This is a VERY picturesque place to stay. We would definitely stay here again.
Pros:

This was such a lovely place to stay at. The setting is so peaceful and beautiful. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We paid a little more to stay in a room with a balcony out to the water; I definitely recommend doing that. We could hear the water at night which ended up being great white noise for us. Another nice thing about the property is that it is in a short walking distance from the Horseshoe Falls that we wanted to see.

Cons:

The GPS didn't take us straight to the parking lot of the hotel. The road signs brought us to an area that was above the hotel. We had to walk there and ask the receptionist how to get to the correct location. She got us all set.
We were unable to have dinner there due to something with the kitchen. The receptionist did provide some suggestions of where we could go in town.

A very pleasant place to relax.
Pros:

A good choice of breakfast and the cooked breakfast was done especially for our choice of items.
The whole hotel was somewhere you could just relax and do your own thing. The evening meal was good and the setting by the river Dee is very special. All the staff looked after us well and made us feel at home.

Cons:

Surroundings beautiful hotel staff brilliant room a bit small.
Pros:

Breakfast good but we had a dog friendly room which would have been OK if we had a small dog but we have a collie so the room was a bit cramped. We had to go elsewhere to eat dinner , they did worn us that the kitchen wouldn't be serving dinner but still a pain.

Cons:

As above

My partner and I had the weekend away we needed, rhay at the end of the say was all that counts
Pros:

Room on arrival was amazing, point to note a river view is pretty much a thing on both sides of thos hotel as it has a small Canal one side and the amazing river Dee the other.

This amazing room however had an adjoining door (Room 40). We could hear every word the woman was saying next door that's not what we were after when we booked a weekend away from the family and kids back home.

The staff are amazing and very very efficient both in thos issue and around the hotel and restaurant.

We were given a much smaller room that was not upto rhe value of the room or stay we expected however, we got our privacy and had a great stay.

Cons:

Disappointed we needed to move rooms for the reason mentioned above.
The room we stayed in had a damp smell in the entrance hall and was not great in comparison to those in the main hotel.

Great stay
Pros:

We arrived early and our room was ready and we were allowed in which was really helpful. There was free parking throughout, which was great.
Our room, with a lovely big balcony, was very comfortable.
We got a bus from outside the hotel into the town for an evening meal. We walked back along the canal.
The breakfast was very good.

Lovely as always
Pros:

Stayed a few times, the location and rooms with a balcony bring us back each time. Easy parking and just a really nice place to stay.

Cons:

Breakfast really lets it down I’m afraid, it’s better now they have an English breakfast but it’s not the best I’ve had. We had missing items
