Wonderful Riverside Retreat

spacious room river view helpful staff
My Luxury Double Room River View was spacious. It included two separate sinks and a rainfall shower. I liked the excellent view of the river activities (I could watch the boats go by). The hotel position near the river was a great feature. Breakfast was plentiful. I especially appreciated the home-made muesli (I have gluten intolerance) as it saved me bringing my own cereal. The restaurant service was faultless. the food and wine were lovely. The restaurant itself is well appointed. The staff were helpful. Check-in was very pleasant. There was genuine interest in how my stay went (which was a nice touch). Lauren, Jane and Sam were very hospitable.
The housekeeping could improve. I noticed several trolleys and linens in the corridor (it looked a little untidy). I would expect higher standards for the price of the room.

Housekeeping left trolleys and linens in the corridor (it felt untidy).
