Enjoyable
Nice room looking over the water. Bit dusty, but comfortable. Service was very slow but the food was a good quality and very expensive. Why do they need to charge extra for tomatoes at breakfast? Bit cheapskate if you ask me, especially when a breakfast is £26 in the first place. Very enjoyable evening however.

Our experience of the staff was inconsistent, check-in was fairly lack lustre and no explanation of facilities, dining options or card service was given. Couldn't find bar staff. However the concierge was really helpful. Communal rooms were lovely but the bedrooms were old and tired. ( We had to switch rooms) Even in the upgraded room the shower was broken, TV old and kept switching off, chipped paintwork and a hole in the back of the bathroom door. disappointing for a 4 star. Location is excellent, but they don't have to work on that!

Comfortable in a great location
I've stayed here twice now and while it's old school decor isn't really to my taste, and it could do with a refresh, it's actually a really nice hotel that is comfortable. The location is also fantastic. You're unlikely to get many better settings for either you evening drink/meal or breakfast. Breakfast is also really good for a smallish hotel.

The general facilities were cramped and gloomy, with the layout again cramped and complicated having grown like topsy with too many stairs. The situation was redeemed by room 91 which was clean, comfortable, airy and with an hypnotic view over the weir. The staffing at reception/ concierge was excellent and most helpful. The staff in the dining room (dinner) were pushy and more interested in being given favourable reviews than in giving a good service. We only dined once as a consequence. Sorry! Had the overall feeling of an airport hotel.
