The rooms were very nice and comfortable. The staff was insanely helpful. My reservation was messed up and they helped me figure out and upgraded my room.

Breakfast had a great choice from the menu and from the continental selection with fresh fruit and clearly labelled cereals.
The dinner choices were outstanding. Everything I ate was fresh and well balanced. The fish choices and desserts were a particular favourite.
The room was well decorated with a calming colour scheme and details considered such as the perfect curtain length.
The outside space included various places to sit in the shade or sun, on the patio surrounded by plants or on the lawn with a view of the countryside. The plants brought nature to the rooms and meant I could watch birds and insects from my window.
The rooms are away from the pub so piece can be found even on a busy night. Yet as it is such a short walk it won’t be a struggle for those who need step free access or little exertion.
We loved the Elizabethan style of properties in the town,...
We loved the Elizabethan style of properties in the town, Streets are narrow and hardly any shops and one pub/restaurant The Anchor on the river is worth a visit. Many walks also in the area. It was quite a quiet area when we visited in early May.
