The lodge was clean and nice but let down by an undercooked dinner and an uncomfortable stomach over night. Breakfast was not experienced due to this.

Interesting location and a building with character

Overall a good one-night stay and good value for money, in an excellent location. We stayed in Master Swan suite and there was plenty of space. What must be said, however, is that the stairs up to the room are very steep and because it is a building with "character" the floors in the suite were pretty uneven, meaning that care was needed when moving around. It is also the case that the bathroom had a few design "quirks" (like nowhere to put the soap or toothbrushes by the sink) and although soap + shampoo etc were provided there were no tissues. We had dinner in the restaurant and it was fine, ditto breakfast.

Booked the pike and eel on a last Minuite decision. Very pleasantly surprised on arriving at the hotel to see its position. The door to our “Chalet” overlooked the River/ marina and as I’m into boats what a result. Spent a very pleasant evening on the decking outside the hotel enjoying the atmosphere. Ok the midgies/mosquitoes were annoying, but next time I will be prepared.(Avon skin so soft). Friendly helpful staff and a friendly clientele made the evening very enjoyable. If only we lived closer than 4 hours!! Will defiantly stay again. The Chalet may be basic but the bed was comfortable and the shower refreshing, all we needed. The hotel is friendly and inviting and with the position, what can I say.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Shoddy rooms with paper thin walls.

Reception chaotic with no indication of where to sign in. We stayed in Chalet room. Shower and bath tiling was in need of a clean. Room generally shoddy with mismatched window blinds. One of blinds was incorrectly fitted and so didn't work. Walls paper thin and we were woken a 1 am with neighbours who then chattered for over an hour. Would never stay there again.

Mais motel que hotel

O quarto em que fiquei era fora do edifício principal, tipo motel. Como a porta dava para a rua e o edifício já é antigo, mesmo com o aquecimento era bastante frio durante a noite.

Bed was clean but soft. Room needed attention - dusty floors, litter next to bed, dusty bedside lamps, dirty windows. Floor was extremely noisy and leaned in several different directions. Sound proofing not good, could hear phone conversations and movement from other rooms. Restaurant service was slow and no info in the room to advise opening times, which are limited. Location was lovely - shame the hotel doesn’t’ match up. Disappointing.

Fabulous traditional (family feel) pub/hotel on the river/marina. Sitting out in the sun, listening to the music provided soaking up the scenery was just brilliant - not what I was expecting but absolutely loved it! I would definitely go back and stay again. The food was good and staff friendly and attentive (but I was expecting that). Would definitely recommend.

Very Disappointing for £90 a night !

Lovely setting, but room very disappointing, blinds broken, flooring very tatty, strong smell of sewage from bathroom in the evening, lots of cobwebs. Bedding & Towels very clean but whole room needs a lick of paint, new flooring & definitely new blinds as there are no curtains
