    The pool is excellent. It wasn’t obvious when initially booked that you had one. Suggest making that a feature and noting it is heated. My kids loved it. Was a highlight.

    The room was great, a toaster would have been handy but not necessary, bathroom could do with an upgrade but it was fine

    Terrific location a short walk from the river and not far to go into town. The room had all that we needed; it was spacious, with comfy beds and the small kitchenette is handy, even though we didn't use it. The fresh milk in the fridge to make tea...

    Very clean and comfortable rooms with unique timber trims giving a quality feel. Good extras include crockery cutlery in kitchenette. Location is peaceful, close to river but still close to main road.
