Acceptable stay
quality tea quality coffee clean towels hot bath scalding hot shower slow food service half food order
The room had quality tea and coffee. It also had quality clean towels. I appreciate the hot bath in the room. The TV was good to watch from the bed.
The shower had scalding hot water even at its lowest temperature. The water ran down the wall unless I held the shower head. Some food was slow arriving to tables. We only got half of my food order.

garden view river location poor breakfast missing croissant
The garden offered a superb view. Plenty of tables were available, and the location by the river felt very cosy.
The breakfast was very poor. There were no croissants available despite them being recorded on the menu. I also found only one towel for the shower in a room booked for two people.
