A beautiful spot on the river. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. And everything worked! A popular place to eat so restaurant was buzzy. Food and drink options were good. Especially liked option to have smaller portion of main course. And great breakfast. Not cheap but great value. Staff helpful and friendly. Fun to have a live band in the bar too. A really good place to stay.
