"Fantastic hotel- central location on the river can. We stayed in a river view double room with balcony- very clean and classically decorated. The staff were amazing. Supplied a bathrobe so I could go for a swim and use the jacuzzi and steam room. The food and service are some of the best we’ve had in a hotel, from the breakfast- set in the quaint Garden House restaurant, to the afternoon tea- all were a very high standard. This hotel has so much to offer you can easily spend a lot of time here. Would definitely return."

"The hotel and stay was really nice. Clean and the staff are really nice. The only thing I would say is the parking charge of £10 a night seems a bit much. Also £16 for breakfast. Bit they are the only things. The hotel is lovely."
