    We had a great stay once we found it. A road diversion made it awkward to find but hopefully by now, the approach road is open again. Lovely venue, very relaxing and a good nights sleep

    Breakfast was good but not brilliant. Location was fantastic. River at bottom of garden with direct access to the towpath. Very quiet location set in a residential area.

    My room was immaculate and had a great selection of tea, coffee and snacks. Food in the restaurant is reasonably priced. Great selection of breakfast and dinner options and quality of food and service exceptional! I’m not normally this generous...
