Excellent Stay by the River
hot chocolate good shower helpful staff short walk
My room offered tea, coffee, and hot chocolate options. The bathroom provided a good shower with plenty of hot water. All staff members were fantastic, helpful, and knowledgeable. The location is a short walk away from the town centre.
The car park was a bit challenging. A reserved area for hotel residents would improve the experience.
