Nice friendly staff, good location. Breakfast was as I would make it, eggs over cooked. Decor could do with a refresh, but all in all stay was pleasant and welcoming

Friendly traditional Inn, good full English breakfast. Great location to walk into the City along the river, free parking also a bonus. Rooms are comfortable but the age of the building perhaps explains why the bathrooms and showers are dated. Enjoyed my second stay there and outside of building has been freshly painted.

The accommodation has free parking and was convenient to walk into the city. When we were there there was no evening meals available so we had to walk to get a meal. Towels were lovely and clean but really hard and scratchy. Shower was like warm and curtains are damaged so don’t close properly

Great if you like to stay in a place with character, history and friendly staff, the payoff is its decor is a little dated as were the shower facilities. Value for money was goods with free parking, well positioned to walk into the City centre along the river path. We enjoyed our stay.
