Unfortunately my rib eye steak was very disappointing , I could have purchased a better cut at my local supermarket or butchers! Also for breakfast, we both requested poached eggs, very disappointed they were served hard... we noticed there was another plate left by a resident guest with hard poached eggs on the plate, such a shame. Perhaps the breakfast chef should learn a little more about how poached eggs should be served. Also the purchaser of the meat should check the quality before cooking!
Lovely hotel and great staff. Attention to detail was superb as it was my partners birthday. The lovely lady on reception informed the restaurant, so they presented my partner with a lovely birthday dessert, thank you.

It was the softest mattress ever... no sleep ... kept disappearing into the middle of the bed. Everything else about this hotel is lovely .... just good do with a new mattress.
The location is amazing. The little bar area is lovely and the food in the restaurant is gorgeous. Highly recommend staying here.

Breakfast was dried up most mornings. Black pudding was inedible. Staff seemed a bit inexperienced. There was so many flies on the window seals when we were eating dinner in the Yatchsman Bar, very off putting. The lights were filthy. The bar could have done with a good clean. Fixed shower in our room. I felt it was time the communal areas were decorated, especially the lounge.
Stunning location. Comfortable bed. Lots of comfortable seating areas outside. Very pretty building with history.

“Nice location shame about the accommodation”

We were recommended the hotel by one of our Daughters who stayed in one of the new rooms. Our room was in the main House and although quite spacious and with a good view over the river was in dire need of a make-over. It was dark old fashioned and carpets curtains and the like all showed signs of being at the end of their useful lives. the bed was comfortable and there was plenty of hot water for showers and baths. with new décor and furnishings this room would be a winner. The stairs and hallways are dark dingy and tired. Again refurbishment is urgently required.
The situation by the river is excellent. The main Restaurant is located looking over the river and serves a good breakfast.

We appreciated the hotels telephone call a few days before our stay to inform us that it was hosting wedding on the day of our stay and that the riverview restaurant was not available. However we were slightly disappointed about the limited choices available on the bar menu and the quite average quality and service which was received. This is the reason we have rated the hotel as good rather than excellent.
The location was great, with a lovely bar terrace looking out to the water. Room and bathroom were lovely and reception staff very welcoming and knowledgeable.

On the Sunday evening we had booked for dinner in the main restaurant for 6 people. We were served some very nice amuse -bouches immediately, but after having been told there was only one portion of the main course chicken available (2 people had requested it) one person had to re-order and then none of us got any food for 3/4 an hour. As we had all had long journeys and were hungry this did seem a long wait, and many people who arrived after us had finished and left before we did. Also at various breakfast orders there seemed to be slight differences in what was ordered. Other than that we had a good stay and the staff tried to be helpful with further requests, such as extra toast and butter etc.
Mostly all OK
