The inn offers comfortable and recently renovated rooms, though it could use a bit of freshening up. The service at breakfast time was excellent, with a minor hiccup. The location, though slightly further out than expected, is manageable and scenic. The dining experience was mainly positive, with one minor issue. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.

The location was great, right by the Canal and conveniently close to two nice pubs for dinner. Despite being near a train line and airport, noise was minimal due to secondary double glazing.

The dining experience was scrumptious, and the food was cooked fresh. However, it leaned towards being oily which was not the healthiest option.
