When we arrived, after informing the property that we’ll arrive around 21:00. They did not open the gate, we eventually got hold of someone by phone who arranged with them to open for us, and when we arrived at the reception they told us that the intercom was not working and they had no knowledge of our reservation. We left and had to find other accommodation at such a late hour. The entire experience was frustrating from start to end.

The room was clean and spacious and the beds very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
We were not told there would be a party at the property the second night we were there. Profuse apologies were given but the loud music and chatter until 4am kept us awake. when we arrived back from our day trip there was nowhere to park our car and it took 20 mins to sort a place for us.

Nice full English breakfast. Location is OK, feels safe.
Garden and pool are not very large and are between two rows of fences. Access to the river is blocked by a fence, probably for security reasons.
7.0
The room cleanliness, the aircon as well as the breakfast. I think they also need to clean the balcony. It was very dirty.
The crockery and cutlery can be improved. The reception should be renovated as it gives a wrong impression about the place.
