Great find!
Hotel staff were friendly and attentive. They have a shuttle bus in the evening if you don’t fancy the short walk in to town. Hotel was exceptionally clean. Shower wasn’t great, but did the job. Excellent value for money.

Charming and comfy hotel.
The hotel is full of character and the staff were very friendly. The room was clean, spacious and comfy. We had a lovely view of the river. Breakfast was a self service buffet with plenty of choice. Unfortunately, the eggs and mushrooms were cold due to a malfunction of the heated container. However, as soon as we pointed it out, we were given freshly cooked replacements and our breakfast cost refunded. Impeccable service!

Great surroundings and building
This isn’t your average everyday square hotel. This place is an old manor house and it is truly some beautiful English heritage. The room are different with sloped ceilings in some rooms but regardless, it is wonderful. Great bar and sitting area over looking the river. (Clues in the name). Free parking!! I didn’t eat here or k is if they even do food but the location is not too far from town. The have a free shuttle to town but the walk is about 10 minutes and that’s where the awesome cathedral is located too. Nice town. Quiet and friendly as towns go. Reminds me of a college town. Definitely worth the stay.

Unfortunately the restaurant was closed for refurbishment. The stairs were quite a challenge for older people The room heating was not easy to adjust and the shower was difficult to control. The staff were lovely and cleanliness was excellent. The location was to die for with superb views of the iconic Cathedral. When fully refurbished it will be a five star stay.
