What a lovely place to stay! From the roaring fire in the restaurant and bar , to the very friendly staff , Keira , Dee and Kyle to name a few. The style of the hotel was very much to our liking , room was very clean and spacious with a great view of the river. The bath was great and nice a warm shower. We enjoyed the 1st day so much we decided to extend our trip and stay for a further night. Thanks once again to all the staff , we will definitely be back . Andy B

Room had the most awful dingy lighting, really struggled to see what I needed to. No radiator in room, instead a small electric fire with fan blower, bed was uncomfortably hard and the bathroom was tiny (but had a hot electric towel rail and decent lighting). Towels were big and fluffy which was nice. Hotel is in a beautiful setting.

A lovely hotel with beautiful views. The staff are very friendly and thoughtful. The suite I was in was beautiful, but there was no mini fridge available for medication, and non available. An excellent venue for an escape and for a wedding.
