The staff were super friendly, the room was spacious and had everything we needed, and the setting was lovely. The price we paid through the Expedia app was more than we would normally pay for a property of this level. This place is fabulous if you get a good deal, and we would stay again if we were travelling to Thames.

This was a large room with a kitchenette which made it easy for us to organise our own breakfast. It was also within easy distance of the local restaurants, a laundrette and a petrol station which was very useful.

The staff were very helpful and friendly; room clean and safe. At best, I think the room was mid/average and at the current price a night, well, quite over-priced. Anyway, it is what it is.

Not a bad place to stay but in the morning we found the toaster was broken (not the end of the world except we have a 1yr old who desperately wanted his toast for breakfast) it was too early to resolve but at checkout we let the guy on the front desk know and it sounds like it happens often and he didn't seem to care that it wasn't functioning. The shower pressure was a bit poor also.
