    Afternoon tea at No. 1 was outstanding. Seated in a bright, sunny room, we enjoyed our tea and bubbles with scones, sandwiches. Sweets were light and airy. Staff were kind and attentive.

    We loved our stay! The feel of the hotel is a lot of fun, but the staff made our experience, very helpful and attentive. We enjoyed both breakfast and dinner in the restaurant. Best of all were a pair of Brompton bikes we borrowed for a cycle down by the river. Many thanks!
