Radiators on throughout the entire stay with no option to turn off, which means the window had to be open at all times in order to prevent heat stroke, opening myself up to outside noise when trying to sleep. Otherwise decent stay.

My room was very clean as was the bedding. The bed was large and comfortable and the room was well heated. The shower was very powerful and a good temperature.the blackout curtains worked very well and the hotel/pub was easy to find. However the maintenance of the room was poor with chipped paint, cracked walls, bodged carpet, a door with such a large gap at the bottom that I had to use a towel to block out the light plus the lights on the bed didn't work. This was an 'executive room' which had a garden view (of a big bush and the river if you peered around it) The breakfast was just OK, but a bit lacking in something, for example there wasn't any brown or red sauce on the table and the breakfast room smelled of cabbage on both days. What could have been better? Attention to detail in maintenance, a cozy armchair or sofa in an 'executive' room a breakfast with more than one of each item in it and better bread than mother's pride. This is not one of those hotels that I was desperate to get away from, but nor is it one I would go out of my way to come back to.

Tooked away pit stop in charming location

Check in very easy, room nice and comfortable with all you'd need for a pleasant stay although room was cold and heating didn't appear to be on, towel rail in bathroom also not on. I think if I was staying longer i would have said about it to the staff Food was good, reasonably priced too and not a complaint at all, but dont be fooled into thinking the Yorkshire pudding pie is actually a pie, its filling in an upside-down yorkshire on top of mash 😋 Staff were getting some grief off other customers about petty things like this but they handled it well and i thought all was good

Give it a miss

Check in was done on line was abaout the best experience of this place. We stayed in the Annex across the court yard the smell was unreal was of old damp musty the room was spacious but the smell was in the room too not as strong as the landing and stairs shower was nice but the tray filled up quick and the water ebbed onto the floor probably why the place smell damp and foisty the food was of good taste but the waitress messed the order up and what we got wasn't what we ordered the IPA was nice and the wine it was valentines night the candles on the table were dead and we had to ask for a fresh one and for it to be lit all the table candles seemed to be the same breakfast was terrible cold and bland the toaster didn't work there was no coffee not a full English breakfast all at once was very mishmashed waiting for the chef to bring out sausage and bacon couple of choices of teas but no earl grey there was minimal selection of continental offering with no pastries I would stay again but I'd maybe order from a different menu and skip the breakfast when you go in a restaurant and get handed a menu only to find 3 of the 4 items you want are not available is pretty poor this is the worst best western I've stayed at out of 5 I'd give it a generous 2 only because the IPA was nice

Had stayed here a number of years ago before it closed. Was delighted to see that the main building which is full of character, had not been remodelled or modernised and all the great features retained. Especially the Grandfather clock. Great to have a pet friendly place to eat and stay. Friendly helpful staff. Will stay again.

MEDIOCRE

Have stayed here a few times. Ususally good. Room 226 is very noisy - upstairs floorboards squeak badly. Pillows have done their time. Toilet seat was loose. Sink taps need a good clean undeerneath. Radiator had a few very noisy moments. The breakfast room was deathly silent and cold. Breakfast was mediocre. Not the best way to start the day

fine family meet up place

it suited us fine for a family meet-up. a slight sadness was that we weren't able to use the river view restaurant for my daughters birthday evening meal but were very happy with the standard of the food served in the other room. some rooms were rather hot and another rather cool but no so much that we needed to get assistance

Definitely won’t be back. The only good thing was the room was clean and spacious. However we were moved from an upstairs room to a downstairs room because there was no remote for the tv. We then had a pretty much sleepless night because whoever was in the room above was walking around frequently and the creaking floorboards woke us up. As well as that there was no heating in the room and no hot water for the whole stay, not good for an elderly couple on a cold February night. We stayed as a break on a long journey from Scotland to London but didn’t feel either rested or refreshed to resume the journey. Will be making an official complaint.
