We stayed at the Hotel du Vin having had a very positive experience of their hotels in Cheltenham and Brighton. The chain specialises in taking over unusual buildings and turning them into beautiful hotels. In Henley they have taken over the Brakspear brewery building and done a superb job. Once again the service, food and room were of an exceptional standard.
Yesterday afternoon we had a walk round town - nice to see somewhere that doesn't have every other shop on the high street broaded up - and then went along the tow path to the weir. It was a real joy to see so many people out on the river.
This morning we followed the regatta course on the Berkshire towpath. It was a lovely warm morning and it was the right thing to do to walk off a fantastic late, lazy breakfast of smoked salmon and scrambled egg.
For anyone interested in the Thames and the impact of rivers on English history, the River and Rowing Museum is a really good visit. Allow a couple of hours at least.
