“My exploration suggests this hotel sits wonderfully on the river, offering beautiful grounds and a car park that seems to ease any arrival concerns. Guests consistently highlight a breakfast that stands out, even among UK hotels, and the rooms, particularly those with river views, are noted for their comfort and recent updates. The easy walk to the cathedral and town, coupled with a helpful shuttle service in the evenings, makes it a thoroughly considered stay.”
