Lovely, quiet location right by the river. Local shops are a 5 mins walk away. Nice breakfast set-up where you can sit inside, or outside on a lovely balcony with a few tables.

Firstly, the staff are extremely hard working, and attentive. They are a credit to the hotel. Our room was a bit tired. Very odd that the light switches were situated behind your pillows, so we kept catching these in the night. Bathroom could do with a revamp. Grout all needs cleaning, sealant needs replacing. The limescale in the bottom of the toilet needs sorting out. I know this is beyond the hotel’s control, but the area is having a lot of construction work, and they started up at 6.30am every morning!!!
