The hotel was in a fantastic location and most of the staff were helpful and fairly friendly. The toilets are not easily accessible for guests with mobility problems and the vegan meal was dreadful.

Lovely big room, was nice & warm & very clean. Shower was ok, would have preferred it to be more powerful. Bed comfortable. Stunning views out of the front of hotel to River Dee. Hotel was lovely, several different areas to eat & drink & liked the coal fires. Meals were really nice, service at the evening meals not so good though. Otherwise staff were very friendly & helpful. Would stay here again as great location.

What a lovely place to stay! From the roaring fire in the restaurant and bar , to the very friendly staff , Keira , Dee and Kyle to name a few. The style of the hotel was very much to our liking , room was very clean and spacious with a great view of the river. The bath was great and nice a warm shower. We enjoyed the 1st day so much we decided to extend our trip and stay for a further night. Thanks once again to all the staff , we will definitely be back . Andy B

Brilliant service, friendly staff, clean, well stocked room, bed wasn’t the comfiest for me but that’s a personal choice. As to be expected with a period property there are quirks, lots of creaky floorboards in our room but nt a lot could be done about this. Overall - fantastic!
