good breakfast excellent location cute pub tired carpet needed re-grouting boat trip

the breakfast had lots of choice. the location is excellent right on the river. the inside of the pub is attractive and cute (i liked the atmosphere).

the carpet was a bit tired. the shower badly needed re-grouting. some late-night boat trips returned with music playing.
