Henley on Thames is a small town with limited hotel and B&B facilities. However, crews often stay with host families in Henley or nearby.
HWR can assist you in finding a crew host family. If you have any questions e-mail the crew liaison at crew@hwr.org.uk, or fill out our international crew Accommodation Request form
The crew liaison has visited each house to verify details and meet potential crew hosts, in order to best help match crews with appropriate lodgings. Housing options span the full range from sprawling to basic and can accommodate two to 16 people. Rooms are generally shared, and often beds are shared. Generally, the closer a house is to the town centre, the smaller the house, although many large houses are within a 15-minute walk of the centre. Note, however, that it is about a 20-minute walk from the market square at the centre of the town to the launching and landing area for the regatta.
Housing prices are approximately £40 per person, per night, including breakfast. Some places provide access to the kitchen to prepare an evening meal, but this is increasingly less common.
