riverside walks wonderful breakfast
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.

the room was very comfortable and clean. it was nice that there was a separate area for our child to sleep. bathroom was huge with nice toiletries.
the smell in the en-suite was not very nice. the price was too high for the actual hotel expectation. i think it would have been acceptable to try and book us in earlier.
