Property was dated in terms of the decor (1970/1980s) but rooms had been kept in really good condition and well maintained which made the decor somewhat appealing for someone who can remember this era. Lovely place to stay and convenient to the city or walks on paths alongside the river. Would recommend and would stay here again

Very good place right on the River front and close to town. Friendly staff and had everything we needed. Older place and was a wee bit tired looking but good value for money. Would certainly stay here again.

Arrived after 7pm to find all the windows still open and cold. The heater in the room is very small and took a whole to heat up the size of the 1 bedroom room.

While the rooms are an excellent size and meticulously clean, the interiors and furnishings are aged or tired. Also as an observation, if staying in winter, the rooms take a while to warm up. This is due to the size of the room (not a bad thing) and the high ceiling with the exposed beams (also not a bad thing). Just be prepared to wait.

Staff & service was excellent. The area was excellent in terms of location. Great river walks , shopping.cafes, markets,town centre all within walking distance or a very short drive. Building a little dated the only negative but everything else more than atones.
