I had a lovely stay at this hotel, nestled along the river with splendid views. The unique charm of the converted mill made for a memorable ambiance, while the modern amenities in the rooms added comfort. Breakfast was a highlight, with delicious options that set a positive tone for each day. However, I did find that the parking could feel a bit tight during peak hours, and I would have loved more outdoor seating options to truly soak in the surroundings.
