Excellent service, delicious food and a great location. Probably the best steak pie and chips I've ever had. Looking forward to my next visit

Fantastic place by the river and close to the city. Stayed in a 1st floor room across the carpark. Room was well equipped and nicely decorated. Service in the pub was very good for both the rooms and when we had a pub meal in the evening. Will certainly visit again.

Hubby loved the three cheese pie with cheese sauce..I had the lambs liver equally delish...gravy wasn't very tasty and slightly let it down..(throw some red wine in it perhaps)...x..meant to take a photo but forgot...but ate it all.. About the best Zinfandel I've had as well incidentally

A great place to visit especially on a nice sunny day whereby you can sit outside by the river. Although they didn't have a Bloody Mary on their menu bar staff obliged and did the best they could with the ingredients they had. I requested it spicy and boy it was that.

Amazing sunny day out! My first time in the Boathouse and I felt like on holidays. 😊 Nice crisp San Miguel was amazing in this heat and service was very friendly and helpful. 😊 I would like to come back to try the food as it looked very nice what other people ordered 😍

Great location, free carparking for hotel guests. Full breakfast available as add on to room rate. Room lovely decorated. Only problem I had in room was lack of long hanging space, and the flooring. Carpet was inset into laminate with metal edging. So if you where in barefoot, then very painful if you stood on it in the dark. Bathroom had free shampoo etc. We were going to a wedding very nearby and this was a great location right on the river.

Stayed here twice. Will return again. Really clean. Staff lovely, beautiful location. The only thing I would say is that the staff need to use a toilet brush for under the toilet rim- minor though.! & fridge needed in the room. Free parking! Restaurant good food. Rooms private. Also forgot to mention we waited 70 minuets in the restaurant for a fish and chips and a sandwich…

A lovely hotel, set in a pretty location next to the river. A nice stay but with no air-con the room was incredibly hot, despite the hotel providing a decent fan. It was a shame the Tesla chargers were not working, as this was one of the main reasons I chose this location.

Went for a meal with friends, had a brilliant time, great food and service. The attentive lady(from Flint) who served us certainly enhanced our day, remembering our drinks and being generally lovely. The rain didn't dampen our spirits at all.
