The rooms are small but the overall building is amazing. Great old building, wonderful sense of history, Nice fires and feeling to the place. We were the only guests, it was winter but I think it had only just re-opened. The manager was very hospitable, was missing a few ingredients for my partners cocktails but the place had a great feel.

The interior of the property suited the exterior - a period piece of excellence. Staff were great, the area quiet and peaceful - just what we wanted. A perfect location for the railway and river cruise journey's that again were both excellent (recommended).
