We were looking for a quiet getaway for a weekend in January so having seen the Tripadvisor award that this hotel had won we were keen to give it a go.
Luckily we had the privelege of having the whole hotel to ourselves (which we didn't have to pay extra for!!) so it was a case of our lovely hosts Jennifer and Brian looking after only us, which suited our needs perfectly.
Jennifer was a great as front of house and we were delighted to be able to have a wonderful 3 course dinner on the Saturday which allowed us to experience Brian's wonderful culinary skills. I've stayed in some decent hotels previously including the 5 star Bovey Castle and I can honestly say the food was better. Brian treats his food seriously and this hotel, albeit 3 star, punches well above it's weight in the food department. The breakfasts were perfect and probably the best full english I've ever had.
The room we stayed in was great having a balcony and great river views. It was slightly cold but that was expected given the time of year and the heater provided was more than adequate.
We'd definitely stay again and what Jennifer and Brian provide is a perfect example of hoteliery which I believe some much higher rated establishments could do with emulating.
Thanks again Jennifer and Brian.
