"ok, first the bases. location, I enjoy going the thames river paths and it is not too far from the river; the rooms are very well equipped; modern and very nice on suite bathrooms; Restaurant menu, fabulous and more than their usual pub food! but what makes this a great place to stay or just for eating or drinking is the owner and the personal. friendly, attentive without “hovering” and always helpful. many thanks kevin, sophie, wants and the other barkeeper (sorry but I didn't catch their names, but they were a great dj for the party and their campari splash was perfect! . I stay here at my next visit!"
