The Upper Reaches, Abingdon/Oxford

Hotel Description

Set within an old corn mill with a working waterwheel, this traditional hotel enjoys a tranquil setting on an island between the historically significant Abbey Ruins and the banks of the Thames.

Overlooking the River Thames, The Upper Reaches is an ideal choice for a relaxing break in the historic county of Oxfordshire, with the quaint village of Dorchester, Henley and Marlow all nearby. For shoppers, Oxford, Reading, Bicester Retail village and Abingdon are just a short drive away through the beautiful countryside.

With its idyllic water-front setting and spectacular views, the Upper Reaches Hotel is well integrated into the life of the river, and as such can offer mooring for up to 6 boats.

The hotel contains one of the town’s most ancient relics, a mill wheel, with origins dating back to Abingdon Abbey in 1200 - the wheel is still in operation and can be viewed from the restaurant.
