The location allowed lovely walks. Gardens are accessible near the river. Breakfast was wonderful. My husband really enjoyed the eggs benedict. The staff was great and helpful. My stay felt both peaceful and romantic. I felt at home here.
The room was a nice standard, but I found the bathroom dated. A walk-in shower would have. The shower head sprayed water, and it was hard to get into the bath.
