We loved the hotel and the room, one thing I felt wasn't customer focused was a pre£35 charge for having a pet ( fine after if she fouled but usually it's complimentary or £10), and£40 overnight parking. Excessive. Everything else was superb.

Food at the Tavern is truly amazing. Rooms aren't great - curtains don't close properly so you get woken up early. Also, no sound insulation so we can hear every step from the person staying the floor above. Breakfast options are very limited. Drinks/mocktails at the bar are not great - too sweat.

Modern central location with the river about a 15m walk away. Comfy beds, and quiet in a high room. Breakfast at £25pp is expensive for hot buffet, and doesn't include cooked items on menu which are a further £13 or so. Limited parking on site at £40/day, or within 7 min walk across the green at around £25/day (EV chargers here).
