Liked: Very kind staff who accommodated all our needs and those of the dog too! Very dog friendly.Comfy beds and lovely coffee in the room , nice big shower and smart TV. Nice view of the river Dee.Ambience was lovely, we felt very welcome and loved the river walk right outside the Boat inn. The village is also lovely for a walk and a coffee. We loved it !
Disliked: Very quiet at night but the doors did make a noise when people were coming in and out downstairs in the morning. Not really a problem unless you are late sleepers like us!
