Good Hotel Guide Review
The hotel experts at the Good Hotel Guide
'Traditional pub, lovely atmosphere, fantastic staff and mouth-watering food' sums up what readers think of this ivy-cloaked Georgian townhouse hotel, overlooking a riverside park by the Great Ouse. A buzzy lounge, bar and patio garden attract drop-ins, while the more formal restaurant serves food 'cooked to perfection'. The menu mixes pub classics with dishes such as salmon tikki masala, Bombay aloo, fennel jam; 'the best mushroom wellington'. 'Wines are first class'; there is a wine shop. New owners the Chestnut Group know they're onto a winning formula and don't plan to make any changes. Some of the bedrooms have four-posters. Those adjacent to the ring road are triple glazed. Ground-floor rooms are accessed via the restaurant. One reader had 'the most stylish fully accessible room'. 'The river and townscape views are pleasant,' writes another, who requested a quieter room. 'The staff apologised for it being on the small side at the top of the hotel, but we found our eyrie more than adequate and very well maintained.' There is lavish praise for the 'friendly', 'courteous' and 'professional' service. (Peter Anderson, Lindsay Hunt, David Wright, and others)
