We enjoyed the terrace over looking the river. It was handy for us to enjoy our meals out there. They even had a community area with a BBQ and table and chairs. The room had everything we needed. The bathroom was exceptional. We hope to be back Neighbour next door who appeared to not like our soft talking on our terrace. Can't please everyone
