Beautiful location, plenty of parking, breakfast was excellent, close to city centre, the only negatives for me are the rooms are small ( common in city centres) very little storage, no drawers, wardrobe was a small cupboard, can’t hang trousers, we kept our cases in the bathroom, which was quite cold , unfortunately the weather was awful whilst we were here and the river flooded the hotel , we were in the older part of the hotel which has all the rooms up a steep staircase , so the carpets were soaked at the bottom of the stairs, and smelled awful ! We still enjoyed our stay at this hotel 😊

We chose the Boathouse because of the location, which was excellent and because they allow dogs and because they advertise that they have Tesla charge points. The pub was very dog-friendly and the staff were all pleasant and helpful. The most negative aspect was that the charge points weren't working and this had clearly been the case for some weeks. I understand that the pub don't own the charge points, but they are a selling point for the pub and are still being advertised. The room was generally fine, the bed was comfortable, but we were disturbed multiple times through the night by loud mechanical noises, from the bathroom.
