Pros:

Fabulous location, get a room with balcony overlooking the river. Lovely view and we saw Otters, dippers, wagtail, cormorant. Even a grass snake swimming in the nearby canal.
Lots to do close by with grade A landscape.
The hotel is full of character, clean comfortable, great staff, good food and full English breakfast or continental if you prefer. Great value given what's on offer.

Cons:

The car park is free for guests but quite tricky to find and has a steep access. Best to arrive during daylight hours given the canal on one side of the driveway.

We had a good time.
Pros:

Hot breakfast and fruit good.
Packaged croissants not good
Room was nice. (33)

Cons:

Evening meals rather bland.
Outside of the building by the canal is very dirty.
Looks like some fixtures and fittings could do with attention.
Parking is barely adequate and the track across the bridge is very rough.

Perfect comfortable getaway
Pros:

This hotel is charming. It has its own character. The location,the views,the staff and the food were great. We stayed 1 night to celebrate my partners 60th Birthday. The suite we stayed in was out of this world. Our outdoor balcony area had amazing views of the The Chainbridge and the River Dee. The staff made us feel very welcome and made sure we had an fabulous time. The food was excellent in the evening and a good hearty selection for breakfast 😋 The young lady and gent on both restaurant services were a total credit to the business. This hotel has its own personality. It is clean comfortable and cosy. Loved it and will make it back again sometime. Thank you to everyone for making our stay a wonderful memory.
