We liked to stay there over the weekend. They have a beautiful garden overlooking the river, that was the best part! Room size was good and the bed and pillows comfortable.

The hotel is an old property with our room in an annex attached to the main building with access via a courtyard. Our large first floor room was comfortable although a touch noisy with road traffic in the morning.

A real hidden gem!

This is one of the nicest hotels I've stayed at, and I've stayed at a lot of hotels! We had such a lovely room that had the stream running past the window. The beds were super comfy and the room had lots of plug sockets which seems rare in hotels! It was a Greene King but the food was better than any I've been too and reasonably priced. Service was quite slow considering how quiet it was but the staff were very friendly. The pictures online don't do this place justice, a real hidden gem!

The staff were all lovely, couldn't offer enough help. The restaurant food in the evening had good choice and what we had was good quality, we enjoyed this, we also ate out in the evening where there was a good choice of different restaurants to choose from. I am not one to complain but our stay was for 4 nights of which our room was only serviced once, we had to use towels provided for all of our stay. Housekeeping needs to be managed as the carpets by the skirting boards were full of dirt, you could see this standing up. Room has net curtains which required washing. I am not picking at this with a microscope, it was obvious. Linen for beds and towels were spotless and looked new. I just think it is attention to the smaller details that need picking up. This hotel is friendly, attractive and comfortable, I would recommend it to my friends and family these smaller issues would not put me off.

Disappointing

Nice building , staff pleasant and helpful , food general pub food , breakfast very good . My only real issue was the cleanliness , there were dead flies in all the windowsills , the shower heads were full of limescale and looked grim , shower surround had previous guests hair on it , chipped cups for coffee in the bedrooms and wine glasses in the bar cloudy and looked unclean , sink in bathroom had a build up of limescale , the paintwork on walls and doors all need redoing looked tatty , i am not high maintenance , and have stayed in many Greene Kings , this sadly was not upto the standard of the others we have stayed in .
