+ The location was brilliant for us visiting our daughter. Beautiful scenery and excellent Access to the motorway.
− The pillows, bedding and beds weren’t great quality. But it didn’t matter for the night.

+ Comfortable and spacious and staff gave us a new room immediately when there was a flickering light in the booked one. Nice breakfast and very good dinner.
− Only issue is it is on the river but nowhere to walk or sit by the river or means of getting to the park without a long walk on a very busy road
