Our room was very comfortable and quite spacious. Although on a busy road, the room was quite soundproof and the traffic noise did not disturb us at all. The furnishings were very tasteful and comfortable and we enjoyed having a large TV screen. Would definitely recommend

All good except for proximity to busy road just beyond the pleasant gardens and little pool which we didn’t use. But double glazing helped reduce noise.

Fantastic room with two separate bedroom areas. Comfy beds. Great kitchen. Slightly strange shower with a domed room, but had everything we needed. Pool was ok, but a bit dirty. Staff were lovely. Location was good.

The staff were super friendly, the room was spacious and had everything we needed, and the setting was lovely. The price we paid through the Expedia app was more than we would normally pay for a property of this level. This place is fabulous if you get a good deal, and we would stay again if we were travelling to Thames.

The staff were very helpful and friendly; room clean and safe. At best, I think the room was mid/average and at the current price a night, well, quite over-priced. Anyway, it is what it is.
