In a piece full location overlooking the river. Terrace is shaded with a nice view. Food is classic French style and exceptional. This would be a lovely hotel to stay for a few days and enjoy the food and wine. We had lunch which was really enjoyable. Hotel is impeccably maintained and clean. Toilets were exceptionally clean and well maintained.

Dined here with a party of friends. Food was ok and aspired to be top notch gourmet but missed the mark somewhat. Tasteless olives clearly from a jar. Food was OK, but nothing special and lacked the flavours needed to be classed as gourmet dining. Overpriced for what was presented. The service was excellent with friendly staff. Location was nice but not a great view of the river. Probably would not return.

Peaceful location, very well kept hotel. The rooms were impeccable and also air conditioned. The food in the restaurant was also of a very high standard. Run by a friendly couple. All good.
