“This inn truly captures the essence of a characterful establishment, its timber framing and riverside location offering a distinct sense of place. The rooms, though perhaps with a touch of rustic charm in their decor, are unexpectedly spacious and comfortable, particularly noted for their excellent beds and well-appointed shower facilities. It stands out as a solid choice for value and a convenient base.”
