Local Accommodation

How it works

During the Regatta, many local families generously open their homes and welcome visiting crews to stay with them. This is often on a bed-and-breakfast basis, where the crews live alongside their host family; we also have a limited number of houses that are let in their entirety.

We have a huge range of housing available each year, and we take the time to match visiting crews to the right host in the right location to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The majority of crews are accommodated within a 30-minute walk of the Boat Tents, with others choosing to stay in the outlying villages (transport will be required).

Crews should expect to pay anywhere from £40 - £70 per person per night for their accommodation, depending on a variety of factors including proximity to the Boat Tents and facilities offered by the host. Payment should be made directly to the host to confirm the booking; we recommend that international payments be made using Wise or Paypal, which are often cheaper and quicker than an international bank transfer.

UK crews

The Accommodation Office provides UK Crews with a list of hosts offering housing. Crews are encouraged to contact the host of their choice directly.

This service is only available to UK Crews once they have submitted their Entry online and it has been approved. The Accommodation List will be emailed automatically.

overseas crews

Overseas Crews are given priority in finding local accommodation during their stay in Henley and are welcome to use our Accommodation Office which provides support free of charge. We aim to connect you with a suitable host and you take it from there, working out the exact details with your host.
