Single glazing which was mostly ok at this time of year but anyone or vehicle who did go past definitely disturbed our sleep. Bath towels were small, not bath sheets. Lovely friendly staff. Good vibe. Chilled. No parking which we didnt realise until we got there. Would be useful to have that flagged before travelling so you can go straight to one of the public car parks."

"Most enjoyable stay, the room we had was spacious and beautifully decorated with a view of the river, and the bed was the softest we had ever slept in! Staff were really lovely and helpful, and made us feel very welcome from the beginning of our stay. Breakfast was especially good but the main menu was somewhat limited although of high quality, There was a small car park on site, and plenty of on-road parking although this was very busy during the day. However there was a large quay-side carpark opposite the hotel so there were no problems with parking. Will definitely return and cannot recommend them highly enough."

"The house was very comfortable, especially the beds. The host was easy to get hold of, we had trouble getting the downstairs television to work, I emailed her and she replied quickly. I found the stairs very steep and with the bathroom downstairs, my husband and myself slept in the single beds downstairs. We had trouble with the oven and informed Stephanie and she is looking into getting it changed. The property is very cosy and in a gorgeous location. The view from the garden is more than you could wish for. Anyone thinking of going there would not be disappointed but be aware of the steep staircase."
