Nice traditional pub

This venue is a good old fashioned pub. The food was amazing. I had an evening meal and breakfast. The price is competitive. The only reason i marked it down slightly was the room having really thick sone walls felt a little damp. I think in summer it's bliss and once winter starts and the heating is on it will be fine.

Excellent place from which to start Thames Path

Caught train to Kemble, then walked here to stay overnight before starting our walk along the Thames Path. Excellent location. Clean and friendly. Evening meal and breakfast were good, although this added to the accomodation cost.

Little Gem

What a gem ! Lovely room small but very comfortable with everything you need - great because door opens onto a courtyard which is brilliant when you have a dog with you. All the staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble - We dined in the bar and the food was exceptional - my pepper sauce was delicious. Breakfast was outstanding - would highly recommend this place. We will definitely be returning.

The Thames Head Inn is a great gem. It's about a 1 mile walk from the Kemble train station, I walked alongside the road since taxi service is scarce and had no problems. There aren't any other businesses nearby, so I ate dinner there as well (delicious) and paid for breakfast the next morning (also delicious). I hiked to the nearby source of the River Thames, which was neat to see. The room was clean, had a blackout curtain, and a private bathroom. The area was quiet overall and I didn't have any noise from my neighbors or the campers. Overall a really great find and I would definitely stay here again.
