Riverside Retreat

riverside trackroman bridgeroom characterfriendly staff
The track behind the building by the river was wonderful for a walk. I saw the remains of a Roman bridge and fort nearby, quite interesting. The room had real character, which I liked. I appreciated the friendly welcome from the staff.
I noticed the main hotel and bar could use some refurbishment.

I had Sunday lunch at the hotel restaurant and it was quite lovely. The breakfast offered many selections to choose from, and they seemed quite delicious. The pub has a limited dinner card, but there's ample choice.
