charming riverside retreat
pristine exteriorgood viewconvenient locationneat décor
the exterior was pristine with cream paint with no blemishes. my room offered a good view of a mature tree and the river great ouse, complete with house boats. the inn is conveniently located near urban fresh restaurant and the cutter inn. inside, the décor was neat, carpets looked new and access was managed through a pin sent by email.
the light from the landing shone through the door at night.

the location was nice and the buffet breakfast was acceptable.
I was quite disappointed in the level of service. There was no one available to help with my phone issue, and they spoke to me through the doorbell. the shower also needed a better cleaning as there was mould in it.

the room was furnished to a high standard. the bathroom was luxurious and very clean. there was a nice river view from the window..
the breakfast was not of premium quality. i would have expected decent bacon, not crisp streaky bacon with more fat than meat. the sausages looked barely cooked.
