The room was clean and charming although a bit tired (the lamp shades kept tipping over and the toilet flush was loose) but the bed and pillows were comfortable and we slept well. Unfortunately the bathroom had an unpleasant smell when using the shower. If we had booked in for longer than one night we would have asked to move rooms. This was reported and I was told that it would be looked into to get the problem rectified. The staff were very helpful and friendly, given how busy they were when we arrived. We didn't have a pet with us but we do dog sit and are confident that if we had brought her along she would have been welcomed and her needs accommodated. Overall the hotel was lovely and the location very picturesque. It is on a busy road so you can only really venture out by car .

The room was on the ground floor, so other than opening the windows there was no other ventilation. The bath didnt hold water! The bottles of soap for both the bath and shower were too high to use. We had a shared sea food platter for our dinner, cold and not very interesting at £33.

Loved it

Very pretty pub with rooms in a gorgeous riverside setting. Accessed across two walkways across the river, the pub is cleverly designed and decorated, making the most of its watermill heritage. The staff are very friendly and keen to help. Our room was bigger than expected and well equipped, and supper in the conservatory overlooking the river was impressive. Breakfast too was perfect, the wonderful staff really adding to the experience. Well done team. You hit all the right spots.
