I am a runner, and need to stay in good shape – and Jenny is fantastic at getting the right pressure, and is such a nice person, so encouraging and it was a pleasure to go and see her – or any of Jessica‘s team. Highly recommend a visit if you play sports regularly, or even if you don’t. I run an Airbnb in Henley and her brochure and cards are in the guestroom. Also, it’s consistently good; I have attended here for several years, ever since it opened, and it’s always been a great service.

Overall Ratings

The River & Rowing Museum, set by the river in picturesque Henley on Thames, brings the river, rowing and the arts to life in a series of stunning galleries and temporary exhibitions. The Museum, housed in stunning oak clad building designed by award winning architect David Chipperfield, is home to the UK's only gallery dedicated to the work of prolific British artist John Piper. Families are welcomed to the Museum, and the permanent Wind in the Willows walk through experience is enormously popular with visitors of all ages! Hosting an ever changing series of temporary exhibitions, there is always something new to see at the Museum and their annual pass tickets provide fantastic value for money.

This was a welcome stopping point, on a journey to Oxford. It is an award-winning purpose-built museum, just by the Thames, devoted to boating and river-related activities. It is a great place to eat. For little kids there is a walk-through section that brings the Wind in the Willows to life. For older 'kids' there are historic boats from past rowing events, an amazingly preserved Saxon dugout, even a skiff the Three Men in a Boat might have used. For art buffs there a special gallery devoted to the paintings of John Piper, who lived nearby. It's worth mentioning we got in free with our Art Fund passes - but otherwise it was reasonably priced; and the shop was a delight. Has its own free car park. We thoroughly enjoyed our couple of hours there.

What a down to earth character Lord Nuffield must have been - the house is in no way grand and, unfortunately, it does look in need of rather a lot of TLC (I'm sure the many flat roofs don't help.) The interiors are comfortable and homely rather than grand and you could almost be walking into your grandparents house. The only nod to grandeur is the Billiards Room which is in a wing on its own and the tool cupboard in his Lordship's bedroom gives a fascinating insight to the restless nature of the man. Really interesting

We were in Henley-on-Thames for a short break and the hotel recommended this spa. I booked in for a hot stone massage and foot massage and my husband had a deep tissue massage. The spa was spotlessly clean and all Covid health measures were clearly being adhered to. We were made to feel comfortable as soon as we entered the spa. My hot stone massage and foot massage was amazing as was my husbands massage. At the end of our treatment we were offered a glass of fizz and some chocolates as we were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary that day which was so kind and made our visit there even more special. The only disappointing thing was that we were only visiting Henley-on-Thames so I am unable to be a regular customer. Thank you again to all the staff and KuBu spa.
