Lovely old hotel, but the Expedia room seemed to be directly over the pub and we were disturbed by loud music in the middle of the night.

The hotel was beautiful. Amazing location on the embankment, and central for the town. We had Afternoon Tea which was delicious, followed by a few drinks in the bar. The hotel was full, plus a wedding which meant parking wasn’t possible , but there is an NCP a short walk away. Staff very efficient , lovely rooms.

The hotel was very nice all the amenities you need but outside the property on a gloomy day of rain was disappointing. The river would be nice in the summer but the rest of the street was a dump. No really nice places to eat they all looked like real dives.
