"Very Good"

7.0

We were in Willow room which was well furnished with character, balcony overlooking the river, good ensuite, and comfy bed. Good fresh cooked breakfast. There is plenty of car parking.

Slow check-in. Due to "old" building the odd creaky floorboard and not good if accessible access needed.

"Lovely pub with comfortable rooms"

7.0

Beautiful pub right on the river. Our bedroom was very attractive, well appointed and comfortable.

The bathroom needed a bit of attention- the flusher handle came off the loo and one of the taps was loose.

"A pleasant and comfortable nights stay!!"

10.0

We was warmly welcomed and staff were so attentive Check in was easy The Gin & Tonic family room was spacious for 3 adults The room was clean. Beds very comfy, a little hot but I’d brought my own little fan with me! They had put some balloons in the room as it was my husbands birthday!! The bathroom is tired looking and could do with a little re-vamp but saying that didn’t lower my view of the place. Lovely view of the river Food was great. Hubby and I had pizza and it was delicious. Again staff very polite, jolly and attentive. This place is a real little gem 💛
