If that way again on business I'd certainly stop here again
Pros:

The room and bed were very comfortable. Excellent shower. The evening meals were delicious with a great choice. The beef pie was to die for. The Bombardier bitter was superb, a well kept pint.

Cons:

No issues

Good place for cyclists and walkers to stay.
Pros:

We are mature cyclists on a linear journey. This was a convenient place to stay in terms of distance and location.
Outwardly the building looks more mature than us but inside it appeared to be thoroughly refurbished.
Meals were good, service friendly . Bike storage good.

Cons:

Nothing really

Good stay
Pros:

Good location close to town centre. Parking. Very helpful and friendly staff. Good service. Pleasant stay in an interesting and attractive place close to the river for walks on the Thames Path.

Cons:

Bath needed a bit of minor maintenance. Shower was a bit full-on and not very controllable.

Excellent venue location and food don’t think we got the room for which we paid
Pros:

Clean tidy good service nice lunch in bar one of best burgers

Cons:

We booked a superior room pictures showed a bay window - we were put in attic with a small double bed !!! It was only for one night but why do people think they can take advantage of short stayers because they rarely complain like us ?

Adequate for one night
Pros:

The hotel has some nice traditional, beamed features. The bedroom was small but adequate. The bath had great running water, the bed and pillows were very comfortable and some traditional features to decorate the room.
Breakfast was the norm, of fruit, cereals, English plus kippers if you wanted.
The courtyard was very pleasant to relax with a drink before moving elsewhere within the village.

Cons:

Sometimes found the room room key a little difficult to insert but otherwise no real issues in regards our stay.
