The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The breakfast was excellent. Lots of choice. Just a shame our room was near a busy road. Another time I'd prefer a room overlooking the garden.

Beautiful setting and right next to Limehouse Station. Breakfast was a good variety of cold items along with and tea and coffee. The only negative which is no fault of the property is the noise from cars outside honking at all hours due to traffic congestion. This would not stop me from returning.

We love staying here. The rooms facing the garden are always peaceful and quiet. Beds and rooms are comfy and clean. Fans are always provided. I just wish the windows opened more for fresh air circulation. Breakfast is buffet but we always find something to our taste. My daughter is vegetarian and she struggled though. Possibly need a few more vegetarian options at breakfast. Otherwise all good thanks.

An oasis in busy London, not far from Canary Wharf. Plenty of parking. You won't find a tele in your room, and in that sense the room is may be more basic. Staff is extremely helpful. And for us a place to catch breath and feel the earth between busy days in London with its sensory overload. Breakfast (in the garden?) has everything you can expect.
