"Charming venue at a good price."

7.0

Location was great and it was a very charming property. Room was very nice compared to the cost of the stay.

Minor issues, Champions League final was on so the noise from the Bar up until 23:00 was very noticeable until it closed. Also, there was no hot water for a shower in the Morning, but as we were moving to a local wedding venue with accommodation it was no real issue for us.

I love staying here, I only do so on tough business nights, but it's so comfortable and chilled and I deserve it.

That there's no free parking or breakfast available.

Lovely cosy olde worlde room, spacious and comfortable. I had room number 2 overlooking the river

The pub toilets smelt dreadful, and parking opposite, even though cheap, was a phaff to sort

Nice room, comfortable, clean.

No breakfast. A dog barked non-stop for 90 minutes. Poor soundproofing.
