Our stay at the dial house was excellent..the location is great , right by the water and every staff in the hotel is extremely hospitable and friendly. We got a beautiful idyllic room on the first floor with a decent size and modern bathroom. Looking forward to coming back here in summer

We liked the look of this place from the outside but inside, its strange. You enter via what looks like someones lounge and I actually apologised to two people on a sofa, as I entered. I thought Id walked in to private residence. The dining area was small but we were informed there are two dining rooms. The baked Camembert was brilliant BUT if youre charging 3 for a Diet Coke, use a big enough glass so you dont have to leave the canyes, a can, on the table. It completely crushes the thought of value for money. Great location, gives the impression of a sizeable pub

This hotel should not even be quoted . It is not open and has not been for months. They took our booking but cancelled two days before the due dat. . Steer clear of this place.

Lovely place. They have a good covid friendly plan in place with food ordered from a outside pavilion. We really enjoyed the sausages, fresh pasta and an avacardo and bacon salad... delicious.

This is a very nice area with a nice river running thought the centre. The Hotel is a very nice place, clean and smart. The restaurant was excellent. The room was a let down, although advertised as a 4 poster room with on suite bathroom with complimentary fruit bowl with tea and coffee making facilities. Yes the room did have a 4 poster (the roof of which had a funny stain) the fruit bowl was a wrinkly apple and an orange but the bathroom was fantastic, spacious and with a bath in the middle of the floor with plenty room for 2!
