"VFM. Would recommend to anybody."

10.0

The room overlooked the river and was superb, while the sizeable cooked breakfast the next day (made at a time to suit me) made the stay even better VFM.

No faults at all.

"Overall, very happy with our stay. Lovely place."

10.0

Great vegetarian and vegan cooked breakfast. Delicious coffee. Very lovely looking place on the river. Room and bathroom very spacious, with good quality furniture.

Floor in our room quite dirty. I walked barefoot out of the shower to the room and my feet were covered in dirt/dust.
