Situated in a quintessential English village, this picturesque welcoming pub is the destination for anyone requiring R&R within beautiful calm surroundings. We have stayed in both the cottages and the pub rooms; finding both in keeping with village theme, spacious, clean and fully equipped. We were welcomed by all staff. Found all staff that we encountered to be friendly, professional and go out of their way to accommodate any requirements. The pub is a must for walkers. We walked to the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Wind Mill, Goodnight Mr Thom’s house, Vicar of Dibley church and village, Turville Manor, Henley and Marlowe. You can choose ‘flat’ or ‘hill’ option. The food at The Stag and Huntsman was/is beyond exceptional, it is of the highest quality. I would highly recommend including breakfast and staying for tea. The garden area is tranquil to eat in. There is a bar area to enjoy a relaxed pint, a sofa reading area and plenty of benches around the village to sit and drink a cup of tea on. The Village Store is a must too! If you love Miss Marple, Poirot, Midsummer Murders, Charge of the Light Brigade, Goodnight Mr Thom, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Vicar of Dibley - this is the village for you. The Thames River walk is just through 3 fields and a lovely flat walk to Henley.

The bathroom we had didn’t have a black out curtain just a net curtain and the shower flooded as it wasn’t draining. We told the team about both issues and they were brilliant as they offered us a different room

Fantastic staff who can’t do enough to make you feel welcome and comfortable. The location is absolutely gorgeous and the breakfast was excellent.

Perfect pub with rooms, full of charm and in the most traditional, quaint little village. Breakfast is also cracking! Perfect for our stay, we had a great experience in one of the rooms above the pub, was great!

The manager told me that a refurbishment programme is planned and I look forward to seeing the upgraded bedrooms.

Received a lovely welcome after a late arrival. The manager was super-kind. Also great to have a coffee machine in the room! I loved the location, in a small privately owned hamlet outside Henley. I can’t wait to come back with my husband and explore properly.

the village of Hambledon was so beautiful. It was like being on a film set (which I believe it is filmed regularly) It was so quaint with lovely walks. Close to Henley on Thames and easy to get a taxi there. Gorgeous beer garden and lovely food and friendly staff.

Didn't like is too strong a sentence., more observations. The Stag has just changed hands so there are some, small, signs of new practices being put in place which lead to very minor hicups occasionally. If you're staying more than a couple of days it would be good to have a menue change.

The location, superb, in a very pretty village. You can see why it's so often used as a film location. Very dog friendly our big girl was always offered water inside or in the garden.The staff: Shout out to Efren, Rupert and the "Uni girls" who looked after us so well.

very nice accommodation in a lovely village and good food.

the extra addition of a shower would have been nice, but going back to a bath was good fun

The room was spacious, traditional but not old looking, very comfortable for what we needed, the attention from the staff was great, so kind, considerate and nothing was too much trouble for them, not just with us but other people too, very impressed

The village is beautiful. The food was very tasty. The staff was kind and friendly.

It would be good to have a few more choices in each section of the evening menu. If you stay more than one night as I did it is a little limiting but still very good quality.

The room and facilities were excellent, and the staff were very friendly. The pub was very pet friendly which was my main reason for staying there. The evening dinner quality was good, and the portion size was just right.

Some dusty corners in places in our room.

The staff were super helpful and very friendly. We really enjoyed our breakfast - the coffee could have been a bit stronger though. Very nice room. The place has a great ambiance.

Breakfast, served with a cheery smile, was the best we have experienced in a pub/hotel for many a year. The room was on the small side but nicely refurbished, the bathroom had clearly been modernised fairly recently but in a style and quality to match the ambiance of the property.
