A great view over the river from upstairs rooms
Pros:

Our room was a nice surprise, overlooking the river, newly furnished, light and spacious, a hidden gem.

Cons:

Not walking distance to the town centre but there is a restaurant and place for brekky. We booked a spa room but there wasn't anything provided to put in the bath, eg Salts, bubble bath.
