Pros:

The setting is perfect especially when the weather is good

Cons:

We have been before but this time we were quite disappointed with the menu it has changed since we last came and am afraid we only ate there one night apart from the price has risen a lot there wasn't much to our taste which was a shame
The choice at breakfast was excellent however

We will aim to not have this room next time we come 🤞
Pros:

Lovely setting and position, friendly staff and good food

Cons:

Our room was a bit noisy as we overlooked the roof with air con/boilers etc. so it made
the room hot as couldn’t keep windows open, plus had to dodge the beam to get to windows

thoroughly nice place to stay, would recommend it to anyone who wanted a comfortable, relaxed break
Pros:

the breakfast is excellent with a good choice, both hot & cold. The evening meals are also very, very good, and the restaurant overlooking the river makes for a lovely relaxed atmosphere. The rooms are clean, comfortable, spacious and bright with lovely river views and the hotel is conveniently situated for access to the town centre. It is peaceful and quiet in the evenings and overnight. The staff are always helpful, professional and polite.

Cons:

there was nothing to dislike
