Reviewer Type: Extended Group
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Loved the decor and the character. Clean and cosy. Lovely view of the river. Staff were lovely. Pretty spot by the river once you enter the gate.
Negative: The location is under a bridge and concrete road. Hard to find and also doesn’t look so appealing. I wouldn’t feel safe alone at night. The traffic can be a bit noisy at night. Others mentioned the noise of the boats that pass, but that wasn’t a problem for us.
Summary: Lovely experience! Gorgeous characterful boat!
