Food at the Tavern is truly amazing. Rooms aren't great - curtains don't close properly so you get woken up early. Also, no sound insulation so we can hear every step from the person staying the floor above. Breakfast options are very limited. Drinks/mocktails at the bar are not great - too sweat.

Modern central location with the river about a 15m walk away. Comfy beds, and quiet in a high room. Breakfast at £25pp is expensive for hot buffet, and doesn't include cooked items on menu which are a further £13 or so. Limited parking on site at £40/day, or within 7 min walk across the green at around £25/day (EV chargers here).

Room not maintained

Although the hotel was welcoming we were disappointed about some minor things. In our room 431 the bathroom door had water damage to the bottom causing it to swell and paint to peel. The toilet flush was not working well. The left hand bedside light was not working. Only two teabags and one portion of milk for tea in the room. All of which was a shame for the money we paid.

Could be great, let down by simple things

Breakfast is very bad value. Streaky bacon is only the first of many issues. WiFi slow and blocks some VPNs. Low water pressure. One lift broken, the other enraging. Staff are great and if you can get over the unnaturally long pillows the beds pretty comfortable too. Apparently charged me a tenner to upgrade my room without checking with me first. Typically vexing hotel TV.

A very shoddy experience in too many ways.

Was the manager "working from home", we wondered? To list but a few points: The shower was jammed on cold; the basin plug didn't work; there was just enough milk for a cuppa at teatime or a coffee in the morning but not both (a cunning ploy to drum up charges for room service, perhaps?); the room was cold and smelled of damp; the main lamp didn't work; nearby plumbing was noisy all night; the carpets were badly-fitted and frayed; only coco-pops and bran flakes were available at breakfast - everything else having run out by 09:30; the cooked breakfast was either dried-out (mushrooms), finished (eggs), soggy (hash browns) or cold (baked beans); tables were filthy and uncleared; cutlery, when it eventually came, had to be sent back as it too was filthy and my fork still gooey with somebody eles's food; we had to queue both to check in and check out; the pillows were like bricks; no turn-down service was provided; etc. etc. An irritatingly over-priced and utterly underwhelming visit. A 10 minute walk to the nearest parking didn't help either.

Night away with friends

Stayed here for a friend’s birthday celebration, rooms great, service in the cocktail bar was very slow. And not being able to be served at the bar, only table service was a pain.
