Great surroundings and building
This isn’t your average everyday square hotel. This place is an old manor house and it is truly some beautiful English heritage. The room are different with sloped ceilings in some rooms but regardless, it is wonderful. Great bar and sitting area over looking the river. (Clues in the name). Free parking!! I didn’t eat here or k is if they even do food but the location is not too far from town. The have a free shuttle to town but the walk is about 10 minutes and that’s where the awesome cathedral is located too. Nice town. Quiet and friendly as towns go. Reminds me of a college town. Definitely worth the stay.

Unfortunately the restaurant was closed for refurbishment. The stairs were quite a challenge for older people The room heating was not easy to adjust and the shower was difficult to control. The staff were lovely and cleanliness was excellent. The location was to die for with superb views of the iconic Cathedral. When fully refurbished it will be a five star stay.

Taking into account the place has a bar, and with that some expected evening entertainment, was overall a pleasant stay. Some small details needing attention but the staff I met were lovely and welcoming

Lovely friendly and helpful staff. Hotel location perfect for a short walk into the town. Breakfast was amazing. Room was large and clean with a lovely view. Bus shuttle to the town in the evening was an added bonus. Recommend for a few days getaway.
