Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We were booked at another hotel for a wedding but days before the event we read the reviews of the other place and realized we needed to make a shift. We were lucky to catch the last of the few remaining rooms. Staff are very friendly, place is very clean. Pool is located at the back of the property providing a nice quiet spot to enjoy the outdoors. We walked along the canal and locks. Bed was firm but comfortable. We were worried about a ground floor room on the roadside of the hotel but it was not noisy in the room. Great stay
