10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful place

The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and well accommodated. They even carried out (incredibly heavy!!) suitcases upstairs for us. The food was incredible and there was so much variety. The only issue was the shower in our room which didn’t have temperature control and the screen was a bit broken. This wasn’t an issue for us as we were only there one night and the standalone bath was beautiful!! The rooms need a little updating but the space is incredible and the rooms were always clean.

Isobel, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stayed for one night and although our room was fine it hadn’t been dusted properly and the water pressure in the shower was non existent. Had lunch when we arrived and it wasn’t great. We were told it was lentil soup when it was clearly more like a very thick pea soup.

Lovely weekend stay in The Boat Hotel. We were lucky enough to have a room on the corner in the main building, overlooking the train station. The room was comfortable and warm, with the bedding being good quality. Nice meal in the main restaurant and a nice selection of cereals, jams and bread for breakfast. The hot breakfast cooked to order was also good.
