We loved the hotel and the room, one thing I felt wasn't customer focused was a pre£35 charge for having a pet ( fine after if she fouled but usually it's complimentary or £10), and£40 overnight parking. Excessive. Everything else was superb.

Modern central location with the river about a 15m walk away. Comfy beds, and quiet in a high room. Breakfast at £25pp is expensive for hot buffet, and doesn't include cooked items on menu which are a further £13 or so. Limited parking on site at £40/day, or within 7 min walk across the green at around £25/day (EV chargers here).

Very tastefully decorated room with crafted warm wood & muted colors. Comfortable armchair. Very clean bathroom with decent water pressure. The bar was a highlight as well, lovely traditional vibe with very comfortable seating & great views. Accomplished next-level drinks & outstanding cream tea with enough clotted cream (somehow places never serve enough) & truly excellent scones. They’re a national staple but good ones are so hard to find.
