Lovely stay, staff friendly and welcoming. Good knowledge of area and gave good advice on local walks. 10% off voucher given for pub across the road, which was excellent, and breakfast was lovely. Nothing too much trouble for staff and even had our case taken to our room (first time in a long time).

Although this hotel is slightly outdated, could probably do with a freshern up (the reception smelt a bit musky). The receptionist was lovely and the hotel staff very friendly. The bed was suprisingly comfortable and I slept well.
1-night trip

8/10

Whilst the room showed signs that it had recently refurbished, the bed was comfortable, room was a nice size. The water pressure for the shower was lacking, the rain shower was more like drizzle. Overall an enjoyable stay, staff were friendly and accommodating, the setting was lovely and breakfast was plentiful.

Very nice facility. O ly drawback was the resturant and bar were closed, and the two pubs across the street didn't have food Monday evening.

Lovely peaceful stay, 2 pubs right opposite and the beautiful fishery inn 10 mins down the road. Drift limits is 20 minute walk and easy to find.

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.

I love how peaceful it is here, there are 3 lovely pubs, all different in menus and atmosphere, and its only a half hour walk to drift limits london motor circuit or another lovely eatery, the fishery inn. The accommodation has free widi, spacious parking, a decking area with a lovely view of the river and the staff are very helpful and polite. Ill definitely bbe back again and again

The bed was tge worst I've ever slept in, like a solid table top balanced on springs. Never felt anything like it.

We had a happy 2 night stay meeting family in the area.Our room was very clean and beds very comfortable.We had a very gd breakfast cooked to suit our needs.Shawn was available to help us settle in and answer any queries.

6/10

The whole motel had a very damp musty smell about it probably due to the fact it was built over a river. The shower head was loose and dropped and we had to jury rig a method to keep it up whilst showering. Many of the power outlets didn't work.
1-night trip

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

Part of the Sure Collection of Best Western. Really nice setting with 2 pubs directly across the road for dining options. My room was on the ground level and looked directly on to the car park so the car was only a few feet from the door which was really convenient. Really nice and friendly staff and very helpful. The room was really well decorated, up to date and clean. A nice big, comfy bed and double headed shower. There was a lovely view of the river which ran outside of the hotel. Breakfast was really well cooked and got the day off to the best start. Great value for money stay with only a couple of minor things stopping a 5 out of 5 review but would definitely look to stay here again.

Room was a good size, cold and had seen better days. Shower was cold/no food/bar yes theres a pub over thr road but its not exactly cheap. For over a £100.00 i exspected warm water and it to generally look like it was cared for.
