good foodshabby roomdingy net curtains

the food served in the pub was good (i especially liked the pie).

my room was a bit shabby. the net curtains made it dark, and there was no view as it overlooked a flat roof courtyard. all the white wood shelving had marks and needed redecoration. i felt i expected more for the money i paid.

Fantastic stay!

helpful staffbeautiful groundswell appointed roomeasy access

The staff were helpful and cute. I needed a downstairs room, so they upgraded me. The grounds were beautiful and the rooms well appointed (the lighting could be improved, though!). My room was in a separate building, so I drove my car there for easy access.

The fire door slammed when closing. I was aware of this and tried not to disturb other occupants.

fantastic stay, a total win!

friendly staffgorgeous firespacious roomearly music

I secured a travelzoo deal and i felt seriously impressed (amazing value!). the staff were super friendly and so cute. the pub had a wonderful vibe with two gorgeous fires blazing, just what i needed. i had supper one evening, the food was so good! the portions were huge. I almost wished i had chosen the smaller plate. my room had gorgeous linens and pillows, it felt so luxurious. it had a small terrace that overlooked the river which was great.

the music from the bar filtered upstairs and started around 7:00 in the morning. it continued late into the evening, and it was past midnight before the hotel became quiet.

the hotel features secret gardens and riverside access. the interior boasts well-thought-out decoration with visually pleasing details at every turn. there is a mini fridge stocked with fresh milk and chilled water, a thoughtful addition.
