Highly recommend
Pros:

We really wish we could have stayed longer than 1 night at this lovely hotel! From the moment we arrived, we received a very warm and friendly welcome. Staff were really thoughtful and extremely courteous.
Our room was spacious and cool and looked out onto the river. We greatly appreciated the very kind gift left in our room, in celebration of our Golden Wedding anniversary. Such a surprise and a very kind and thoughtful gesture.
Breakfast was excellent and the restaurant very cool and airy, which was wonderful as it was very hot outside.
There was a very comfortable outside terrace/courtyard area, almost like a garden room. Very relaxing!
We loved every moment of our stay and would love to go back again soon. Thank you so much.

Nice hotel - spoilt for me by in appropriate very loud conversations by breakfast staff.
Pros:

Nice hotel - very inappropriate conversation by breakfast staff on 2 days. I will write to hotel as writing content here would be very unfair.

Worth all those pennies.
Pros:

Amazing location for regatta attendees (I was coaching during practice week). And the AC is amazing in case of a historic heat wave (four days of 100 degree heat!). Plus the bar makes a truly fantastic Tanqueray martini.

Cons:

Great property. No complaints. Didn’t eat at the restaurants so can’t speak to those. The shower head was weirdly low in my room. Seems like an easy fix to make the shower more user friendly. But overall fantastic.
