The location was very pleasant, being right next to the River EX. So close, that the restaurant get flooded on occassions if there are severe rain falls. In recent times, the water has been above the table tops shown in the picture! This should not distract you from staying there. The accommodation was very good, some showing their age. Rooms are larger than other well known stop overs and do provide private o/s areas for those times when the weather is good, allowing for relaxing. The restaurant itself was very clean and the food (breakfast) I had was well cook and was filling. The evening menu had a varied selection and was priced as to the current market. If you book direct, you do receive 20% off the bill. Ideal for business stay over, couples holidaying in the area, looking for a couple of days stop. Best though in the drier seasons :)
