This hotel’s decor is badly outdated, but the facilities are fine. A comfortable bed in a warm room on a very cold night, clean bathroom with toiletries, and tea / coffee / water provided. Staff were first class & breakfast was superb. Best Western need to invest in this place

Lovely overnight stay

We had a lovely overnight stay. We loved how this hotel is built around an old water mill and how you are right by the overflow canal off the main canal. The staff were all extremely friendly.
