Can recommend for a fleeting trip
Charming pub, friendly staff, with free parking and a flat-screen TV that made our one-night stay very enjoyable, especially after a long day of exploring the nearby trails.

The building boasts a charming, historic feel with its classic architecture. The atmosphere has an inviting vibe, ideal for relaxation after a long day.
Room 6 had some rather basic amenities, including low-quality shower gel, and no extra treats like biscuits for tea. The decoration feels outdated, with a tired aesthetic that wants sprucing up. Meals took longer than expected, with incidents of missing menu items and lukewarm breakfast options. The bathroom lacked space and comfort, while my couple of bites suggested a bug problem. At £135 for one night, it felt a bit steep given the experience.

Charming riverside stay with excellent staff
I had a delightful two-night stay in a Double Room by the river. The atmosphere was enriched by the historic charm of the inn, and I thoroughly enjoyed the relaxing garden views. The staff were attentive and made our experience even better, particularly during our lovely breakfasts which featured an array of locally sourced ingredients. the room could benefit from some cosmetic updates to enhance its comfort further.

Couples seeking a charming escape
The cooked breakfast was lovely, fresh, and filling. I enjoyed the rustic feel of the hotel, reminds me of old times when things were simpler.
It wasn’t exactly budget-friendly but I’ll say it was worth it for the experience.

The single room was pretty small. No bedside tables or lights, which was a bit annoying. But the bed? Super comfy! Shower room was also nice and clean. it was well cared for. The location's quiet, perfect for chill walks by the river.

Found a cozy bar area with character-rich decor that made for an inviting atmosphere. The old-world charm of the place offered a unique experience, complemented by riverside views that were perfect for unwinding.
The double room felt cramped and definitely needs some TLC, with squeaky curtains and persistent noise from the beer garden lights making it hard to get a good night's sleep. the absence of reachable mirrors near power outlets made basic routines a hassle. Maintenance issues, like a stubborn toilet flush, detracted from the overall comfort. Watching the swinging pub sign right outside the window was more distracting than charming, and noise from the floors above added to the restlessness.

The Ferry Boat Inn offers a charming riverside location. I enjoyed the warm, wooden interiors, creating a cozy retreat. The food stood out. the Sunday lunch was delicious, although there were some supply issues. Friendly bar staff enhanced the experience. the service during busy times felt lacking. I noticed staff struggled to handle the breakfast rush, resulting in long waits. My room, although clean, felt a bit outdated and cramped, lacking adequate seating. The shower had poor water pressure. Attention to detail in housekeeping was missing. I found dirty cutlery at breakfast, which could be improved. the charm of the place is its biggest draw, but it needs more staff during peak hours and better cleaning standards.
