We liked to stay there over the weekend.
They have a beautiful garden overlooking the river, that was the best part!
Room size was good and the bed and pillows comfortable.

The staff were all lovely, couldn't offer enough help. The restaurant food in the evening had good choice and what we had was good quality, we enjoyed this, we also ate out in the evening where there was a good choice of different restaurants to choose from.
I am not one to complain but our stay was for 4 nights of which our room was only serviced once, we had to use towels provided for all of our stay. Housekeeping needs to be managed as the carpets by the skirting boards were full of dirt, you could see this standing up. Room has net curtains which required washing. I am not picking at this with a microscope, it was obvious.
Linen for beds and towels were spotless and looked new. I just think it is attention to the smaller details that need picking up.
This hotel is friendly, attractive and comfortable, I would recommend it to my friends and family these smaller issues would not put me off.

A real hidden gem!
This is one of the nicest hotels I've stayed at, and I've stayed at a lot of hotels! We had such a lovely room that had the stream running past the window. The beds were super comfy and the room had lots of plug sockets which seems rare in hotels!
It was a Greene King but the food was better than any I've been too and reasonably priced. Service was quite slow considering how quiet it was but the staff were very friendly. The pictures online don't do this place justice, a real hidden gem!

It is a very nice historic property with a great location, and not too expensive. I have not used the dining room, just needed a place to overnight within walking distance of station.

The kitchen staff were really excellent, waiters quick and efficient. Something went badly wrong with room maintenance, unlikely to happen again.
