The hotel is in an excellent position near the town centre but with an easy to access large car park. The staff are unassuming and helpful. We ate in the restaurant and the food and wines were excellent. The bedrooms were warm and comfortable with attractive traditional furnishings and immaculate en suites. The style is old empire and charming.

The lounge, bistro and restaurant were lovely. Staff were excellent. The food was extremely good. The bedroom was okay, but the decor looked a bit tired. For a four star hotel the the facilities in the room were limited. No spare toilet roll, no shaving mirror and the room itself was a little small. The toilet did not flush that well and the hot water/heating pipes were noisy.

I particularly liked the variety of lounges of different sizes with good views as overlooking the river. The location was especially convenient for river walks and public transport yet at the same time quiet.
