We want to take a moment to express our satisfaction with our recent stay at your establishment. This was our third visit, and we appreciate the consistent level of quality we have experienced each time. We particularly enjoyed our dining experience and were impressed by the several exceptional appetisers we ordered, which exceeded our expectations. The cleanliness of the rooms and comfort of the bed were also noteworthy. However, it was the cleanliness and luxurious quality of the shower that truly stood out to us. The staff were helpful and courteous.. We look forward to our next visit and would like to thank you for providing a pleasant and comfortable stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Booked a room for my Birthday treat & sad to say was highly disappointed by how lack of cleaning & how much dust i had found in Bedroom area, skirting boards dirty back of TV were dirty too . TV -Channels &internet faulty only had a choice of 2 channels !!! Shower also very difficult to turn on mixer taps & wet room floor did not drain water due to bad design. Staff did not seem to care when told them *meal not hot & no roast potatoes & dry* plus head Chef & other staff were sat in a group eating meals on breaks directly in front of Us, in pub bar area. Paid nearly £40 for our Cold dry -meals & we did not enjoy it, so we left half of our food on plate & i had to rush to ladies loo to be Sick !! *Do not recommend to dine at this Pub* OR to stay here.

The room was beautifully clean and modern, and had everything we needed. The room was a cosy or comfort room (5) perfectly big enough. The hotel is right on the river and only 10 min from town centre. Hotel breakfast was delicious and varied...good selection. Had an evening meal here, food was really good and reasonably priced. Hotel was decorated beautifully for Christmas too. Staff were very attentive and polite and very welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. Hats off to Dean and the rest of the staff for making our stay so wonderful.
