    Very limited parking for a busy destination although we were lucky enough to find a space. Room was small but full of character and well equipped, nice shower room . I'm 6ft tall and found the bed a little too small although comfortable..

    Lovely position by the river , helpful and attentive staff , great breakfast choice .

    Wish I could have stayed longer!

    Exceptional care and attention by the staff. Ate here for dinner and they found a table in the sheltered area outside, even though we had not booked prior. Food was exceptional. Feather pillows and duvet. Powerful shower. Great breakfast included in the price. Will definitely stay again.

    Room was a little small but fine for what we needed. The pillows were feather so a little too flat.

    Good location, lovely staff and great breakfast, more choice than usual- freshly baked croissants and fresh fruit was a great touch. Comfy bed, good coffee machine and tea facilities in the room. Shower was great.

    Inevitably in a period property the bedrooms were small and we stayed during a heatwave when the duvets and bed linen were far too warm and heavy

    Charming old pub in a lovely position on the river, delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner. Charming, helpful staff.

    C18th buildings aren't designed for 30 degrees and while the fan was welcome, a window that only opened 2 inches wasn't

    Breakfast service was a little bit slow, especially as we had filled in the form the night before with timings. But it really didn't bother us at or detract from our experience.

    We had a very lovely lunch outside under the canopy next to the river. Delicious food and wine, cooked breakfast was very good too. Room very clean and Bed was very comfortable. All the amenities were great, and very good value for money. Would stay again.

    The rooms are small and the bed is just a regular double. Be careful if you are tall as the ceilings are low! Unfortunately, there was no shower gel in the container in the bathroom.

    Lovely location and the staff were really helpful and professional. Lovely coffee machine in the room with plenty of choices of tea. The restaurant was excellent with lovely food choices and great service.

    I didn't feel l had much privacy because my room was facing the car park and was above the restaurant. I had to pull the curtains to change during the day. The bathroom could benefit with having disposable sanitary bags.

    Breakfast was great especially the Garden Breakfast. The whole building was aesthetically pleasing. It had a lot of character and being by the river was superb. The food in the restaurant was lovely and the staff were brilliant. I liked the layout of the room and the bathroom was a good size.
