"I had a whirlwind stop, not getting to the hotel till 9.30pm, what was nice, was to be shown to the room and not just handed a key. Room was spacious and modern, lovely and clean with everything you need. Breakfast was excellent. I didn't get chance to explore but the setting at the rear with the river looked glorious."
