The property was clean, staff friendly and the dining options were very good. Great location right on the river. Room was a good size and clean just slightly too hot - a fan was provided but was then noisy.

I love everything about this property. The rooms are massive, well appointed, and adorable. Heated towel rack - 2 sets of cookies and coffees/teas - seating area (even in the lowest priced room) .. I stay in a lot of hotels (200 a year) and this has to be one of my all time favourites. So much character - front desk staff wonderful ! Adorable in every way

All great but on a number of occasions now the wait for breakfast has been ridiculous - up to 30 mins for eggs on toast. Our business frequently uses this hotel for team bookings and our days are often running late or having to move agendas around because of how long breakfast takes - or people are having to go without because they have to leave. You're becoming famous for this issue, please sort it!

Steph

Liked: Cleanliness
Friendly staff, but overly expensive for what it was, dated bedroom interiors, floor tiles missing grout in bathroom, stains on bedroom carpet, shower more of a drizzle than a waterfall. Poorly laid out room, obv designed by someone who does not use the room. For instance, one relaxing chair in a double room where there was a lot of space for two chairs, or a small sofa. Very noisy selfish guests returning to rooms in the early hours, A sign up asking people to consider sleepers after hours might have helped. Restaurant cold with atrocious "music" and very slow service. If you have events on - hire extra staff to cope. Not at all relaxing. Will not be returning.
