Excellent Xmas Dinner, staff were very polite, but as it was Xmas you felt a little rushed. Food very good. Picturesque area on the river. Great choice at the bar. Only down side is its on a very busy road that does get snarled up so allow extra time to get there

Great hotel, stayed for one night and booked 2 rooms. Reception staff were pleasant and friendly. The rooms were very clean and a good size. The hotel allow you to leave your car in the car park for up to 2 weeks if you book a room. It was a good place to stop prior to our week away abroad.
