My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms had all the expected amenities but could do with an update, which was disappointing. The service was a bit hit or miss with some frustrating instances, despite having another great stay overall. The location was stunning, particularly on a beautiful autumn day, but there were some issues with noise in riverside bedrooms. The dining had everything you wanted but lacked a certain level of privacy. Overall, it was a peaceful stay with a lovely setting.

The hotel is in a lovely property with some charming features but needs improvement in certain areas. The rooms are in need of upgrading, yet it was nice to have a bath and shower available. The service was a mix of forgetfulness but also genuine care from the staff. The location has potential but requires attention to details for a more positive first impression. The dining experience offered everything we needed, but there were some drawbacks. Overall, the hotel has its highs and lows, making it a decent choice with room for enhancement.

I stayed in a room facing the river, and the views were absolutely lovely. The room was large and dog friendly, which was a great bonus. The only downside was that it had two single beds put together.

The service was excellent overall. The staff were all very friendly, but I felt sorry for the waitress who brought breakfast to our room as she had to carry an extremely heavy tray. Providing her with a trolley would have been more practical.
