The hotel has a lovely atmosphere and is beautifully designed, but the service leaves much to be desired. While the rooms are spacious and you can enjoy nice views of the gardens, the dining experience is inconsistent, and the spa facilities could be cleaner. Overall, it's a mixed bag, with potential but significant areas for improvement.

The rooms were spacious and comfortable, although there were a few minor issues with soundproofing and lighting. The dining options offered a great variety, but some aspects could have been improved. Overall, the location by the Thames is stunning and perfect for leisurely walks, and the value for money was quite good, especially with the package we booked.

The hotel boasts an appealing old-world charm, complemented by a clean, comfortable environment and friendly staff. While there are great amenities like the pool and spa, the dining options leave something to be desired, particularly with limited menu variety and high prices.
