"When we arrived to check in the room was not ready. Turns out they were not even aware of our booking until we showed it to them.

Castle House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect for our family and surprisingly quiet. Brilliant location with everything we needed."

Grove Ferry Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The family room was lovely and well equipped for 2 adults and 2 children. A couple of niggles in that the blind was broken in the bathroom and the rubbish bins were a bit on the small side. Staff were really lovely and nothing was any trouble. Breakfast was delicious and we had 1 meal there which was great. Lovely setting next to the river. Would highly recommend"
