Great location, walk to town Centre stores, eateries. Lovely restaurant, great food
Every thing about the hotel was great except our experience with breakfast. We were told fhat that a large group had just left and that the kitchen was now "busy" that the pnly thing available to us was the "cold continental breakfast" that would have been fine except that the items had not been replentished after the large group had left and that because the kitchen was "busy" there would be no replentishment even though there was an hour and a half left on the breakfast schedule.With the minimal selection of items we, and others, were charged the full breakfast . Such a disappointment for an otherwise lovely llace.
The hotel was in a pretty good location. It did take us awhile to find a coffee shop the first morning. The dining room was good and the entire staff was excellent. My only complaint was that there wasn't enough parking spots available. That being said, we didn't pay for parking!
Everything thing was excellent except they moved our room midday while we were out and about— even though we had told them we had booked the nights separately but expected to to stay in the same room, per instructions from the second booking company.
Clean, good location, and friendly staff. Room wasn’t set up for three, yet the foldaway was placed in our room (which blocked access to the outside sliding doors). I feel the website should be updated to show the river is mud filled, which would have stopped us from paying extra money for a river view.
