The hotel was slightly smaller but more cosy and homely, with a nice balcony and a convenient location. The service was wonderful, friendly, and helpful. The dining experience could be better, and the location, although recommended, was a bit dull with limited views. Rooms may have had a chip fat smell, but noise was not an issue for us.

The location is recommended despite being a bit dull with no room views. However, the nearby river for boat hire and duck feeding added some charm.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms had some issues, being above a speaker from the restaurant which caused noise, but the DJ and dinner option made up for it. The separate house stay wasn't ideal. The room was small for a double, a bit hot, and further from the concert site than I'd like, but considering the price and overall service, I left happy.

Rooms

7.0

The room was a bit noisy due to being above a speaker, but the DJ and dinner option helped alleviate the issue. The separate house stay wasn't convenient, and the room size was small with a low sloping roof on one side. It was also a tad hot.

Service

6.0

The service was a mix - some staff were not attentive, particularly in closing the bar early, while others were helpful, professional, and friendly. Room service was efficient.

Location

5.0

The location was a bit far from the concert site, but it was nice for an evening stroll. The hotel layout allowed for wheelchair accessibility. The breakfast host's confusion was a downside, and the surroundings seemed littered.

Dining

6.0

The dining experience had its flaws - poor setup with hot food, limited fresh fruit, and confusing layout changes. However, the food quality was good despite small portion sizes.
