When I first went in, I found my twin room smelled very strongly, the air conditioning/ heating was really high and had unpleasant hot air that was also coming out of a crack in the wall. The bathroom was new and clean and of a good standard, and the room was better once the window could be opened and the hot air conditioning turned off. The single beds in the twin room were quite basic and hard (probably ok for back sleepers). Overall it was a satisfactory overnight stay and conveniently near the motorway.

Excellent overnight find

Nice over night stop , although we are glad we had eaten as the Resturant and bar were closed . Room comfortable and warm with a view of the Brooke that ran past the hotel . Easy parking on site and the only staff member around was very helpful and pleasant.

It was a pleasant stay, the only thing i would say is that the rooms need new carpets and a bathroom makeover, too dated.

Lovely overnight stay

We had a lovely overnight stay. We loved how this hotel is built around an old water mill and how you are right by the overflow canal off the main canal. The staff were all extremely friendly.

Has so much potential being on the river & with the waterwheel but sadly the hotel has seen better days. Our room was plenty big enough but very old furnishings & the counterpains on the bed were stained. Unfortunately the rooms at the front are subject to road noise.
