Very clean all round. Big TV which makes a change from the little ones in most places.
Staff very good. Bathroom good but in our room the rain shower head needed attention has it looked like several holes were blocked and it sprayed everywhere.
Only small complaint is if we had the bedroom window open the wind was noisy thro the bedroom door (whistled). It’s also a pity you have to go outside to access the bar and restaurant from the hotel side, poor design. Hotel, food and staff excellent

Especially as we arrived late on the first night. Breakfast was average. Would not stay here again

8/10 Very good
Lovely location by a river. Property is well maintained and the guest rooms have been decorated to a good standard. Customer service was variable and we were left with the impression that the bar and restaurant were the primary focus of the business. We were not made to feel welcome when we arrived and made to feel that our presence was inconvenient There was no allocated parking for overnight guests and no-one bothered to explain anything or offered to help with our bags. Dinner was lovely and the service was very good, but breakfast seemed to be too much effort. We would not return.
