Excellent hotel

Liked: Very comfortable bed, room nice and spacious. Very good quality breakfast, small but very nice spa with two steam rooms, sauna and pool (extra but worth booking) . Hotel general areas very good, bar is nice with one real ale at time of writing which is a welcome rarity. Riverside location a lovely setting. Car parking was no problem.
Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Nice position, clean, decent breakfast, nice shower and facilities and staff were friendly, great value

Liked: Great location. Lovely looking hotel.Great food.
