We very much enjoyed our DBB stay on Sunday night. The food was all very fresh and tasty with a menu that offered a good but not overwhelming choice. The bed was comfortable and the big bath made a great change from some skinny baths in other Hotels. Fantastic value on the Sunday night offer, the breakfast was delicious with... More

We have a fabulous stay for two weekday nights this June. We arrived late off the train and Becky kindly waited for us. The hotel is only 2 minutes from the station which is an hour from Liverpool St so it's great for those coming from London without a car. The welcome was very friendly and the room was wonderful....

Rooms (our room #1) - bright, natural night, tastefully decorated in lovely neutral, coastal hues - overall effect very calming and peaceful. The bathroom was large, well lot with natural light and good quality amenities (l'occitane) at the time of writing! The overall feel - coupled with the views over the estuary - was of understated quality and peaceful retreat.... More

We spent a lovely weekend here. The room was spacious, spotless and charming. The staff was attentive and pleasant. The room fee included dinner, which in and of itself is a worthwhile reason to stop here. A very pleasant stay and we've already booked our next.

What can I add that other reviewers have not already said? From stepping through the door to the last warm goodbye, our stay here was perfect. The hotel is clean and tidy, while still maintaining a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We were shown to a jaw-droppingly huge room, with great river views and a large, spotless luxurious bathroom with good... More
