The property was very clean, amd the surroundings absolutely lovely, even despite the heavy rain of storm Claudia. It's an old, OLD building, so some creaks and age-related setbacks were expected. However it does seem that the maintenance team is slacking somewhat. Mine and my neighbours' toilets had poor drain venting, and would gurgle loudly. A few electrical sockets were loose or broken. The electric radiator seemed to struggle to keep a comfortable temperature on colder nights (0°C), having been placed bizarrely next to the old single-pane windows. The staff however were top-notch and the hotel was pristinely clean, with quite a solid breakfast option. Parking was quite plentiful, but beware the kerbs and dips in lowered cars. Overall a nice experience, but maintenance could be better.

Clean tidy room, if somewhat out dated furniture, but considering very traditional riverside hotel quite well appointed. Always cold rooms (my 2nd stay), as expected with a listed building, no double glazing. Comfy bed and lovely bathroom & shower. Breakfast very mediocre, food left in water logged chafing dishes without burners. Really helpful staff, lovely warm greeting on arrival at reception. Average to good for a couple of business nights, would I pay the price personally, probably not.

I had a - 15 - cottages room, which considering I have stayed in this hotel many times and only in the house was poor. For the money and all I was disappointed. Room was musky, bed clean but poor mixed matches furniture, dodgy door, slippy entrance, and all the usually for an old building. 5/10. But I had had house rooms before 10/10! Breakfast was 8/10 Service was lovley however the taps even cold gave tepid / warm water. No water in the room and a promise of some to be brought over which wasn’t :-(

We stayed for one night and was in the cottage rooms, which needs a revamp. The rooms look tired and there was a constant dripping sound! It really didnt feel like a 4 star hotel. On the plus side the staff were very helpful and friendly, we never had food so cant comment on that! If we stayed again we'd want to stay in the main hotel.

A worn out hotel Arrived 5 minutes after kitchen last orders and advised no food was possible and was given my rooms, having booked main house double rooms i was given 2 single rooms in the annnex building. Receptionist was completely uninterested blaming hotels.com and no other rings were avaliable and that no refund of the price difference was offered. The annex rooms were poor at best, badly decorated and very dirty, evidence of damp in the paint marks, a worn out single bed with a mattress clearly passed it's prime. The pictures on the walls one had a smashed glass and the remains were still stuck in the frame. To top it off in the morning the shower was cold. This place might look good in the images but in reality it's one of the worst places I've stayed.

Lovely location. Quiet cottage room. Furniture dated but very clean and everything one would expect : iron, safe and kettle. Comfy bed. Entrance to room smelt a little musty but room was warm and no damp. Tiny shower room- beautiful but would be a squeeze if one is not slim .
