Meals are Delicious
From breakfast to dinner, guests rave about the food at this inn. Breakfast is served in a conservatory overlooking the river, and has everything you want in a traditional English breakfast. Dinner as well is excellent and guests love the great ales on tap on the pub.

Negative Reviews
negative:
A Cool Feeling
Some guests say that it can be a bit chilly in the rooms, especially when it's windy and cool outside. Plus, the drafty sash windows rattle quite a bit. You may want to pack an extra blanket and sweater to be on the safe side.
negative:
Poor Wi-Fi Signal
Be aware that some guests say the in-room Wi-Fi signal is quite weak, perhaps even non-existent most of the time. If you need to access your electronic devices, you'll need to make other arrangements.
