Generally good.
Pros:

The staff were exceptionally, helpful and friendly. The meals we had in the restaurant were good but limited. I’m a vegetarian who is not fond of curries or spicy dishes.

Cons:

The bathroom too small and a shower over a bath is not ideal for me. The water pressure was so low the shower was more of a trickle than a cleansing shower.

10/10 would recommend, will stay there again!
Pros:

The outdoor bar area is so beautiful, we had food and it was lovely, the bar staff were all really friendly. It’s right next to the river which was stunning. There was also a large car park behind the hotel and the parking fee was covered as we were staying over night. The staff were also really helpful and informative when we checked in!! 10/10

Cons:

No notes, it’s was a lovely stay and the perfect location for exploring and adventures.

Fab location but quite expensive
Pros:

Staff were super friendly. Location is superb! Breakfast great but should be included in the high price.

Cons:

Breakfast should be included. The rooms are expensive for what you get. Rooms could do with some updating. Showers over a bath need updating. For this price point I would expect a walk in shower.
