Pleasant stay
Was pleasant. Whilst by a busyish road, restaurant and bar at rear overlooking river with wildlife which was pleasant. Restaurant had a brief but competent menu, with several vegetarian/ vegan options. Very friendly staff. Room was small in terms of floorspace but otherwise perfectly comfortable with bath and good sized bed. Cooked buffet breakfast. Felt modern overall. Would be happy to stay again

The hotel exceeded my expectations. The room overlooking the river was clean, quiet and very comfortable for a good night's sleep. All the staff were exceptional and welcoming and the breakfast included a wide range of options to cater for all needs. A good end to our holiday.

Our stay was excellent in every way. In my last review I said that the breakfast sausages were not entirely to my taste, but a week later they were very good.
