    The hotel location is fabulous. It is close to a river and is very quiet and peaceful. The rooms are large and tastefully done up. The menu is extensive and food quality was good. The staff in the reception and dining room were very helpful.

    This hotel has the most beautiful setting right on the river! It is so peaceful and quiet. In the morning you can watch ducks, darters and the odd paddler moving upstream as the sun pops its head over the reeds and onto the water.

    I loved the quiet and peaceful environment. The garden and river bank provided lovely walks to appreciate nature. The bungalow was spacious and adequate for 3 guests. The bedding and towels provided were adequate and the room heating staved off...
