Wonderful Riverside Stay

attentive staffriver viewunlimited tearide access
I appreciated the attentive staff who provided excellent service. Our room included a balcony facing the river (which I enjoyed). The hotel also offers unlimited tea and coffee. I found the park and ride was a very short walk away.
I noticed that the bathroom lacked a shelf, slightly inconvenient for storing toiletries.

The breakfast buffet offered many options, and the quality of the produce was high. I dined in the bar one evening and found the food tasty (especially with the fire on!).

The hotel features a quirky theme related to 'The Wind and the Willows'. The location is on the river, and parking is convenient. You can also help yourself to extra tea, coffee, and fresh fruit.
