Delicious Breakfasts

I had the pleasure of enjoying the breakfast here. The full English breakfast was fresh, hot, and cooked to perfection—definitely the best I've ever had! There were so many options on the menu and the service was attentive. It was the highlight of my stay!

Comfortable and Clean Rooms

My room was clean and well-decorated, perfect for unwinding after a long day. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I loved that there were blackout curtains to ensure a good night's sleep. The room had a charming ambiance that made my stay enjoyable.

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.
