A nice place to stay
Took a little bit of a gamble after reading some of the reviews but very glad we did. Yes, the hotel could do with a bit of tlc in places but, on the whole, it’s a very pleasant place to stay, excellent staff and very good food. Thoroughly recommended

Needs updating
Maybe I got a bad bedroom but I was not impressed with this hotel. Carpet was dirty, paint work chipped, nail in wall but picture missing, bed squeaked. Had to go up 1 flight of stairs to bedroom along a corridor then down another flight of stairs, with luggage is not ideal (no lift).
Not a hotel I would return to - I did not sleep well because my room did not feel clean, I did mention this to reception but was advised some rooms had been updated and had new carpet and some hadn't.

Fabulous setting for a hotel. The hotel itself was nice but in desperate need of redecoration. Wallpaper hanging off the wall in the corridor and rooms whilst comfy and adequate do need refreshing.

lovely hotel with comfortable clean rooms and helpful, pleasant staff. Dinner menu quite limited and stayed the same the whole week. That was the only downside to our stay, which we really enjoyed

Thoroughly enjoyable weekend
The hotel is in a fabulous position at the side of a river and our room had an amazing view over the garden to the river and bridge. It was a nice spacious room with good contents, from an ironing board to biscuits, and I would be happy to stay there again.
The food was excellent, with good quality food and very good cooking. The Sunday roast was a treat and the breakfast was really good.
