"Very pleasant stay."

8.0

It was a good location with river views from the restaurant and bar at the rear. The staff were friendly and polite. The roast dinner on Sunday was good. The breakfast was very nice but could have been hotter.

"Super location and value"

8.0

Restaurant staff were a delight and would have given full marks if scoring on rooms, decor, restaurant & their staff.

The receptionist in hotel was rude and abrupt. Really not a good representation of this property.

"More than adequate"

Really enjoyed the food I- both in the evening and for breakfast. Also the "wine by the glass" selection was pretty good.

Room decor a little dated.

"Really lovely. Evening meal and breakfast fab. Great value"

10.0

Great setting peaceful and relaxing.

As a resident of the hotel the down side was you were not able to sit by the river to have a drink unless you were eating. Which we were in the evening. Just could have been delivered in a nicer way.

"The hotel was adequate but a little tired and could do with a refurbish."

6.0

The building was pleasant. Plenty of parking in nice surroundings. The bed was extremely comfortable.

The room was dark. The bathroom door didn't shut. The evening meal was disappointing.
