We stay here every year for Christmas and have for the last 10+ years. Staff are friendly, great location, so quiet and always feels like a total switch off for Xmas. Hotel room this year was ok - we had a shared balcony - if you can get a room with a river view would 100% recommend! Look forward to going back
