Located in the high street with parking it was ideal for a one night stopover. Room was very pleasant & spacious and comfy bed. Breakfast was really good- buffet items plus cooked to order menu. Couldn’t fault anything. Excellent value for money.

Fantastic hotel! Perfect location. Lovely staff, free parking, and spotlessly clean. There's always something in the cleanliness area that makes me pull a face in most hotels I've stayed in, but not here, absolutely spotless! Lovely stay, highly recommended, and will most definitely return

Overall, it did the job. Parking was easy with CCTV protection. Excellent service, spotlessly clean with good food and fine wine. It is an old building and the decor was tired in places however, it was very reasonably priced and a good town centre location.

It was a good visit. No complaints. I will say that the picture of it being by water was a mystery. No river or canal in sight. But cost effective trip, if you have dietary requirements, don’t pre-book the dinner as it’s a different / limited menu.

For a consecutive month, I booked with a Greene King Inn to include an evening meal with the breakfast. The hotel is situated in the middle of a busy high street with great parking at the rear which is easily accessible. I was warmly welcomed and directed to my room which was nice and clean. It was warm and I asked for a fan which was supplied quickly. I went for a 1 hour speed walk and came across a village called Chawton which was a lovely part of the world to walk around. The included evening meal was really enjoyable and served in good time. I had a solid night's sleep and a hearty breakfast got me off to the best start. I would proactively look to book here again next time I am down there.
