After a long drive we received a lovely welcome from the lady at the front desk.
The room was large, quiet and had a river view.
We had everything we needed for a brief stay. Would recommend.

Night away.
Everything was lovely nice and clean. Nice view of the river. Staff lovely and friendly food was okay. My only negative would be the terrace over looking the river. A few tables but not clean and smoking and vapeing aloud which completely spoils the special view. It would not be pleasant to dine on there while smoking is aloud. As it is a small area and unpleasant for none smokers. On the whole a nice hotel.

Good location, enjoyed view of river. Staff friendly and helpful, especially reception.
Gym and swimming facilities clean, good standard and real bonus which would influence booking.
Breakfast good options and cooked food well presented, not greasy scrambled egg perfect. Some options such as tinned fruit, limited bread options a bit disappointing.
Overall some parts of the hotel look tired and could do with a revamp ie tables in breakfast room very worn, as were some fittings in bedroom and decoration could do with repaint.
However the positives outweigh these areas and overall still good value and would re-book
