    cozy evening
    delicious pie
    relaxing terrace
    limited pub hours

    We had a cozy evening by the fire and enjoyed a delicious steak and ale pie during our stay. The sun terrace is perfect for relaxing, and the garden area is a great spot to unwind. Just a heads up, the pub has limited hours, so check ahead for opening times! 😊

    river view
    historic decor
    water issues

    Loved the stunning river view from the room and the quaint historic decor provided a unique charm.

    Hot water issues plagued each day of the stay, making showers a real gamble. The shower and sink drained poorly, and the presence of black mildew on the shower hose was quite off-putting. Breakfast suffered from limited options, small portions, and cold food, which hindered our plans for dinner there later. Noise from neighboring rooms, particularly heavy snoring, could disrupt a peaceful night’s rest.

    stunning scenery
    overwhelmed staff
    disorganized bar

    Stunning scenery with exceptional local ales on tap.

    I faced several issues during my stay. The staff seemed overwhelmed by the few guests, which resulted in lengthy wait times for service. the bar area felt disorganized and was often closed at times, limiting my options for socializing.

    comfortable bed
    outdated documentation

    The room and en-suite were nicely bright, though

    the soundproofing could use some improvement. The bed was comfortable, and I appreciated the local beers. After enjoying a decent dinner and a bit of a letdown at breakfast, I found the overall experience memorable, with helpful staff.

    comfy bed
    outside noise
    cleaning details

    I stayed in the Deluxe Double Room with Bath for 2 nights. The river view was stunning, and the decor added a nice historic touch. The shower was great, and the bed was super comfy. I loved the clean vibe of the room. there was a bit of noise from outside during the night, which was a tad distracting.
