Disappointing to say the least
Pros:

The location is great. And staff friendly

Cons:

The hotel is in desperate need of TLC it’s scruffy and tired. The photographs of the hotel are clearly edited dramatically to make it look better than it is. The hotel pool is filthy I wouldn’t use it, the gym equipment is rusty. The breakfast is the worst I’ve ever seen. There was NO fruit! Only dried up croissants the cooked breakfast dripped in grease.
Not a 4 star hotel

Lovely place, very relaxed & pleasurable stay.
Pros:

Fab location for the town & river.
The restaurant was lovely and set out for cosy privacy. Fab snug to relax in & the place was set out well so it felt quiet mostly.

Cons:

The rooms are too warm & the air cooler doesn’t.
The bedroom doors bang every time someone goes in & out which disturbs into the night.

Relaxed atmosphere. Great location. Value for money. Polite staff.
Pros:

Quaint. Characterful. Double room was large enough. Leisure facilities were an added bonus.

Cons:

No lift to get to second floor. Noisy radiators not just in our room but also in other guests rooms as we overheard others mentioning it during breakfast.

Enjoyable stay
Pros:

We were in town for a trip to the RSC theatre on our wedding anniversary. we asked for a quiet room, which was exactly what we got. Room 121 was great for us. The king size bed was very comfy. A small box of chocs was left as welcome gift in room which was a nice touch. Thank you.
