Guests often enjoy rooms in the Temple building, sometimes even receiving upgrades with complimentary mini-bar drinks and Nespresso coffee. While some found certain rooms, like those in the Barn, less appealing or noted that rooms could be a bit small, the traditional riverside breakfast is usually a highlight, with a range of choices and attentive service often mentioned.

Acceptable stay at waterside hotel

large shower great bathroom helpful staff constant noise dirty glasses visible clutter
the room on the island included a great bathroom with a large shower. the location on the island was beautiful. the grounds are well-kept. the staff was generally friendly and helpful.
the bar area seemed chaotic behind the bar. there was clutter, rubbish, and dirty glasses visible. the fruit for drinks was left out on a chopping board. there was constant noise from a dishwasher while sitting at the bar.

excessively loud air conditioning odd stain
the island location was accessible and quite charming, i must admit.
The room was a bit of a letdown. The air conditioning was excessively loud, a real distraction when i wanted some peace. furthermore, the minibar selection was strangely limited. I expect more variety, honestly. also, i found an odd stain on the carpet. Not what i anticipated at this price!!!
