“Traditional riverside Irish pub now popular restaurant with new contemporary hotel attached. On one side, low beamed ceilings, roaring peat fires and a substantial art collection. On the other, sleek modern bedrooms with Egyptian cotton, neutral velvets and natural stone bathrooms. ”

Hotel review

With its own marina, this riverside hotel offers both old and new and makes no apology for the dichotomy. Low beamed ceilings, roaring peat fires and a substantial art collection make it a perfect spot for a traditional pint and delicious meal. The contemporary extension houses the stylish bedrooms, which blend crisp Egyptian cotton, neutral velvets and spacious natural stone bathrooms with claw-foot baths; flat screens and wi-fi as standard. Most surprising is the glass-walled fine-dining room and champagne bar, in striking black and white, revealing river views.There are plenty of outdoor activities nearby, so get out and explore!
