    modern decor
    uncomfortable mattress
    noisy environment

    Lovely room with modern decor.

    We encountered numerous issues during our stay. The mattress was incredibly uncomfortable, making it hard to get a good night's sleep. the noise from the busy road was unbearable at times, especially during the day when walls seemed to amplify every sound. To top it off, the staff seemed indifferent to our complaints, which only added to our frustration.

    comfy bed
    great food

    Perfect for a Solo Traveler Seeking Comfort

    I had the chance to enjoy a wonderfully cozy room, decorated with modern touches and the big comfy bed was just what I needed after a long day. Plus, the downstairs cafe served some of the best food I've had in a while!

    It wasn't exactly cheap, but I guess you pay for quality and comfort.

    during my stay, I loved being just a short stroll from Midsummer Common and the beautiful scenery along the river, which made my walks truly enjoyable. The friendly staff and the comfortable bar area added to the charm of my visit, providing a relaxing spot after exploring.

    cozy garden
    super comfy beds
    pub noise

    We had an awesome stay with super comfy beds and a spacious shower that felt like a spa moment! The cozy outdoor garden was perfect for relaxing with a drink and enjoying the fresh air. Just a heads up, the pub noise was a bit much at times, but overall, we loved it and would definitely come back! 😊

    charming atmosphere
    outstanding hospitality
    smaller room
    breakfast value
    slight noise

    The location offers a charming atmosphere with easy access to a beautiful park and pleasant outdoor spaces. Staff members, especially Ebony, exemplified outstanding hospitality, making our experience truly delightful. Dinner at the pub was impressive, featuring a great variety of beers and delicious food, including exceptional pancakes for dessert. the room size was a bit smaller than expected, leading to some discomfort. while the a la carte breakfast had good options, it didn't offer the best value compared to chain hotels.

    charming room but noisy pub

    The room was cute and a nice fit. The waterfall shower offered a refreshing experience.

    The atmosphere from the pub downstairs created a lively vibe, which some might find distracting.

    Great spot for a short stay!

    Really liked my time at this pub over three nights. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The food was decent, especially the breakfast. Clean room and close to shops. Parking was a bit of a hassle since I had to walk 5 mins to the nearest lot.

    charming, charming, charming

    I had an absolutely charming experience here! The room was a cozy haven with an industrial shower that added a modern twist. Plus, the vibrant pub downstairs, with its great selection of local beers and fantastic staff, made every moment feel like a friendly gathering.

    comfy bed
    big shower
    modern decor
    no fridge
    none noted

    The room was really nicely decorated with a rustic modern vibe, super clean, and the bed was super comfy. The shower was nice and big, and I appreciated the little touches like lotus biscuits and a hot water bottle. There was a high-tech fan that worked great, and it had lots of light and storage space. Only thing I'd say is that I missed having a fridge in the room. it was a comfy spot to rest after exploring.

    excellent food

    the waterman is positioned conveniently about 3/4 mile from the center, making it easy to explore. the pub has a warm and friendly vibe, primarily catering to locals and sports fans. we found the food to be excellent, exceeding our expectations. it truly felt like a hidden gem for foodies.
