Really excellent hotel. Friendly staff in the hotel and pub next door, very clean rooms, comfortable beds and great breakfast.||Only minor point for improvement - water pressure in the shower was slightly low and shower gel could be a bit nicer. But overall still giving this five stars!

We had stayed here before and to be honest wasn't happy with our bed. Neither of us slept at all. However, we asked for a different room for another our stay this time. Excellent communication. we had a family room on the top floor. …

We had an anniversary meal booked, it was lovely, the meal was cooked to perfection,& I’m fussy how I like me steaks, we actually even had a lovely bottle of wine, & we don’t really drink but it went perfectly with the meal, we also had desserts. Beautiful!, then we really pushed the boat out & both had coffee, well we were stuffed, well & truly. Couldn’t move for about an hour, I would highly recommend the spring river for its food, ambience & most helpful staff. Made a special meal perfect, & I’m disabled, in a wheelchair, nothing was any trouble. I don’t get out very much being disabled but I can highly recommend this place, I will be recommending it on my “ places to go” when you’re disabled, because it’s not just the food,it’s the way I was treated, they all made me feel really special, & nothing was at all any trouble. We will be visiting this place again for sure. We’re thinking of booking our Christmas dinner here this year. Thankyou the Spring River!!
