When I first went in, I found my twin room smelled very strongly, the air conditioning/ heating was really high and had unpleasant hot air that was also coming out of a crack in the wall. The bathroom was new and clean and of a good standard, and the room was better once the window could be opened and the hot air conditioning turned off. The single beds in the twin room were quite basic and hard (probably ok for back sleepers). Overall it was a satisfactory overnight stay and conveniently near the motorway.

Has so much potential being on the river & with the waterwheel but sadly the hotel has seen better days. Our room was plenty big enough but very old furnishings & the counterpains on the bed were stained. Unfortunately the rooms at the front are subject to road noise.

Clean room, great restaurant choice and good food. The only negative was it took a little time to get connected using the guest Wifi and breakfast was OK but as a whole very good.

What a shame, the new rooms are lovely but...
On arrival, there were no staff anywhere, one customer in the deserted bar, an empty dining room, no one. Eventually a member of staff appeared, with no apology. The room was tired but OK, however in the morning none of the lights int he room, including the bathroom worked, meaning a shave by the torch on my phone. Unlikely I will return.
