Our first walking holiday and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. We were very lucky with the weather, which added to our enjoyment. The Miller of Mansfield was wonderful, the staff very helpful and the food exceptional.
The bird life along the Thames is amazing and the tranquil less busy stretches a real joy. We were at Henley and Marlow on a sunny weekend and the traffic and crowds intense so a weekday visit would have been better. Our last day coincided with the end of a long-distance charity walk and whilst it didn't bother us, booking to avoid such events (if possible) may be preferable for customers who want a more peaceful walk experience.
Oxford was delightful, though sadly almost all the colleges were closed. The walk from Goring into the chalk hills was a welcome change, and remarkably peaceful, with great views. The final day's walk, Henley to Marlow, was most enjoyable, as we could watch plenty of boating acitivies en route.

This is a wonderful walk. The river in itself is beautiful, the weirs and locks fascinating, and then there's the birdlife, the variety of boats (and their crews!), the houses and villages, and the ever-changing landscape. Wallingford, with its Castle Meadow, and Saxon banks, is particularly interesting. The Miller of Mansfield is a delight, with charming staff and delicious meals. We have wanted to walk the Thames Path for years; thank you for making it so easy!
The riverside walk from Sonning to Henley-on-Thames was our personal highlight, including a welcome stop for cold drinks in the courtyard of the Baskerville pub and restaurant. We also really enjoyed the city tour of Oxford which was extremely informative and enabled us to take our time and potter in the places of greatest interest.
It was very useful to have a walking tour of Oxford which we found very interesting. We appreciated the walk up into the hills which only took us a morning, so we did the walk to Pangbourne in the afternoon. An alternative walk 'inland' behind Goring might be a nice addition.
The route to Abingdon does have very muddy sections and they cannot be avoided. Hotels do not have facilities for cleaning muddy boots.
Train and bus services are excellent but less frequent at weekends. Taxi services from Twyford to Soning are rare.
the accommodation selected was excellent at all three locations but for us, the highlight(s) were following the line of the Thames along the river paths and through meadows, fields and woods.
The highlights were the pretty Thamesside walk, and the beautiful village of Goring and the The Miller of Mansfield hotel
An attractive mixture of riverside walking, architecture and literary connections as you pass through the various towns and villages. We particularly enjoyed the walk up into the hills above Goring to see the Thames and the town in the context of their setting, and where we had come from and where we we were going to. The side trip to Iffley Church from the lock was well worth while to view its amazing Norman architecture, one of the best Norman churches in the country (and featured in England's Thousand Best Churches). We were also fortunate to be in Henley at the time of the Town and Visitor's Regatta, and to see on a small scale the races and buzz of a regatta. The location of the hotels were ideal to explore both Oxford and the various stopover towns. The meals in the Miller of Mansfield were particularly memorable. Despite Covid and the closures of some sites we still found this to be an enjoyable break!
The walks are really enjoyable, well waymarked and the information provided by Inntravel is accurate and informative. The beer at the Miller of Mansfield was very good and the barman was very knowledgeable and attentive! We were lucky enough to see the swan upping at Goring. We hadn't known this was taking place but happened on it while taking some refreshments, including the homemade biscuits, down to the the river for a sit after our walk. It was a great holiday, the first of this type we have done in the UK.
Although many of the Oxford colleges were closed we did particularly enjoy a visit to Magdalen College and a walk through the grounds. Overall we found Oxford very interesting and will return. We enjoyed the meadow walks and butterflies, and lunch at pubs (Beetle and Wedge Boathouse, The Baskerville).
We went with friends and we had a lovely time, the location of your choice of hotels was perfect. Oxford was a gem of a city. The lovely towns and villages explored by the self guided walks has left lasting memories of a lovely holiday. Inntravel strikes again.
A very successful addition to the Inntravel portfolio. The combination of bus and train makes this easy walking. The last day walking from Henley to Marlow was perfect, especially as we were at the start of the Regatta season.
Lovely holiday - walks challenging in length but not in height so good for a damaged knee. The Miller of Mansfield is a real treat - we would go back there as we loved it so much.
Highlight of the walk was the section from Sonning to Henley. Highlight of the food was The Miller at Mansfield and highlight of accommodation was the Old Bank Hotel at Oxford. I would recommend customers to do their research on rooms if they have specific requirements and maybe call the hotel and ask for a specific room for their booking and don't stay at the Hotel du Vin!! [Inntravel Note: We have been in contact with the customer and the Hotel du Vin regarding the issues raised.
We particularly enjoyed the walk from Streatley into the chalk hills; beautiful views of the Goring Gap on a lovely day. Torrential rain throughout the day on Friday but a great sense of satisfaction on finishing the walk, drying out, and resting at our very comfortable hotel in Henley-On-Thames.
Easy and restful walking , mostly by the river, with some lovely views. It was also nice to walk through some picturesque and interesting towns on the way.
