Very friendly welcome and the traditional architecture is amazing. Great chef as well. We loved the lobster and the foie gras.

Very nice.
Very nice atmosphere and friendly staff, very comfy bed, very clean, make sure you turn on the shower 5-10 mins before you want one, hot water takes ages and no glasses/ Tumblers.
Beautiful hotel in a beautiful setting by the river. Amazing food in the restaurant. Plenty of choices for food options nearby. Attentive and friendly staff
We enjoyed our stay at the French horn. It has old work charm and the staff are excellent, friendly without being in your face. The feel of the place is lovely and right on the river. A sympathetic make over would be beneficial building on the charm and character of the place. The rooms were spotless, comfortable and spacious.
I cannot rate the staff too highly they were excellent.
The food is very good although expensive and the silver service faultless.
The only real downside is the road alongside the property but we were not disturbed by it and was quiet at night.
Overall I will stay sgain

A stay of two halves
Well my stay started off very promising, hotel reception called in advance of my check-in to see if I wanted dinner (always nice to get this call), on my arrival was informed I had been upgraded to a junior suite (again nice). I was shown to my room, it was very cold but I can live with that as I had only booked a few hours before arriving and wouldn't expect them to heat an empty room. I slept reasonably well but when I awoke early to shower & shave I was greeted with only cold water, It's an old building I thought so lets just let the water run a little..5 minutes still ice cold water..10 minutes again still ice cold this made for a very bad start to the day. I went to check out as I had already lost 15 minutes to my day by faffing about with the water I wanted to get going ASAP. I mentioned that there had been no hot water and was amazed at the response I got "well it is an old building" I will spare you the rest of this short conversation. My advice is do not stay here if you need to have a shower that is not ice cold!!!
Stunning location. Great service. Quiet rooms with great views. In the morning, just walk down the beautiful lawn, jump in the river and go for a swim.
A traditional upmarket hotel. Quite old fashioned in the decor and feels rather grand of the last. Food is expensive but a pleasant enough hotel. Beautiful location not a lot around. Wouldn’t recommend for children.
The receptionist who is there in the afternoons and evenings is incredibly friendly. The other one, who is there in the mornings, is not, and is unpleasant to deal with.
The service, the setting, the location, the food, all were nothing short of excellent. I was there on a business trip which looks like additional visits in the future. I will most definitely be booking this hotel again, can't recommend enough.
From the moment I walked through the front door I was made to feel incredibly welcome and the staff went out of their way to ensure that our needs were fully catered for. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our overnight stay in one of the Riverside Cottages and the breakfast was excellent. We hope to come back one day.
This hotel needs new towels and sheets - both were awful - full of holes and shredded, as was the bathrobe. The balcony outside room 7 was littered with cigarette butts and cobwebs and needs a good wash and clean up.
Disappointing as certainly not worth the price although the location was attractive.
We were looking for a unique location for a special birthday and this hotel had it. Location beautiful, standard of service excellent, restaurant had menu that was impressive. Food very well cooked. Cottage room we stayed in had everything we needed.
The hotel was very traditional, but not in an out-dated sense. Overall a very pleasing and comfortable stay. The staff we very welcoming and attentive.
If you are looking for a characterful property in an exceptional location with fantastic food and exceptional service then this is the place for you. If you don´t like quirky, whine about the cost of a meal, and want antiseptic efficiency then don´t stay here. It´s not perfect but it has so much character that you can forgive its faults. If you have a soul.
Great service and easy check-in. Nice location by the river. Very tasty breakfast and the option of alfresco dining. I would certainly stay again. I imagine they're very busy in the summer.
