Very friendly welcome and the traditional architecture is amazing. Great chef as well. We loved the lobster and the foie gras.

Very nice.
Very nice atmosphere and friendly staff, very comfy bed, very clean, make sure you turn on the shower 5-10 mins before you want one, hot water takes ages and no glasses/ Tumblers.
Beautiful hotel in a beautiful setting by the river. Amazing food in the restaurant. Plenty of choices for food options nearby. Attentive and friendly staff
We enjoyed our stay at the French horn. It has old work charm and the staff are excellent, friendly without being in your face. The feel of the place is lovely and right on the river. A sympathetic make over would be beneficial building on the charm and character of the place. The rooms were spotless, comfortable and spacious.
I cannot rate the staff too highly they were excellent.
The food is very good although expensive and the silver service faultless.
The only real downside is the road alongside the property but we were not disturbed by it and was quiet at night.
Overall I will stay sgain
