So glad my friend and I booked a room here. It's a lovely building and the pub is great with a very nice deck out back. The lunch we had was great, and the breakfast we ate in the attached cafe was delicious. Staff was EXCELLENT and so kind and helpful. Our room was a little smaller than we expected, but it was fine. We had booked a deluxe double room, so we needed to split the double bed apart to make 2 twins. The hotel didn't have another duvet for us, but we just used a few extra sheets for cover. The bathroom was also a little tight, but nicely done and the shower was good! The Waterman is a bit out of the center of town, but easily walkable and it was surprisingly so quiet at night. Didn't hear a bit of noise from the other rooms, either. I'd surely stay at The Waterman again!

One night stay
The Waterman is in a good location only a 10 minute walk from the city centre, parking is not easy the street we was told to park in was full. The staff were friendly, the room was lovely the problem was there was a green safety light near the door that was so bright we struggled to sleep, as we checked out there was nobody available to speak to about our lack of sleep.

Waterman has it all.
Really clean. Lots of facilties (pub/cafe next door/short walk into town). The coffee in room was really good. I slept like a log despite being in a bedroom above a pub. The hubbub had gone by 11.30pm which is reasonable for city accommodation.
