Staff were professional, attentive not only on the front desk but in the restaurant.
I can't fault my room for the cleanliness, amenities with good WiFi and the views of the river were very nice to wake up too.

It might sound like a cliché and a bit over the top but I think this is one of the best hotels in the world. The location is great, ample parking, the location next to the river gives the hotel a great atmosphere. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The food is excellent and the service matches, even when the restaurant is very busy. A nightcap after dinner on the terrace by the river on a warm summer evening! What more could you want? Highly recommended!

From check in to check out, I cannot fault my stay here. This hotel had been recommended to me by several friends, and they weren't wrong. A warm welcome from the receptionist on arrival. A lovely, spacious room, comfy bed and large shower. The bar and restaurant staff were excellent. The food delicious, reasonable bar prices as well
Breakfast was excellent and checkout seemless. I'd happily stay here again.
If you are coming here, even for just a meal; do book a table in advance as they get very busy and you can see why.

Our stay was excellent in every way. In my last review I said that the breakfast sausages were not entirely to my taste, but a week later they were very good.
