Disappointed
We have stayed here lots of times before and it’s been lovely. This time was very disappointing. The carpet in the room was disgusting, stained and dirty. The bathroom needed a proper clean. Breakfast was very disappointing. The first morning we went down at 8.30am and there were no pastries or marmalade out and the toaster was missing. Cooked breakfast is very small and definitely not worth £15. The hotel looks tired and uninviting and like it needs a good clean up.

Dear Sarah, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Without our guests valued feedback it is difficult to improve our services . I am disappointed to read that the carpet was stained and dirty and i have spoken to our housekeeping team to have this rectified. I am also disappointed that our breakfast has not met your expectations and do hope you raised these concerns to the team on the day. We hope to welcome you back soon. Best wishes

stay by the river
A very good location for our stay. The only let down was the food. Brakfast was 'served' but it was apparent that it was prepared and left on a buffet, just not insight, rather than freshly cooked. Limited repetitive evening menu.

A bit tired and old
The hotel is very tired. The room was spacious with a lovely view. I booked this over the premier Inn because of the leisure facilities but received an email the week before to say the pool was closed for maintenance. No gesture was made to make up for this.

We have had to switch of the heater in the pool in preparation for it to be drained today. This is for essential maintenance. We hope to welcome you back soon so that you can experience our usual high standard of service. Best wishes,

Staff were great and service was too. Room was clean and tidy but the mattresses could be improved as not very comfortable, old spring style. However was awoken during the night about 3am to load and playing music, called down to reception and asked if she could hear and find the source. She commented it could be the restaurant. Suddenly no more load music and back to sleep I go!

The Swimming pool made this property, although it was small it was perfect for a relaxing swim with my 5 year old. What let this property down was it needed a little TLC a few scratches in the furniture and patches on the paintwork of our rooms. However the service of the staff was excellent and everything was clean, with an excellent breakfast, although best to book it with your hotel stay as you get it for a bargain compared with the price on the door. Overall is was a lovely stay.

Lovely apartment.
We'd booked a one bedroom apartment and was really surprised at how good it was. Lovely patio space outside with furniture. Rooms all decent size for the two of us. Only comment would be the table in kitchenette was a bit too big at the round end and was awkward to get round if you're on the larger side.

A Wonderful stay
The hotel is stunning and comfortable, the staff were really friendly and kind especially to my son. The only down side was that the room its self was not as clean as expented when you walk into the hotel, there was lits of dust in the doors and window and cobwebs from the waal lights to the wall which was a little off putting, the bathroom sink was also dirty and there were toothpaste stains in the sink, as i have a 5 yr old I am used to this so i was happy to sort and we had a good stay. The breakfast was fabulous and the recommended pub for dinner was amazing. My son had a great time in the pool and we would live to come again for a longer stay with all of our family
