Really good Stay by the Dee

spacious room clean room excellent river view
The hotel's style appealed to me. My room was spacious and very clean. The river view was excellent. I extended my stay because of the high quality on the first night.
The hotel bar had a limited lounging area. There were no sofas to sit on. I sat in the bar after dinner. This setup felt unexpected for a 4-star hotel.

The hotel offers access to the river's edge. Great views are visible. The exterior looks grand. The receptionist was friendly and knowledgeable. They showed me to my room.
