for this. The Old Butchers Inn was a nice place to stay but wasnt worth the high price compared to other surrounding places including the Stag and huntsman

The cost was £50 more expensive than the Stag and Huntsman, however this was wally booked at the time so didnt have a choice. The room did not an en-suite and only included a communal bathroom, which we were aware of. if we wanted the luxury of behing able to shower in private we had to pay extra for a room that had this The comuncal bathroom only had a bath tub not a shower. The doors to the room are old cottage doors so loud when you lifted the latch or unlocked the door, this meant anyone using the communal bathroom in the middle of the night would end up waking other guests, as this is what happened to us. This was more of a Air BnB with a help yourself to the kitchen and lounge feeling. The bed made you feel like you were going to fall off the sides if you got to close the edge, almost as though the mattress was larger than the base.

The location was beautiful and the place was super comfortable.

Gorgeous village location, with a pub, post office/convenience store and church, a short distance from Henley on Thames. The property itself was lovely, nicely decorated whilst keeping some old features with plenty of space for a group of 6 or 3 seperate couples. There's also a well kept garden. Generous contintental breakfast. The owner was quick to respond to any questions/requests.

Little sqeak on a bedroom door that could do with some WD40, but I'm being really picky here!

We had a lovely stay and it was exactly what we wanted. Booked last minute because we had a tasting at Chiltern Valley Winery. Excellent communication from the host, parking and breakfast included and we asked to leave our breakfast out so we could choose when to eat, which worked very well. We stayed in the double room but there were no other guests so it was very quite Beautiful village location near a lovely pub and the accommodation was clean and well finished

The instructions for the front door could be clearer and the shower for our room is over the bath but we had a great stay

Clean and comfortable in a pretty village

This is essentially an airbnb type place. Never saw anyone and communication was brief to the point of unhelpful. WiFi was terrible and no phone signal so don’t rely on looking at the instructions to get into the property when you arrive as you won’t be able to get into the booking.com app. Finally and most disappointing was the lack of breakfast and the refusal of the owner to take any responsibility for that or offer a refund. The description under the property stated ‘continental breakfast available every day’. When this was pointed out the owner after first saying no breakfast was ever offered said it was our responsibility to request it. I asked for a modest £25 refund and was ignored. This could have been a great little place to stay with a 5 star rating if the owner just had taken a little more care.
