Nice hotel with good spa facilities. Restaurant was pleasant for dinner and breakfast. Parking free.

"Good value if you are willing to spend just a little more."

8.0

Very elegant surroundings, well appointed rooms, great food and a reasonably priced spa with a beautiful view of the river in a surprisingly quiet location considering that is so close to the town.

A couple of very minor maintenance issues (my friend’s shower bracket was loose, my door was a bit stiff to close, so really nothing serious), but I think people don’t report things either because they’re afraid they’ll be blamed, or, more likely, the good old British dislike of complaining!

Have stayed here a few times now and love this hotel

The staff in the spa are not helpful and are quite rude and this has been this way both times we have stayed, so we booked into another hotel for our second night stay
