We loved our stay here! It’s a very well designed hotel, with a special history and lots of unique touches throughout. Our room overlooked the river, and had all the usual things you expect from a nice hotel plus some excellent artworks. The only thing to note is that even though this is a spa hotel, the spa isn’t included in the hotel rate- we hadn’t realised that that needed to be booked separately. There were no issues fitting us in though!

Lovely hotel it great location.
Stains and hair on bed when we came into our room and the bathroom door was broken and wouldn’t close. We was also questioned into paying there for our room when it was already paid for. Don’t expect this with the price you pay to stay here.

Very satisfied with the British country style. The hygiene is also very good. The breakfast is too single and needs to be improved. The restaurant floor is sticky and needs to be cleaned. The elevator cannot reach all floors. It is a bit regretful.

Clean and bed is comfortable, but reception not always staffed (although stafff are friendly) and sound proofing is poor. House keeping also tried to enter our room in the morning of check out day when we were asleep, instead of waiting a couple hours later till we have checked out, so some internal system wasn't working...

Hotel was lovely but the lack of parking spaces or nearby parking was a difficult. Breakfast style was basic and notvreally in keeping with the hotel.
Disappointed to find you had to pay to use the spa.

The value is really good. Beautiful rooms, lots of tea/ coffee/milk in room and biscuits. Can’t fault. Parking really good.

We spent 4 nights at this hotel - of which two nights we had no heat. The first night we were offered an extra quilt and after three phone calls the next day a small heater was brought in. No compensation was offered for the fact we had no heat for these two nights even after a request was made. We found the waitresses in the lounge and restaurant were very friendly but the bartender and hostess were actually rude! I would not recommend this hotel for these reasons.

Unfortunately, this was not a good visit.
The hotel had a problem with their heating (although this was only admitted on the morning we left). As a result our room was cold and we had to make do with extra old blankets they provided for us
