The Boat Inn

10/10 Excellent
"I stayed at the property for two nights. The bed was about right for a single person in the room was quite small but impeccably clean as I understand. It’s very new. I tried to book again for the weekend, but the price was extremely high and I decided to go elsewhere. I found it fascinating that it was a digital check-in, but it was fast and efficient. Please note if you’re carrying luggage, you have to carry that upstairs if you’re older and your luggage is heavy that might be a consideration for you. Please note you also park on the street which was a little difficult during dinner time. I temporarily parked behind the Tesco. Overall, I would stay again during the week as the price was reasonable for the area."
