the hotel sits right by the river (it's so peaceful!) and the gardens are lovely. the hotel served great breakfast and i found the staff very friendly and professional.
the service felt a bit slow on one afternoon. i also noticed that the butter provided with the scones was too cold and hard to spread.

My Classic Double Room featured lovely decor. I found the bed very comfortable, which ensured restful nights. The hotel provided fresh milk and fruit daily in the room, a good touch.
The hotel car park was full upon arrival, also later due to external visitors. This made parking a bit difficult.
