Very nice room, friendly staff and nice food. Excellent value for money and will use again.
We loved our stay here! The countryside was beautiful and the staff was friendly and helpful. The bed was so comfortable and it was updated in a cool modern style. The parking was close and it was just a quaint, cool place! Didn't have enough time to eat there, but judging by the popularity, I'm sure it was good!
Great hotel, with a beautiful view of the river and great dining facilities. The staff were very good and the room clean and spacious. Overall would recommend this hotel.
Excellent value for money. Modern, clean and comfortable. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food very good and great location by the river. We went for a relaxing few days and thats exactly what we got.
Friendly staff, lovely room with great facilities. Restaurant was nice, though choices fairly limited. Decent breakfast. Lovely location, though the roads are poorly maintained in the surrounding area.
Amazing find defo going back so friendly, helpful, and accommodatng. Room was immaculate large fluffy towels modern bathroom. Food and atmosphere fabulous good value and original menu, with some classics all homemade.
Very clean all round. Big TV which makes a change from the little ones in most places.
Staff very good. Bathroom good but in our room the rain shower head needed attention has it looked like several holes were blocked and it sprayed everywhere.
Only small complaint is if we had the bedroom window open the wind was noisy thro the bedroom door (whistled). It’s also a pity you have to go outside to access the bar and restaurant from the hotel side, poor design. Hotel, food and staff excellent
Lovely hotel. Very accommodating staff. We were very late on arrival and staff were welcoming and happy to accommodate. Lovely room and beautiful surroundings
Nothing to fault about our stay. The staff were friendly, with very good service, the room was comfortable and they had an excellent food menu which was cooked well. We would definitely recommend The Three Pickerels
We had the most relaxing time on our 3 night stay. Lovely welcome and a very comfortable room ( with a balcony over looking the river).
Definitely worth booking the breakfast - more than value for money. Ate there each evening too, came home feeling a tad full!
