What a wonderful place. The room was large and spacious with a wonderful view of the river. Meals were flavourful and plenty. I genuinely say that the breakfast was the BEST I have had in all my years of business travel.
We had a lovely 2 night stay. The room was very clean and comfortable. Staff were exceptionally helpful, welcome and friendly. The food was excellent. Set in a lovely location by the river, this id a perfect place for a few days away.
