Room looked lovely but had a terrible smell. Food in restaurant was very good for dinner and breakfast, although there was some issue with a very long wait to be served, being given out of date menus that were not longer valid. We also organised an event there. It cost 1100 GBP for afternoon tea for 20 people. The quality of food was terrible. It cost 25 GBP a person for a few little cakes and sandwiches which were tasteless and dry - like they had been cooked 2 days before being served. I deserve at least a partial refund.

Hotel room was beautifully decorated and very clean and the bed very comfortable. The only thing was that we had a room on the top floor with a small window and it was really warm. We stayed in early May. A fan was provided but it was too noisy to run all night and we were a bit overheated which interrupted sleep. Better to request a room on the lower floors in Spring/Summer. Otherwise fabulous place in beautiful location.

Reception staff were friendly, & gave me a ground floor room on request. The room was refurbished to a good standard, clean and well appointed with a great shower room. The hotel has good vibes with the Coppa Club & really attentive staff. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay, lovely location for a 24 hour break.

Very good overall. . Like a lot of hotels, the food is good but overpriced. The location and view of the river from some rooms is fabulous. Staff are friendly and try their best for you. Unfortunately I booked last minute in order to get a peaceful night’s sleep and the fire alarm woke the whole hotel at 3am. Great that it worked, but there was no fire! Water had leaked into the sensors somehow (the weather was windy and wet that night) so after we all trooped out of our rooms in pyjamas and overcoats, we were told that there was no need to panic. Couldn’t be helped but very frustrating! Overall it’s worth the fee I paid via Expedia as I’ve stayed a few times now and would definitely recommend it. Make sure you find the best deal possible!

Lovely hotel, excellent service and all staff so friendly and helpful. My husband uses a wheelchair and the hotel was generally pretty wheelchair friendly. No accessible rooms as such with grab rails etc. However, after speaking to a very helpful person at reception before booking, we booked a room with level access. It's a shame there's a huge step up to the shower, so my husband struggled with that. These rooms could be made accessible relatively easily if wanted. If that was done, we'd be happy to return as everything else was fantastic!
