Liked: Cleanliness
The hotel itself could do with some upgrading, rooms need a mini fridge and bar doesnt offer rhe widest drink selection, but there is a pub across the road to make up for this. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and welcoming and this definitely added to what was overall a very pleasant place to stay for one night.

Staff were very polite and friendly. Few things I raised upon checkout which is just attention to detail on cleaning, overall very clean room. Plenty of parking, WiFi was on and off. Was hot weather, could open one window but not the other. Two pubs opposite where you could get some food. Overall I was happy with my visit at the price I paid, I would return.

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.

Disliked: Amenities
Very quiet, easy parking , nice staff, a little bit run down feeling. we booked an air conditioned room but were told on arrival that only some rooms were air conditioned and ours wasn’t one of them. However they did agree to change us to an air conditioned one. But the web site details should be made clear.

The staff were very attentive and helpful so full marks to the staff. The room was clean and very quiet. The air conditioning didnt stay on, and kept flashing green in the night which meant we had to keep waking up to reset it. The property and furnishings were a little tired. The cooked breakfast was ok, but not hot enough which was made worse by being served on cold plates. The staff were definitely the best aspect of the hotel.
