"Not much to complain about here. Just returned from 3 night stay. Our only complaint is the room was very dark . One side of the room had no lights at all and a lamp would have made such a difference. Breakfast had everything you could ask for and staff very helpful. Rooms are warm and cosy and very clean"

"Hotel staff were lovely and helpful, we had a lovely meal in the river room which was turkey and ham so delicious. Breakfast was great and plenty of choice. Our room was excellent a standard twin with two big double beds, the room was super clean. The fridge was great to keep drinks cool. The staff work so hard and are a credit to the hotel. Really enjoyed our stay. The reception was a lovely smell when you arrive. The only thing which was disappointing was the horrendous smell in the ladies toilets in the lobby. X"
