Good hotel, clean and free parking is a bonus, would be great if they had refillable shampoo/shower gels to be more sustainable than the disposable mini bottles.

Lovely place to stay if you're simply looking to stay somewhere that's quiet, where you're able to spend loads of time meditating and being still, or one with nature ♡ Beautiful interior, very classy and old school.

A beautiful hotel

A lovely stay at The Petersham. Would have easily given 5 stars if some sort of air conditioning was available. Mini heatwave whilst we were there and unfortunately the fan available was not adequate for overnight. I understand it is most probably a listed building and regular air conditions would not be appropriate, but free standing units are available, ie Dyson

Rooms were very comfortable and food was excellent. Breakfast was super tasty and parking was plenty. Staff exceptionally friendly and accommodating. One thing they need to install is air conditioning in the rooms - it was not yet peak summer and the rooms were already over-heating. Thanks for the great stay and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others. The views the hotel has over the estate and river are also unmatched - great for special events.

Lovely location and view. Breakfast was lovely. Only issue is that many of the bedroom have showers in bath, which is something I don’t like.

The staff and property were extremely professional and very well maintained. It maintained many of its historic charm while it appears they have had a recent modernization. Unfortunately our room was unsatisfactory; I had purchased a Jr Suite. The suite was awkwardly built. It had a very small seating area and a bedroom that held a king size bed, but there was little space around it. The room (121) is immediately on top of reception, and faces the parking lot, with no view of the river. We heard conversations from reception until 10pm, drunken returns to the hotel until 1am, and the gentle ring of the flag halyard banging against the flag pole in the wind all night Our room had NO AIR CONDITIONING. Fortunately, it was a cool night, and we had to keep the windows open all night, exacerbating to noise issue further. The hotel is beautiful, staff incredible, and location ideal. Simply make sure you get a suite on the second floor or above.

Beautiful property at a beautiful location

Just an overnight stay, but with time to walk in the adjacent commons along the Thames. The bed was a little hard, but otherwise good bedding and linens. Restaurant staff could use a little training in providing good and respectful service. They seem a little rough for the quality of Petersham. But maybe you are going for a pub atmosphere?

The sound of nature

The hotel is in the heart of nature and it is classic luxury. The rooms overlooking the river have a beautiful terrace where you can enjoy the most beautiful times. The bathroom is very clean and large. There is great heating, no cooling, and I think it is not needed. The bed comfort is quite good. The restaurant is delicious. The reception is friendly. Mrs. Eva, thank you for her service and cooperation. I think it is one of the most beautiful hotels in the area.
