Really nice place to stay, just a few minor issues that would be easily remedied to enhance the stay

Pros: Really nice place to stay with friendly staff, the room was nice and spacious with a large bathroom. Plenty of parking and a nice riverside walk nearby. Good food, we ate in the restaurant one night, and the breakfasts were lovely. The bar area was very welcoming and a nice place to enjoy food and drink. Lovely outside areas with string lights and a nice courtyard.

Cons: Unfortunately, the room was a bit on the cold side, the radiator was barely warm and the mattress was a bit on the hard side for us. Strangely the toiletries for the bath and shower were fixed to the wall at the shower end of the bath, so if you were taking a bath you couldn't reach any of them, they need moving to the middle or just have free standing mini size products! We did ask for more teabags for the room, via reception which we didn't get.

Friendly staff, comfy bed, good food!

Pros: Beautiful room, with a huge bed and great bathroom with walk in shower. Staff were very freindly. I only ate in the Pub and the Ham egg and chips were very good and the deserts looked good but i didnt partake. WIfi worked well and i was able to sit and work in teh pub with no issues. Even had a happy hour on for food and drink.

Cons: Quite close to a main road but it was minimal noise as they have double glazed windows, so not a lot to dislike.
