    Fab location right by the river. I booked a small single room but it had a great view of the river. There was loads for breakfast on the tray that was delivered to my room! Very clean everywhere. The bathroom was private but was across the hall which wasn’t ideal but I did know that when I booked it. Lovely soft fluffy towels and bathrobe.
