Great food, average rooms

Really cool place on the water and the food was very good. I was out early in the morning, but was given a nice breakfast to take away. The rooms are definitely an after thought. My room was cold, and no heater. I found an ironing board myself by taking for it. Bed wasn’t great either.

What a wonderful place. The room was large and spacious with a wonderful view of the river. Meals were flavourful and plenty. I genuinely say that the breakfast was the BEST I have had in all my years of business travel.

Nice place, great staff

Staff were lovely but bit confusing as to where to check in. Room was nice, spacious and clean, but accommodation areas (including stairways etc) could all do with a bit of sanding down and paint touch ups (peeling paint in bathroom, scuffs on walls…) Not a bad place though, would stay again

Lovely large room and en-suite. Dog-friendly. Staff are really friendly and helpful. Fabulous breakfast. Difficult to open windows and the rooms are accessible from the back of the pub so you have to go outside if you want to go to the pub which isn’t ideal if it’s cold/rainy. Overall though a fabulous stay.
