The Coppa Club just down the road in Sonning is a fabulously luxurious venue for coffee, drinks or food. It’s only a 10 minute drive from the house - or an hour or so’s walk along a very beautiful part of the river…. https://coppaclub.co.uk/sonning/

Just a 15 minute drive from the house, Henley on Thames is a picturesque and quintessentially English town - also home of the Royal Regatta in Summer. The Angel on the Bridge is in a beautiful spot right by the river. Perfect for a pint and a plate after a walk along the towpath.

The ‘full English breakfast’ is a cultural classic - and you won’t find better than The Gorge Cafe’s take on this anywhere in the UK. Make sure to try the fried bread!! Suggest you do a long hike along the river and burn off some calories before attempting a Gorge Special!

An hour or so’s walk East along the Thames towpath (or a 5 minute drive) takes you to the antiquated village of Sonning. You’ll love it’s Hobbit-style cottages and quaint streets. If you’re lucky you may spot some of its celebrity residents… #NoSpoilers

Home of the Royal Regatta in Summer, Henley on Thames (just a 15 minute drive from the house) is a must-see for its quintessentially English charm. Meander round the shops in the pretty town centre, or take a stroll along the river, to find your Henley.
