A Good Stay by the River

river view extra touches
Our room overlooked the river and also the cottages. The bed was comfy, and the bathroom was airy and bright. I enjoyed the individual service, especially when the chef checked the menu due to my vegetarian preferences.
I felt the main courses were expensive. The price should better reflect the actual serving.
Dining
10/10
The food presentation is superb. I enjoyed a delicious 5-course meal. Every course was comparable to meals I've had in London and Paris, with adventurous flavors. The dishes feature homemade, locally sourced ingredients.
Location

The hotel sits next to a lovely river. Full glass sliding doors offer a view from the dining room. The view would be perfect during the warmer months. This location is ideal.

great view warm welcome overpriced starters high price
The location has great views. The room i stayed in was spacious and had everything i wanted. the cleanliness was also spot on. i was greeted with a warm welcome.
Starters seemed a bit overpriced. They were nice but not really worth £12. i thought the main courses at £20+ were not worth it either
