Excellent Stay for Walking Group
clean roomfriendly staffexcellent breakfastpoor storage
I reserved all rooms for our Ramblers group for a walking trip. The rooms were clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful . The breakfasts were prepared to order and were excellent.
The bike storage was poor. It looked like a junk shed, and it had no roof, which left the bikes exposed to the elements.

On-site parking is available and is convenient. The hotel provides ground floor access who require it. This makes entry and exit easier. A five minute walk takes you to the city center.

Excellent Stay with River Views

I found the staff very friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The breakfast was very good and it was served in a conservatory (overlooking the river, of course!). The location is handy, so it allowed me to easily access the railway station and main attractions nearby.
The communal hallway areas had a noticeable smell of stale cigarette smoke. This was quite unpleasant.
