Good stay, even if room and some facilities a little dated. Nice breakfast
Pros:

Good gluten free options at breakfast, with very helpful staff

Cons:

Car park, small for the size of the hotel and didn't help that some cars took up more than one spaces.

Our stay was terrible
Pros:

Lovely location and setting

Cons:

Booked an ‘executive suite’ the room was dirty, the taps leaked, it smelled like wet dog, we were given a really cheap tower fan for cooling in the middle of summer. The taps in the bathroom moved and the shower screen didn’t shut properly. The bathroom was dirty, the towels provided were dirty and the sofa in the room was disgusting. The bed was extremely uncomfortable.

Nice location and bar, but too many small flaws to merit a return trip
Pros:

Good location, drinks by the canal were very good, courteous and helpful staff. Good bar for evening drinks.

Cons:

In our twin room, one bed had a summer duvet but the other had a thick winter one. Terrible night’s sleep as a result. Pillows were of varying quality, and one pillow case hadn’t been cleaned properly and had mould. Dinner in the restaurant was varied - terrible main course but excellent dessert.

A super nice location, just let us down a little bit with pricey food options. After we paid £177 for room for a night.
Pros:

Friendly staff
The breakfast buffet was really good.
Great views out the window

Cons:

The pricing of the food was crazy. I ordered the spring rolls as a light bite and got one roll and a little pot of sauce. And it was £8.90.
Drinks were outrageously expensive also. It’s like they want you to go find somewhere else to eat and drink.
