Enjoyable, great location, good food, comfortable accomodation!
Pros:

Great location for the National Water-sport Centre just down the road!

Very friendly hardworking staff despite the venue being extremely busy on the evening we arrived due to an event at the National Water-sports Centre.

The staff were a credit to the business and should be recognised by Marston’s for their outstanding service to customers in challenging circumstances!

Cons:

You forgot to prepare single bed for my kid. I had to complain about that to staff member in Restaurant. We have beet tired after long journey. The bed was made during our prebooked dinner in Gamston Lock restaurant. Booking was for 8.00 pm. Waiting time for a meal was more then 60min.
