Amazing stay, great breakfast and lovely room overlooking the river. Plenty of tea coffee and milk.

10/10 Exceptional

All staff were very helpful and courteous, nothing was too much trouble. Adapted meals to suit me and my young granddaughter. The swimming pool and adjacent outdoor play area was much appreciated. The whole hotel was clean and well presented - wish more hotels could be as good. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning again next year.
Verified review

6/10 Good

Great location and lovely room. The public areas were noisy, unkept, outdated - and just didn’t flow. Finding a quiet spot for a drink was difficult but then when we found it the sofas were old, shabby and deep - and tables were so far away that you had to get up to reach them. The hotel pool was nice but the changing room floor was filthy and needed a towel to stand on as well as one to dry! Breakfast was so noisy and an assault on the senses. The music was perhaps loud to drown out the noise of the guests, but overall nothing felt relaxing. Staff were nice but not enough to make worth a return visit.

8/10 Very good

Beautiful setting and well maintained restaurant and common areas. Breakfast was great! Rooms were very clean - our only complaint is the lack of air conditioning even though there was a unit in the room it wasn’t unusable. It was 30 degrees making the room unbearable. The windows also didn’t open properly and had to be propped open with glasses. Otherwise it was a beautiful hotel and we would stay again.

I took my son and daughter in law away for there wedding anniversary with my two grandaughters… I had a dog friendly room on the first floor which was nice n airy as it was a hot day n night but had the window open … my sons room was on the 1st floor the widows are old each they didn’t have any security on them my 4 year old grandaughter was staying in the room with them I paid for an extra suppliement for a bed for her it was placed under the window… they could not have the window open with a four year old in the room incase she fell out of the window .. it was like a sauna in the room so much so that my daughter in law couldn’t sleep and went home early whilst my son said he had the worst sleep ever .. you maybe need to bear this in mind wen putting small children in rooms on the 1 st and 2 nd floor … it’s a massive health n safety risk … maybe place them on the ground floor instead and definitely don’t put a bed under a each window for a child to climb out of… also the hotel is dog friendly .. there is a spectators bit so I went in there to watch my kids n in pool I sat down … there were other people there then a blonde lady older that the other staff shouted over you can’t come in here with that fog infront of everyone it was embarrassing she could have just come over n discreetly said I’m sorry but no dogs are allowed in this area … Apart from that our stay was amazing staff can not do enough for you.. the place has everything you need we stayed the day padleboarding

Great place, friendly staff, easy parking and good facilities. Rooms were way to warm and uncomfortable to sleep in - AC not operational & the fans provided did little to alleviate the stuffiness.
