Location and surrounding felt safe. As I was only staying for 1 night and had been invited to breakfast the following morning, elsewhere, I didn’t have the need to take up the offer of that facility. Maybe next time, as I was impressed with the hotel and their friendly staff, on the whole. The room was clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. I have no negative comments to make.

Upon arrival we were quite impressed , the gardens and pub itself were lovely. We were shown to a nice table by the window overlooking the river which was nice. The staff were pleasant but very scruffy , one young lady had holes in her t shirt , others wore screwed up jeans and trousers . Our food was very good, however we ordered dessert which did not arrive . We also thought the wine was very expensive for this type of establishment. This place is trying to be something it is not, it is more akin to a Toby chain pub. Really disappointed.

We went for lunch today. Ordered food and it took over 30 minutes before food arrived. My caesar salad was ok but no anchovies although I asked for them. Chi Ken was slightly charred too much. Meat feast pizza lacked any taste and tge small plate of beef had to be sent back, because it had dried up and was really tough

Room was a standard size and quality, check in was super smooth and very professional. We were lucky enough to be able to have afternoon drinks and our evening meal sat by the river. We have stayed at plenty of Inns and hotels that also cater for weddings and other celebrations, most have a knack of this encroaching upon other guests. Not so at the Kingfisher I am delighted to report, we could just about make out the celebrations going on in the adjacent barn room whist we sat on the riverside patio but nothing distracted us from our enjoyment. The Staff were excellent and nothing seemed too much for them. The food was good, there was plenty of it and it was hot where it needed to be. For our £139 (through Classic British Hotels) we had a double room (on a Friday night), Bottle of ice cold Prosecco (Which we were allowed to use at dinner), £50 per couple dinner allowance and a cooked breakfast, a bargain. We will be back.

Sunday roast was very disappointing. We’ve eaten here before and the food was very good but unfortunately this time it was awful. Potatoes were dry and overcooked as was the Yorkshire puddings. The meat was a bit dry and overcooked too. I’m afraid we’re unlikely to visit for Sunday dinner again.

Very happy with our stay. Beautiful location. Rooms are spacious, clean and come with toiletries, fan, tea and coffee facilities, a safe and ironing board. I'd say rooms are a little dated but nothing that spoils the experience. Food is reasonable but service can be very slow. Staff are mostly very lovely and extremely helpful. Would definitely recommend and be happy to stay again.
