“While the public areas could benefit from a refresh, the individual rooms present a notable contrast, often spacious, bright, and remarkably clean, with some affording beautiful water views. The staff's warmth and attentiveness are consistently highlighted, alongside a pub that serves genuinely good food with a thoughtful menu. It's a place where thoughtful renovations, particularly in barn conversions, blend with excellent beds and attentive touches, making for a highly recommendable stay.”
