“This hotel strikes me as a restful retreat along the River Thames, balancing historic charm with updated comforts. The riverside setting lends itself to memorable events, especially weddings, and I appreciate the pet-friendly accommodations. It's a place where the location is as much an amenity as the cooked-to-order breakfast.”
