Super relaxing overnight stay. Staff were brilliant, restaurant and reception, especially Ashley
Pros:

Pros:

The staff were very friendly and the location eas excellent with perfect scenery on the river thames.

Cons:

The only thing I didn't like was we chose a family room but it was a disabled room which the bathroom wasn't ideal for a person like me . For what you pay I was a little disappointed in the room.
