The Upper Reaches Hotel
The Upper Reaches Hotel, Abingdon
With its tranquil island settings and relaxed contemporary feel, the Upper Reaches offers affordable luxury and easy access to historical sites such as ancient Oxford, Blenheim Palace and Abingdon Abbey.

Situated alongside the ancient Abbey stream, the hotel’s main feature is its unique island setting. The Upper Reaches’ own private moorings allow guests to take advantage of trips up the river towards Oxford; stroll to the Abingdon Lock to see the boats meander their way down the reaches; or simply relax and watch the waters run by, while enjoying a cool drink or tea on the hotel’s Café Terrace. In the evening visitors can also sample the outstanding cuisine of the Stream Restaurant which offers the best of formal dining in a relaxed casual atmosphere besides the hotel’s working water wheel.
Small enough to feel exclusive, yet experienced enough to handle any requirements, the Upper reaches is ideal for the day visitors, corporate guests and wedding parties alike. With its 31 beautifully styled bedrooms, presented in both modern and classical style, and equipped with all modern conveniences, the hotel offers a winning combination of best service and unforgettable experience, regardless of the occasion.
