Book a Spring/Summer Break in Marlow

Enjoy a staycation in Marlow, a Georgian market town, on the banks of the River Thames and the edge of the Chiltern Hills. Relax in waterside hotels and stroll along the Thames Path National Trail. Discover the boutique shops, pubs and restaurants, cafes and bistros in its historic streets.

Marlow is an ideal base to explore the area and there's plenty to do on the river nearby from boating to paddleboarding, or sit back and admire the view on a cruise along the Thames. 

Enjoy an exhilarating family adventure with a self-operated electric or rowing boat with The Little Green Boat Company. Whether hourly or half-day, the Thames becomes your playground. 

If you enjoy murder mysteries, take a look at the crimes set in and around Marlow. The latest is the Marlow Murder Club written and adapated for screen by Robert Thorogood.

There's plenty of choices for dining with Tom Kerridge's: The Butcher's Tap offering burgers and hotdogs, The Coach and The Hand & Flowers, the only pub in the UK with two Michelin stars. Or walk across the Grade 1 listed Marlow Suspension Bridge to Sindhu by Atul Kochhar at the Macdonald Compleat Angler. The Michelin-starred chef offers diners the very best of traditional Indian cuisine in a contemporary manner.
