The hotel was in a convenient location, close to the center of the village and next to the river. The rooms with Sky TV were great for the kids, but on one occasion we couldn't park due to the restaurant being exceptionally busy. The dining experience of fish and meat dishes was satisfactory, and the service was generally good. However, the facilities were somewhat lacking in variety. Price was reasonable for the value offered.
