Tolle Lage. In einem alten Fachwerkhaus (niedrige Balken, enge Treppen - muss man wissen und lieben). Zimmer sind hinten raus mit Blick auf die Riverside.

"Fantastic value and charming room"

9.0

Our second visit and we were just as pleased with our charming, spacious room and spotless bathroom. Thoughtful hospitality tray included biscuits and bottled water. Air con kept the room nice and cool - we arrived on one of the hottest days of the year. Excellent comfy bed and pillows.

Smelly toilets at entrance to rooms and quite a few stairs to reach them. Absence of a shower mat in bath. Lighting was a bit dim. A second chair might be useful and perhaps a rack to put suitcase on. The room overlooks the bar garden so it could be noisy with the window open

Lovely, hospitable staff, beautiful original beams in the room. Good air con.

Tired decor. Bed was not very comfortable and squeaked every time we moved. Bathroom door did not close.
