Amazing stay
Wonderfully designed hotel and bedrooms, complete with finishing details. Large comfortable beds with working heating provided a warm cosy evening. Beautiful landscape and surrounding views. Would love to visit in the summer and enjoy a ride along the river.

The Hotel is lovely
The Hotel is lovely and the reception staff excellent. The only non 5* part of the stay was in the restaurant where an otherwise excellent meal was blemished by a very gristly steak which was met pretty much with a shrug of the shoulders when pointed out to the serving staff.

10/10 Exceptional

Idyllic setting by the river, and in walking distance from The Mill Theatre. Cool decor, very clean, lovely and comfy 'cosy double' room. All hotel and restaurant staff are very friendly and helpful. Restaurant food is tasty - not cheap, but good burgers and delicious range for breakfast. Top tip - book and PAY in advance for your breakfast to guarantee a table and pay the maximum of £17.50 rather being charged for individual items.

A lovely location for a modern twist on the country house hotel. We stayed in the Coach House apartment which was quirky but well appointed. Great food and service at the Coppa Club with other options nearby.

Immaculately clean and beautifully laid out room. The free standing fan played a welcome dual role of cooling the room and masking the road noise.

A comfortable stay
A pleasant stay in a very cosy room overlooking a car park so quite noisy. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable but rather creaky. A good range of beverages plus bottled water in the fridge. Lovely bathroom with very nice toiletries and soft towels. Ideal for an overnight stay. A lovely terrace and garden with plenty of seating including some pods. There is a gate that takes you onto the towpath so that you can walk off your breakfast or lunch!
