Would stay again.
Nice, clean room with excellent rain shower. Modern with quirky 50’s style accessories. Great location and good free parking. The restaurant/ bar area is very good with lovely gardens overlooking the river. Excellent checkout receptionist but our check-in lacked warmth and information.

Perfect Stay
We really enjoyed our stay at The Great House, The room was perfect and very spacious, The only gripe I have is that it would be really useful to have two shower heads, I really didn’t want to get my hair wet but it was only a rainfall shower head, It was a slight struggle to wash without getting my hair wet, That’s the only thing! Everything else was wonderful, Receptionist was really polite on the day we booked in to leaving the next day, All ready looking forward to coming back in the summer!!
