The site was the home of an original coach house and the 3 floors of bedrooms are an addition. Modern rooms with... More

Stayed here with friends and dined at the restaurant for the New Years Eve celebration. Check in/out was quick, Room spacious overlooking the River, included a couch. Beds comfortable, bathroom small but shower very good. Outside spotlight shines almost directly at the window(room 204) caused some annoyance in the night. Function was well organised, food was excellent. Staff very pleasant... More
