"One with a balcony overlooking the river. Well worth the extra cost for before and after dinner river watching and early morning."

With individually designed rooms and unique touches like the 'mini pudding' dining experience, it's clear the focus is on a curated stay; I also appreciate the pet-friendly policy.
